PROMINENT SOUL / JAZZ / R&B GUITARIST & VOCALIST NICK COLIONNE TO HOST 2009 SEABREEZE JAZZ FESTIVAL ON FLORIDA'S EMERALD COAST

Chicago, IL February 24, 2009..... KOCH Records Recording Artist Nick Colionne will host the Annual Resort Quest Seabreeze Jazz Festival April 16th-19th in a new location, Pier Park, the most exciting new lifestyle center on the Gulf Coast, in Panama City Beach, Florida. The festival is produced by Carter Broadcasting (WSBZ 106.3 FM The Seabreeze) and is considered to be one of the nation's premier music festivals.

The 2009 Seabreeze Jazz Festival will include headline performances by some of the biggest names in the genre including Colionne, Boney James, Wayman Tisdale, Will Downing, Warren Hill, Eric Darius, Joyce Cooling, Alex Bugnon and many more. Colionne will also host the Festival's All Star Jam, guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser.

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 or some heartfelt R&B as you are to hear his blazing guitar licks, or even the hint of metal, recalling the beginning of his career as a heavy metal guitarist. From that diverse musicality comes an incredible live performance that showcases the talent, vocal ability and yes, comedic timing, of this charismatic entertainer.
