Colin Roy Monette

COLIN ROY MONETTE IS A MAVERICK, ALL AROUND, ELECTRIC GUITAR PLAYER! 

THOUGH HE PLAYS MANY STYLES, HE HAS HIS OWN THING GOING, BUT REALLY HE TAKES ANY “DIFFICULT” PART OF MUSIC AND BRINGS IT ALL BACK TO THE BLUES. COLIN HAS BEEN ON SEVERAL RECORDING SESSIONS, AND HAS BEEN FEATURED AS A SOLOIST & ACCOMPANIST WITH JAZZ SINGERS, ADDING HIS MUSICAL HIGH ART TO FOLK SINGER SONGWRITERS, POP, ROCK, FUNK, SOUL, R&B, JAZZ, BLUES, LATINO, GOSPEL, COUNTRY, AMERICANA, ELECTRIC BLUES FUSION, AND FRENCH-ARABIC RAI DANCE MUSIC.  HIS GUITAR PLAYING IS THOUGHTFUL AND INTELLECTUAL. COLIN HOLDS A MUSIC DEGREE FROM THE FORMER MCNALLY SMITH COLLEGE OF MUSIC IN ST. PAUL, MN.  

BEING A STUDENT OF THE ART OF MUSIC FOR 25 YEARS + IT IS ALSO A PRIVILAGE AND A PLEASURE TO TEACH GUITAR!  HE HAS POSITIVELY INFLUENCED EVERY ONE WHO HEARS HIS MUSIC, AND HAS A CHANCE TO SIT AND TALK MUSIC ESPECIALLY AS IT'S SEEN FROM THE GUITAR. 

COLIN TEACHES THE BASICS OF GUITAR THROUGH MPS (MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC SCHOOLS) CONTINUING EDUCATION FOR ADULTS.

AS A SINGER/SONGWRITER PERFORMER IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN HE HAS BEEN WORKING AS A MUSICIAN WHO DOES WHAT HE LOVES MOST, TO PLAY FREELY AND INSPIRED, WITH GOOD RHYTHM AND SOUND AND FEELING.
