About Colleen Eccleston

Victoria's Colleen Eccleston packs an explosive voice and an extraordinary sense of performance. She is rock singer, traditional folk singer and driving rhythm guitarist all in one. Her original songs reflect the deep and interesting world she sees around her and she is a well of great stories from her life of adventure growing up across Canada. She is all about melody and rhythm, word play and humour, and it is a rare and wonderful experience to see this woman doing what she is so obviously meant to do. Her emotional range is riveting and her voice will leave you breathless. Her love of life nothing short of contagious!

Still very much a member of The Ecclestons, Colleen has also performed and recorded extensively as a solo artist. She has fronted a rock band, been actively an environmentalist and peace activist, she has a degree in acting and is a rock and roll and songwriting instructor. She has also toured with James Keelaghan, Under the Moss, Rattle in the Dash, Grand Union, Sandy Scofield and Jenny Allen as the SAE band and Valdy to name a few.
