The Coltrane Incident

About Me

Woody and Steve met while attending the Berklee College of Music, and have been musical and writing partners since. Heath has been a friend and musical cohert since prior to his Army tour.Our musical style is a little hard to pin down. Obviously we are a Rock band, but we incorporate Jazz, Blues, Pop and even a little Classical influence into a blend we call Infused Retro Rock.We love to perform live, but are equally at home in the recording studio. Woody and Steve each have 24 track home studios, and are constantly honing their songwriting and recording skills.Woody is an avid guitar collector with an eye towards the vintage side. On any gig he may sport an old Tele, Strat, Paul, Gretsch, Martin, Lap Steel or even Mandolin. Choice in amps? . . . CARR (Mercury) & FENDER (Vibro King). TUBES RULE!!!Steve plays a vintage Rick 4001 through an Ampeg SVT.Heath currently is abusing a Pork Pie Kit, and is always in search of that BIG VINTAGE TONE!!!The band name? Well, we have a dog named in honor of the great sax master, John Coltrane. Who, during a playful game of catch, happened to knock over a mic stand into a very expensive guitar. Hence, The Coltrane Incident.We are just wrapping up a new 6 song EP recorded at The Red Room Recording Studio. It will be available for purchase soon. Until then enjoy the samples and come see us live!!!
