On this episode of Marti’s Music Kitchen, The FUN Music and Food Podcast, Where Anything Can Happen … we have a sassy blend of country blues, jazz and rock with The Colin Trio. They’re taking their sultry, Southern influences into the Kitchen to make the luscious layers of something they call “The Real Deal Tuna Melt.” The rich vocals of songwriter, Colin Hogan, combined with Brian Link on bass, and Cheo Larcombe on drums (and sometimes John Dover on trumpet), led this trio to be named one of Portland’s top ten bands of the year by AXS.com. Is Southern charm what binds this trio together? Does their music influence what they eat? Stay tuned – and let’s find out!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecolintrio Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thecolintrio/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/feistyfo...
