Colin Cripps - guitar
 |
Colin became a member
of the band Crash Vegas in 1988, about six months after the band was
started. Crash Vegas was eventually signed to Blue Rodeo's label Risque
Disque, on which they released their debut album Red Earth (1990). The
album went on to sell gold.
In
1992 they signed a deal with American Polygram, on which they released their
second album Stone (1993). Two years later the band had become a duo with
Colin and singer Michelle McAdorey. They got a new record deal with Sony, and
released their final album Aurora (1995).
In 1996, Crash Vegas
split up and Colin joined the band Junkhouse. He produced, played guitar
and co-wrote the ten songs on the album Fuzz (1997).
Colin
contributed with guitar to the Blue Rodeo album Tremolo, and he also
co-wrote one of the songs on the album. He became a member of and toured with
the Jim Cuddy Band, and contributed to Cuddy's solo album All In Time
(1998). He has also produced two of Oh Susannah's albums; Sleepy
Little Sailor (2001) and Oh Susannah (2003). Colin's work has
appeared on more than 30 albums and in film and television.
Colin left the band in 2008. |
