As a touring musician for 50 years, the RIDE ON tour marks the beginning of Colin's second half century of touring! Linden’s tale is the stuff of legend, the kind told in the Coen brothers’ O Brother Where Art Thou or Inside Llewyn Davis, both of which featured his guitar playing on the soundtracks. As a singer/guitarist, he’s accompanied everyone from Bruce Cockburn to Bob Dylan, Greg Allman, Rihannon Giddens, Pistol Annies, John Prine and more. Along the way, Linden played on over 500 albums and produced 140, including his first-ever Grammy in 2020. He has also nabbed a staggering 25 Juno Award nominations and nine wins. Linden’s latest solo album, bLOW, is his 14th in 40 years, but first electric blues release.
“Roots music and blues do speak to a lot of people right now,” acknowledges Linden. “Much of the healing and release you get from listening to this music, the power and form of expression, has shown itself to be so vital in these times. It feels timeless because it’s such a raw nerve.”
