Bio

Originally from Connecticut, Colin has been an in demand professional guitarist in Nashville, TN since 2013. After a long career that traversed experimental rock, country, funk, and the world of working corporate and wedding bands, he launched the Colin Poulton Trio featuring a rotating cast of premier Nashville musicians in 2023 to create a space for improvisation and composition and as a vehicle to explore his Puerto Rican roots through music.

The trio’s sound is inspired by Al Di Meola, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chick Corea, Chet Baker, Gary Burton, Pat Metheny, and Tito Puente. The group released their debut single “The Admiral’s Misadventure” in April 2025 followed by the debut EP “Hot Water” in June 2025. Outside of the trio, he is actively engaged as a working musician, regularly performing with some of the best musicians and singers in Nashville.

Colin endorses and fully enjoys Avedissian Pickups, Backbone Guitar Products, Black 35 Guitars, and Elixir Strings.

“His latest release, Hot Water, is a sleek, sophisticated jazz EP recorded live with his trio. It’s a snapshot of Colin’s creative pivot — from the high-energy Nashville circuit to something more intimate and expressive.” – Lhyme

“Colin Poulton is one of those artists you need to know — thoughtful, unique, and accessible to any listener. He’s special, and this trio is seriously cool.” Music City Muse
