A finalist in Guitar Center’s 2009 King of the Blues competition, South Florida native Collier was brought up in the sacred steel tradition of the House of God Church and built his reputation with uncles and cousins in The Lee Boys, known for their spirited, soul-shaking live performances. Collier has appeared at festivals all around the country with acts ranging from the Allman Brothers and Los Lobos to the Tedeschi-Trucks Band.
