ABOUT

I am singer Shay Collins.
I want a Band!! Will anyone play with me??


Studio, live gigs, private events, special occasions, large or small venues, full power or acoustic, available for full band live musicians, back up or tracks.
SERIOUS musician!!
NO DRUGS no drama. I want to make good music. Originals, covers or both.
Seasoned professional experienced musician.I wish to god with all my heart and soul I could play an instrument. But due to my learning disabilities and physical /mental limitations I will never have those capabilities, despite a lifetime of trying.
So alas without musicians my dreams of singing go unfulfilled.

I KNOW the value of a good band and of good musicians because I literally cannot do it without them.

Influences

I was influenced and mentored by my Uncle "Mother" RAY COLLINS of the 70's hit band "Mothers of Invention" w/Frank Zappa. I inherited his ability to sing almost ANYTHING and to sing with my whole heart HONESTLY and from my soul. I have lived with ALL music being the focal point of my life. My Uncle Ray taught me Above ALL THINGS...BE HONEST in Everything you do...Including your talents! I learn quickly and can adapt to anything new.
