Nick Colionne – Influences
Chicago based guitarist Nick Colionne just released his new album Influences on Trippin’ N Rhythm Records. The death of his longtime partner and manager Carol Ray overshadowed the production of this project. The album is dedicated to her.
Heavily involved in the recording is Pieces of A Dream keyboardist James Lloyd, who also has written and produced several of the tunes. Furthermore credited are singer Maysa, keyboardists John Blasucci, Chris “Big Dog” Davis, Tim Gant and Mike Logan, bass player Tony Brown and drummer Tom Hipskind.
Slammin’ means very attractive, wondrous, in style, cool, hip. All attributes are defining the starting tune of Nick’s new album. Got to Keep It Moving offers a throbbing bass rhythm, on which Nick develops his guitar ideas.
