Colin Lazarski Quartet at Old Hilliardfest 2016

Colin Lazarski began playing guitar at the tender age of 10, was performing publicly at 12, and went on to play in numerous jazz and blues bands throughout his high school and college years.

After studying at Capital University under local jazz great Stan Smith, Colin became a professional musician in and around central Ohio. His energy, passion and natural sense of rhythm made him a perfect fit for Arnett Howard’s Creole Funk Band, with whom he traveled extensively, playing over 300 engagements in a year and a half. Colin performs both as a leader and a sideman and can be seen around town performing with other artists such as Dave Powers, Tony Monaco, Vaughn Weister’s Famous Jazz Orchestra, the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, Dick Mackey, the New Remnants Dance Orchestra and his own jazz quartet.

The Colin Lazarski Quartet featuring Bryan Olsheski will perform at #OHF2016. Catch them on the #Americana #RootsStage, Saturday, September 10th at 12:30 p.m.
