Class of 1992 - Colby Logan


Colby Logan recalls fondly, before graduating DHS in 1992, a proverbial line from a Robert Frost poem read by one of his favorite English teachers: Two roads diverged in a wood, And I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.  Colby never forgot these profound words and never truly understood the impact of applying the philosophy to his life for that matter until recently.

After graduating from Texas A&M in 1997 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, Colby ventured into the world of software consulting, taking a job with Price Waterhouse to travel the country building business software and learning the ins and outs of the business consulting world. With some solid skills under his belt, he left his Texas home-base of Houston and moved out to the west coast to San Francisco to try his hand at independent consulting in the booming dot-com industry in late 1999.  A year and a half into his journey on the west coast, Colby found himself being pulled in a direction that he never expected; his love for music. "Music has always been a huge part of my life...from friends and family gatherings to school and church functions...but I never thought about making a career out of it and focusing all my energy towards my passion for singing and performing...now I wouldn't think of doing anything else."

After making the decision to leave the corporate world and commit his life to music, Colby moved back to Duncanville in mid 2002 to begin his journey as a full-time musician. Three years later to the present, after touring and headlining venues in just about every major city in Texas with his band, Anytown, Colby has embarked on a solo career. Colby describes the music he creates as "timeless"; a little mix of folk, country, and pop with big vocal harmonies and all acoustic instruments...all the elements of the music and artists that inspired him growing up from James Taylor to Billy Joel to Crosby Stills Nash to The Eagles.

Colby recites the events of his recent DHS 10 year class reunion and the great friendships that were rekindled.  "After seeing so many great friends at the reunion, I was reminded of the awesome experiences that I had at DHS and with all of my friends from there.  I learned so much, had a ton of great teachers, and had a lot of good experiences with my DHS friends...there won't ever be another time like that in my life, so I'm glad that I can look fondly on my memories from my time there".

Colby now resides in old-town Plano and plays locally at Poor David's Pub, Cretia's, The Flying Saucer and many other venues around DFW and the state.  He has a new full-length album coming out on November 25th (day after Thanksgiving).  You can find out more about his ventures at http://www.colbylogan.com.
