Songs like "Just came Back”" Five Long Years", "Voodoo Thing", "Keep on Loving me Baby", “Into the Mystic", "Man’s Gotta Be a Stone", and several more have become household favorites for thousands of people across this country.

It won him his very first Juno and an opening spot-on tour with none other than Keith Richards. His second album, Sudden Stop, featured the hit, "Just Came back”, which reached #3 on the US radio charts and earned him the Juno award for Single of the Year. Colin was next credited with launching the swing revival, thanks to his wildly popular Little Big Band, which has released four successful albums to date.
