Nick Colionne Kicks Off "No Limits Tour" in Toronto - August 1st

 

Chicago, IL. July 10, 2008

Urban Jazz/R&B Koch Recording Artist Nick Colionne will kick off 94.7 The Wave's Hot August Nights Smooth Jazz Series with a special CD Release Party featuring a performance of tunes from his new CD "NO LIMITS" Friday, August 1st at Toronto's Old Mill Inn.

Colionne joined the ranks of today's premier jazz artists with his Top Ten 2003 Album "Just Come On In" that included the mega-hits "High Flyin" and "It's Been Too Long". His most recent CD "Keepin' It Cool" propelled him to the charts once again with the Top Ten hit singles "Always Thinking of You" (which stayed on the R&R charts for an incredible 45 weeks), "Keepin' It Cool" and "If You Ask Me". "Keepin' It Cool" was also named Top Ten CD of the Year for 2006.

His new CD "NO LIMITS" on the prestigious KOCH Records label was just released this week, with the first single, the title track "NO LIMITS" already climbing the charts!

Colionne titled his new project "NO LIMITS" to describe where he is in terms of his music saying "the project "NO LIMITS" is my latest adventure. I call it an adventure because I wanted to explore doing some different things with my music and not limit myself to one genre or style of playing". Colionne teamed up with two Grammy-award winning writers for the CD: Jim Peterik who wrote "The Eye Of The Tiger", the theme from the film "Rocky", and Paul Richmond who wrote "Shining Star" for the Manhattans.

As a guitarist and vocalist, Colionne's live performances defy categorization. His shows incorporate all the music he loves best and the influences he's had throughout his career. You are as likely to hear Nick sing the blues as you are to hear his blazing jazz licks, or even the hint of metal, recalling the beginning of his career as a heavy metal guitarist. He has taken that diverse musicality and run with it on "NO LIMITS".
