Nick Colionne Gives Back

Smooth jazz guitarist and vocalist Nick Colionne will hold a free youth jazz clinic at The Burnsville Performing Arts Center on January 23rd in conjunction with his headline appearance the following night, January 24th, at the Grand Opening of the Burnsville, Minnestoa Performing Arts Center.

Invited to attend will be kids from The Garage, local area school jazz bands and of course, any interested teens. The Garage is the presenting sponsor of the event and an award-winning Burnsville youth center which provides programs in the creative arts geared towards teens 13-18.

Known for his long-time commitment to mentoring, Nick is delighted to have the opportunity to interact with the kids and looks forward to playing and answering their questions.

Colionne joined the ranks of today’s premiere smooth jazz artists with his Top Ten 2003 Album “Just Come On In.” His 2006 release “Keepin’ It Cool” propelled him to the top of the charts once again and the album was also named Top Ten CD of the Year for 2006.

His newest album “No Limits” was released in July 2008, with the first single, the title track “No Limits”, still rising on the charts.

As a guitarist and vocalist, Colionne’s live performances defy categorization. His shows incorporate all the music he loves best and the influences he’s had throughout his career. You are as likely to hear Nick sing the blues or some heartfelt R&B as you are to hear his blazing jazz licks, or even the hint of metal, recalling the beginning of his career as a heavy metal guitarist.

From that diverse musicality comes an incredible live performance that showcases the talent, vocal ability and yes, comedic timing, of this charismatic entertainer. For more information you can visit Nick’s website, nickcolionne.com.
