Episode 115: Simon Collins

<p>In my opinion, not enough people know about the excellent music career of Simon Collins. The son of Genesis legend Phil Collins, Simon is a talented musician and songwriter in his own right, both collaboratively and as a solo artist. I spoke with Simon about his musical origin story, going on Genesis tours as a child, the rise and fall of the outstanding progressive rock band Sound of Contact, his recent eMolecule collaboration with Kelly Nordstrom, and my favorite of his solo works: U-Catastrophe, which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. Big thanks to Simon for his time. </p> <p>Please hit the like button and/or leave a rating/review wherever you consume this podcast.
