Jared Colinger

Growing up in Tennessee was a challenge for multi-instrumentalist Jared Colinger, but musicians like Elvis Costello, Squeeze, and Starflyer 59 have helped give him a unique take on both music and life. His career got a kick start in mid 2006 when Jared had the chance to work with Frank Lenz (Headphones / Starflyer 59) on his debut release (the Favourite Hallucination EP), full of whimsy and indie pop orchestration this album garnered favorable reviews nationwide. To support the release Jared made his first trip out west to perform at TOMFest followed by a short California tour. Coming off of the successful tour Jared entered into the studio again, this time with Jason Martin (Starflyer 59 / The Brothers Martin) to record a more guitar driven album (the Light From A Dying Star EP); showing a focused improvement over his previous release, this album builds off awkward situations and confusing relationships in a manner everyone can relate to. In early 2007 Jared moved to Oregon and has begun touring the West Coast on a regular basis, and has even created a limited edition EP (The Summer EP) to give away to his fans for FREE this tour season.
