Colin Edwin – Explorations of his Music on His Birthday – July 2nd!

Colin Edwin –  fretted and fretless bass guitar , double bass and guembri. –Born July 2, 1970

So today July 2nd is his birthday. So, I thought it may be a good day to more extensively explore the man and his music.  What I discovered is that Colin Edwin, like many talented musicians has many different outlets for his musicianship! In addition to his work with Porcupine Tree, Edwin has released solo albums. He has also collaborated many artists and been a member of several bands! Some basics from Wikipedia. Read More

I hadn’t noticed that the opening track “The Passing Bell” – was in typical ProgRock fashion was over 17 minutes long! Read More
