About "Rising Up": This song was selected for use on the "Musicians For Boston Strong" CD, produced by Boston's Emerson College, and, as a whole, the CD raised a great deal of money for the families and survivors. This song was produced at Emerson College Recording Studios. Colette also performed this song for events on Boston Common, as well as the "Rising Up" event hosted by Boston's former, famous "Johnny D's" venue in Davis Square.

Singing in support

navy tradition- command performance

Colette writes and performs original productions that salute Veterans & Old Time Radio.

Steel Beach BBQ was first performed on the Fan-tail of the USS Massachusetts, as a Battleship Cove sponsored fundraiser for that floating Museum.

Using a special Ship-to-Shore radio-system, Colette linked in entertainment from Hollywood CA.- 1942, so the LIVE Audience became part of a real Old Time Radio Show featuring The Harry James Orchestra, Colette as the "Lost Andrew Sister", and Gary Cooper even did the sports. Plenty of LIVE audience participation too.

Great fun, with history, for all ages!

Community concerts

Libraries & public venues

This cute wishing well was designed and built by Colette to enhance The Bacon Free Public Library, Natick, Summer Concert Series.

Each week Colette brought the wishing well, coins, props, flowers, and free bubbles, so that audiences could play along!

Week 1 was all about what one can learn from nature.

Week 2 explored the real potential of making wishes.

Week 3 encouraged creativity and folklore where the audience added to "The Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures."

Bring Colette's audience-centered attention to your hometown. She travels!

About "Penny In The Pond"

Did you know that Old Ironsides, the famous Ship U.S.S. Constitution was saved from demolition by children collecting pennies? This got Colette thinking. If you're going to make wishes, you'd better be sure to do the follow-up work too!

Colette's shows are great for all ages.

Defining views

creating settings, in song

Colette O'Connor can design all-original performances centered on themes.

When Espresso Yourself Coffee House, in Medfield, MA. presented her in concert, the theme was "Messengers." Colette enchanted the audience with original stories and songs from life; melded with history, folklore- her feature illustrated how each of our lives has interconnecting themes, and each of us shares, and brings, messages that enrich the world.

Song featured here "I Think I Am"

Written in nature and with gratitude for all the people who influenced her life, seen and unseen.

I think i am: music

NEW Album Under Construction

Website Exclusive!

Creating New Music. Thank goodness.

The next album, Double Down, is under construction. Colette is in the studio from June through October getting what may be her final album set for 2021 release.

The songs all stem from Defiant-Acoustic Soul & Blues, with some country/rock added, for good measure.

For example, Put Another Nail In, is a personal mantra to encourage courage through difficulties and keeping your sense of self.

About "Put Another Nail In"

Colette lost her dad in 2020. He was a big influence on her life, and the reason she connected with the guitar.

THIS song was mentioned on WGBH's Takeaway topic "Songs That Helped Us Through 2020" & that's some pretty-good music news that also proves that music helps heal.
