Episode Details

Born and raised in Portland, Maine in the early 1960s, Colley's parents were both a teacher and illustrator. With a household built on education and creative influences, Colley was already in motion to become an artist of some sort. Eventually relocating to Hanson, Massachuetts, Colley began to learn the clarinet and saxophone throughout his elementary school days. As college began to roll around Colley switched between focuses and majors before deciding that music was it. Meeting locals such as Three Colors, the band would soon relocate to England to record their next album before the band decided to break up. It was then Colley met his future bandmate and dear friend Mark Sandman and together they would go on to form one of the most influential bands of the 1990's, Morphine. After Sandman's devistating passing in '99, Colley and others went on to form Twinemen, Orchestra Morphine and Vapors Of Morphine in order to keep the music and spirit alive. Enjoy!
