...Rudy Colombini was born and raised in North Beach, the home to the Italian population in the rich cultural mix that is San Francisco.

...This artistic center which has spawned the poetry, novels, and jazz of the Beat Generation, North Beach has been the breeding ground for bands in the vanguard of all styles of music over the decades, not to mention home to the city's famed adult nightclub scene.

...Rudy made his influences come alive in his first band, The Stragglers, playing gigs at the nearby Art Institute and across town at Cesar's Latin Palace. A chance meeting with former Beatle John Lennon inspired Rudy to get serious about songwriting.
He evolved further in the 1980's with Bay Area bands The Twist and The Divine Comedy.

....After having pursued separate, successful career lines, Rudy has put himself back behind the guitar and microphone with new enthusiasm. " I have to be true to myself, who I am, and where I've been." says Rudy." The music I make is the product of the music I love and the things in life that I think are important. I've been lucky, and my plan is to make music for the rest of my life."

... "Under the Impression" reached #30 on the Gavin A.C. radio chart. "Message of Love" was named mp3.com song of the day, resulting in over 2,500 downloads from the artist's homepage in 24 hours. Listen.com reviewed the album "Message of Love" saying, " The common thread in these pop anthems, revved up rockers, and melancholy ballads is Colombini's sincerity. The pristine production of these rock instruments, embellished with horns and church organ, make possible to feel good all day long."
