A Berklee College of Music Grad, Charlie Colin was a founding member of Grammy Award winning rockers Train. Akin to Chris Squire and Sir Paul, Charlie often broke out of the pocket with swooping counter-melodic passages that weaved through the band’s radio ready singles and album tracks such as “Calling All Angels,” “She’s On Fire,” and “Whipping Boy,” among others.

Colin also balanced his bright tone with punchy lower register lines that served the singer and the song quite effectively.
