This podcast is an invitation to discover the flavor, the colors, and the texture the authors, artists, and creatives give to The Salt City, Syracuse. The city is a regional hub for entertainment and cultural expressions of all kinds, and this show will spotlight the creative minds that make a difference in our community with their performances, creations, and actions.
Today, in our first episode, I'm joined by Colin Aberdeen, a bluesman who has perfected his craft over the last couple of decades, touring nationally and playing with several Grammy Award-winning artists. Colin played with numerous bands, including The Barking Loungers and the Westcott Jug Suckers; he has released multiple albums with Los Blancos in their 15 years as a touring band and has been featured as a guest musician for many others.
Our conversation delves into Colin's upbringing, his relationship with music during his childhood and early teen years, his self-teaching journey into writing wax poetic on social media, and his experiences playing virtually during the pandemic. We also talk about Colin's family, his relationship with his parents, and the life values he got from them.
For our conversation at The 443 Social Club & Lounge, kindly lent by Jules from 443, Colin came prepared with his 1936 National Trojan Resophonic guitar to gift us with his sweet waltz: Oh, Margaret River.
Hop on and join me on this first episode of Front Row Syracuse and get to know better this fantastic father, musician, and poet.
