Colin Tench best known for his work with Corvus Stone to releases new album “Hair in a G-String (Unfinished but Sweet)” as a solo album under the name Colin Tench Project
Hair in a G-String (Unfinished but Sweet) is available for pre-order and the albums release date is November 30th
According to Tench
“Hair in a G-String” could be labeled Prog before there was Prog. Split this into the written piece “Hair in a G-String” (about 46 minutes) & “Songs not in G” (About 36 minutes) and you’d have a prog album and a melodic rock album I guess. We didn’t do that. We mixed it up. See it as musical interludes between the main action.

Coalition are a “transatlantic” Prog Band
Coalition last released a CD album in 2011. Since then there has been a line-up change, with Blake Carpenter (The Minstrels Ghost, Voice of The Enslaved) writing the lyrics and providing all the vocals and Colin Tench (Corvus Stone, CTP) providing his unique style of guitars. It’s been a long time coming but this album is definitely worth the wait….!!!!
