Dana Colley is a saxophonist best known for playing the baritone saxophone in the guitarless, low-rock band Morph*ne. Colley and Mark Sandman met in Boston and formed the band Morph*ne in 1989. The band's unique setup featured a baritone sax, a 2-string bass, and drums. Morph*ne released multiple albums, had a hit video on MTV, and toured extensively. Tragically, in 1999, Mark Sandman suffered a heart attack and passed away while performing on stage. In response to this loss, Colley and the remaining members of Morph*ne formed the 9-piece group known as Orchestra Morph*ne to promote the band's final posthumous album, titled "Night." Colley went on form other successful groups including Twineman in 2001 with Laurie Sargent, and A.K.A.C.O.D. in 2006 with bassist/songwriter Monique Ortiz. Throughout the years, Colley has collaborated with various artists, including the Alloy Orchestra, Lee Renaldo, Dub Apocalypse, Club D’Elf, and Les Claypool. Colley also continues to perform the music of Morph*ne, with the band Vapors of Morph*ne.
