Colin (vocals, guitar) is has been living in Wisconsin for most of his life. He really enjoys playing all sorts of music, and he expands his style according to whichever group he’s playing with.

Playing with Fly Casual has been a great time and a good challenge, and he feels really lucky to be working with such a fine group of people.

Paul

Paul plays bass and sings on quite a number of songs where we have no idea how he’s keeping his coordination! Paul is an active bass player for productions at La Crosse Community Theater as plays often in jazz combos. Paul is extremely knowledgeable about music and musicians. In addition, that background and creating the right vibe is what goes into Paul’s work in making our fantastic set lists!
