Colleen combines music and activism, recognizing the guitarra armada or 'armed guitar' concept of Latin American troubadours where the guitar and voice are mightier than the gun and where poetry and melody intermingle to creative multiple layers of sound and meaning. Her recordings include About Time, Wideland, Sing it Down: Songs to Close the SOA, and Inhabited Woman.

“Ever since childhood Colleen has been imbued with a voice that haunts with its clarity and range, and an eye that roams the globe in search of contradiction and hope.” Ed Griffin-Nolan, Syracuse New Times

Pete Seeger says of her "Joe Hill would be proud. Great singer and organizer at the same time."

Colleen will perform with her band Some Guys who are: the ephemeral beat of Dave Pandori on percussion, the over the top creative and expressive saxophone and native triple flute of Jamie Yaman, and Mike Brandt- virtuoso bassist and ‘everything you need to know about trains’ encyclopedia.
