the CO

Nashville’s premier pop/rock outfit The CO is bringing honesty, passion, hope, and inspiration to a mainstream audience. In a landscape where popular music is largely marginalized to songs about love won and lost or only appropriate in a dance club or Zumba class, The CO hits hard and cuts right to the heart with music that matters. The band, consisting of the soaring lead vocals of Collin Brace, the melodic keys and plaintive counter harmonies of writing partner Troy Akers, and the passionate and anthemic drumming of Nate Fleming, is at the forefront of the emerging, epic “Nashville Sound.” With a powerful live show combining elements of programing, with lush, organic orchestrations, their mission as a band and as individuals is to unify people through music; to bring people together to uplift themselves and each other. Their fan-base, having affectionately dubbed themselves as COhorts, spreads out all over the world with strongholds in Europe, Australia, and beyond. With youtube videos garnering views in the millions and numerous television placements landed in rapid succession in 2012, the band’s reach is growing exponentially day by day as fans connect with music that asks them to reach inside themselves while reaching out to the world around them, even in the most difficult times. In short, the music of The CO isn’t what you listen to when you’re sipping champagne at the top of the Empire State building; it’s the music that gets you there. The CO is: Collin Brace (Lead Vox) / Troy Akers (Keys & Vox) / Nate Fleming (Drums) / Alex Edwards (Guitar) http://www.thecomusic.com
