Colin Cripps joins me on the show this month. Colin is a phenomenal guitarist who doesn’t really appear under his own name very often. He prefers to play the sideguy role and has graced albums for years as musician and producer for Blue Rodeo, Kathleen Edwards and many more. Colin hails from the mysterious town of Hamilton, Ontario that has produced way more musical legends than a city of that size should have. We get into some deep Hamilton history, some stories about the scene with the Lanois brothers, and Colin’s work with his band Crash Vegas that was around the scene during that time, all the way through his career to his more recent work and how he approaches collaborating in the studio and finding cool guitar sounds. Colin is also a certifiable gear maniac and has a pretty extensive collection of guitars and amps that we get into as well. With so much to yak about, this episode got split into 2 parts and will continue one week from today. Enjoy, share the episode, and don’t forget to leave us a review, and subscribe to the show.
