Kollman recently took part in an intensive Parsons-led weekend workshop at Hybrid Studios in Santa Ana, CA, alongside Brooks and session greats Vinnie Colaiuta (Frank Zappa, Jeff Beck, Megadeth) and Nathan East (Eric Clapton, Toto, Joe Satriani) on drums and bass, respectively, accompanied by a full symphony orchestra. The star-studded ensemble tracked a prog rock version of the song “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”, which is set to appear on Parsons’ upcoming studio album.

On the release front, Kollman can be heard on the eponymous debut album by Dukes Of The Orient, contributing guitars on "Strange Days”, "Seasons Will Change" and "Give Another Reason". The video for "Strange Days" can be viewed below:

Kollman has also tracked with his side project, L.A. blues rockers Bleeding Harp; the group’s sophomore album, Truth, features a guest vocal appearance by none other than Dug Pinnick (King's X, KXM) on a cover of the Allman Brothers classic “Whipping Post”, a tribute to the late Gregg Allman. The album is available now as a digital download on iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby and other outlets
