Colin Easthope

Colin Easthope fills the room with warm harmonic tones and a surprising sincerity. His lyrics are a shoulder to lean on for everyone who’s ever had their heart stomped on, or endured a long-distance relationship. Colin strives to write music that time will never forget. He draws inspiration from artists like Ryan Adams, Royal Wood, and Bob Dylan, delivering guitar-driven pop gems, with an alt-country aesthetic.

Colin has performed as part of Via Rail’s Performers On Board program three times, entertaining passengers en route across the country. He is making a name for himself in BC’s festival circuit, playing Horsefly BC’s Arts on the Fly, The Cortes Island Music Festival, and The Vancouver International Jazz Festival. As an accompanist, Colin has opened for acts like Gregory Alan Isakov and Jurassic Five’s Chali 2na. Whether an intimate train car, or a raucous outdoor festival, Colin is at home on the stage.

Colin has collaborated in-studio and on-stage with an eclectic mix of artists. He has graced the stage with Vancouver afrobeat ensemble Miami Device, and attended the Peak Performance Project’s 2011 Bootcamp with soul songstress Ashleigh Eymann.

In addition to consistent community and college radio airplay, Colin has been featured on CBC Radio One programs All Points West and Day Break.
