Follow on Google News | Clark Colborn Releases Two Videos to Promote New EPClark Colborn has released two promotional videos, each focused on one song from his new EP. The new EP will be titled “Frank Made Me Do It” and is a tribute to Frank Zappa and his music.
By: Gary Hill PR Clark Colborn is an American rock guitarist, composer and recording artist. Born and raised not far from Chicago, Illinois, he has been a performing musician most of his life. Not following the beaten path is in his nature, and it shows in his guitar playing and his song writing. His adventurous and innovative disposition has made it hard to pigeon-hole his genre, yet his unique sound has garnered him fans of every variety. Colborn spent years on the stages of roadhouses & rock venues throughout the Midwest with bands such as Cheater, Blackjack, and Sleight of Hand, before stepping fully into the spotlight as a solo artist. Over the years Colborn has gotten some great reviews. His first album had critics saying things like "Listening to the CD takes you back to the days when Randy Rhodes and Eddie Van Halen turned playing guitar into an art form” (Gregory Johnson of Beetcafe.com) When reviewing his second album at Prognaut.com Chris Erbeck said, “Clark's guitar prowess is evident. The man plays guitar like a journeyman. I could hear echoes of the heavier side of 70's prog,a thread moving throughout that makes me think of Martin Barre on "Thick as A Brick".” At Wormwood Chronicles, Doctor Abner Mality said, “Clark Colborn plays guitar. That simple statement sums up a lot. In fact, Clark doesn't merely play guitar, he attacks it, he soothes it, he coaxes all manner of sounds from it. The guy is a guitar virtuoso, but much more tasteful than a mere ‘shredder’ Clark Colborn says this about Zappa: “Frank Zappa's total musical fearlessness, sense of humor, and sense of absurdity totally captivated me when I was a teenager, and over the years he has been an influence on me in so many ways that it is hard to describe.” Colborn goes on to say, “I've never tried to be a clone of Frank or to write music that sounded like him. I have always tried to be me, and just let the principles Frank embraced guide me at times when I felt lost. This has led to musical compositions that didn’t really fit with most of what I do as a solo artist stylistically.” For more information you can check out Clark Colborn on the web at clarkplaysguitar.com and facebook.com/ End
