Marc Colombo gets a rush from performing, but the best part of being in a rock band is that it allows him to show off his creative side.
The Dallas Cowboys right tackle is the lyricist and lead singer for Free Reign, the hard rock band that also features right guard Leonard Davis (bass) and backup offensive lineman Cory Procter (drums).
Free Reign will take the OVERTIME stage Friday night when the Rampage host the Texas Stars at the AT&T Center. Fans can get autographs from band members along the main concourse before the puck drops at 7 p.m.
"My favorite thing is creating our own music," Colombo said in a phone interview. "When you create your own music and are able to show people what you do, that's where I get a rush. I like to write a song, practice, rehearse it and then perform and see what the reaction is from the audience."
Colombo enjoyed discussing the creative process of writing a song.
"I was writing lyrics even before I picked up a guitar," he said. "I know it's weird, but they kind of just come to me. There will be weeks where I don't write, but then certain things happen to me and I try to write about them. Once it comes, it flows. It's kind of cool. I'll be sitting watching TV and a song will come to me. Before I know it, it's on a CD. That whole process is cool."
