Roots rockin' songstress Reina Collins has been singing for her supper for twenty-plus years. Her voice has been described as "smooth and fiery at the same time like top shelf tequila" and "warm with a color like deeply polished wood." With a repertoire of upbeat originals and covers her style mixes together elements of southern and classic rock alt-country and americana.
Reina is currently promoting her third album Austin To Boston inspired by her 10,000 mile solo road trip in 2007. Produced by Rob Stroup of 8 Ball Studio Austin to Boston features several of Portland’s finest players including Tim Ellis on guitars and Paul Brainard on pedal/lap steel. Portland songwriters Rob Barteletti and Paula Sinclair each contributed a tune.
Reina is a Florida native who discovered an attraction for the west – living on the west coast in the Rocky mountain region and eventually the great Northwest where she now resides in Portland.
“Reina Collins brings a lifetime of living and loving to her big voiced big hearted performance. Whether fronting a down home ensemble or strutting it up with her big rock act or even solo, Collins evokes comparisons to a charismatic chorus of brethren. From the edgy humanity of Patti Smith to the cool western suave of Chris Isaak to the introspective songwriting of Carole King Collins' talent is deep and broad enough to recall all of these while laying claim to a sound that is uniquely her own.” -- Lisa Lepine Music Industry Consultant
