Collins and DiBon
Retro grooves and thoughtful melodies and rhythms, made into soulful Pop/Rock/Blues tunes for the new millenium. This music has a feel reminiscent of a whole lot of stuff you probably haven't heard in a while, but always remember fondly. Don't forget to play it loud.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Walt engineered/produced a full-length Alternative Country record for a down-home rockin' bar band he was playing for in 1999. Brian engineered/produced a Pop/Rock demo in 1998, in pursuit of a publishing deal for some of his (most excellent!) original songs. Having played in Brian's band back in the mid-90's, Walt thought it might be a good combo and so the collaborative project Collins & DiBon was born!
