CC Coletti is known worldwide for her rocking duets and background vocals with rock and roll legend, Meat Loaf and his Neverland Express World Tours. She has been featured on three of Meat Loaf's DVD's, Bat Out Of Hell Live With The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Three Bats Live, and a Documentary, In Search of Paradise. Her voice can be heard on the Bat Out Of Hell 3 album and Meat Loaf's soon to be released CD "Hand Cool Teddy Bear 4" produce by Rob Cavallo. CC was also featured as the opening act for Meat Loaf's European tour in 2007. She started an acoustic duo with her brother at the age of 18 and after years of playing the local NJ Club Scene, she met her future husband, TJ Jablonksi, a bass player, and they went on to form a cover band "CC & Crew". Through the 10 years of playing covers with CC & Crew, she toyed with the idea of writing originals and recording, but the band and a full time day job took up most of her time.

While currently off tour, CC spends most of her time writing and recording her own music at Anthony Krizan's Sonic Boom Studio, in Raritan, N.J. The musically genius pairing of CC Coletti and Anthony Krizan began shortly after CC returned hom from her first tour with Meat Loaf. CC received a call from Tom Marshall, lyricist for the iconic jam band Phish, asking her to join his new project, Amfbian, where Krizan was lead guitarist. After years of playing with Amfbian, CC and Anthony forged an unbreakable bond and began work on their own CD, which would soon be known as Woodstock Lane.

Anthony Krizan, CC's well respected guitaraist/prodcuer and right hand man, first gained notoriety in the 90's as a member of the Spin Doctors. Anthony's love for music began at 8 years old, playing drums. By the time he reached 11, he was booking gigs and playing shows. When in 1994, he was approached to audition for the Spin Doctors; he was already a local celebrity and an accomplished producer in his own right. Joining the Spin Doctors, he toured with the iconic Rolling Stones. You can hear him on You Gotta Believe in Something (featuring songs he co-wrote) and Spin Doctors: Just Go Ahead Now: A Retrospective. They also recorded a track for the 90's blockbuster film, "Space Jam." He and Chris Barron also wrote Miss America for Howard Stern.

Anthony's collaborations didn't end with the Spin Doctors. He's written for Lenny Kravitz (Stand By My Woman), John Waite (When You Were Mine, Temple Bar, Hard Way, Downtown:Journey of A Heart) and Amfibian (Skip The Goodbyes), to name a few. He's toured and performed with Noel Redding (of the Jimi Hendrix Experience) until his death in 2003. His Soni Boom Studio in Raritan, NJ is always abuzz with the newest up and coming musicians, and under his production, soon to be a musical powerhouse.
