Cliff Colón
Colón grew up in the Tacoma, Washington area and immediately took an interest in studying jazz. During his early musical development, Colón began performing in various church groups, which ended up being a heavy influence in the gospel and soul aspects of his playing. During his early 20′s, Colon was a regular performer in the greater Seattle area jazz and fusion scene. After experimenting with Drum N Bass and Jungle genres, Colón and his now wife, vocalist Sommer Stockinger, formed a 10-piece 70′s funk band named Players Club which features the areas premier R&B musicians. This submersion into funk and R&B further expanded Colón’s resume of musical influences, which were starting to become very eclectic and well rounded.
Now in his 30′s, Cliff Colón is an in demand band leader, sideman, studio recording artist, educator, arranger in all aspects the Western Washington music scene. He has performed with many of the top bands, of any genre, in the local music scene and has also performed with numerous national acts.
