Colin, a bassist, was invited to form Train in San Francisco in the 1990s by and old friend, Rob Hotchkiss, and singer Pat Monahan. Guitarist Jimmy Stafford, who had formed the short-lived band Apostles with Colin and Hotchkiss, joined along with Scott Underwood.
Train had their first Top 20 hit in 1999 with “Meet Virginia” but they hit the big time in 2001 with “Drops of Jupiter,” which won two Grammy Awards. Later hits included “Hey, Soul Sister,” “If It’s Love,” and “Marry Me.”“Charlie is one incredible bass player, but he was in a lot of pain, and the way he was dealing with it was very painful for everyone else around him,”“They weren’t happy about the choice. They were very clear that I put them in a very tough position,” he said.
