Colleen (Boss Mama) Myhre has soul, and she pours it into every note. With complete control of her voice, “Colleen (Boss Mama) Myhre has soul, and she pours it into every note. “- Tony Peterson – Social Animals. With complete control of her voice, Colleen takes listeners on an emotional ride from smooth country heartbreak to foot stomping Americana blues and beyond. Her songwriting ranges from honest emotion and earthly imagery to the raucousness of horses, strippers, and whiskey. Myhre is a true American singer/songwriter grounded in her passion of soulful and heartfelt music.

Written by her and her husband and recorded in the living room of their rural Northern Minnesota landscape, her first album Rivers Run Dry, is a testament to the hard work and dues she has paid performing in local honky-tonks and taverns.
In 2011 Myhre released Ride of My Life. "Part Lucinda Williams and part Charlie Parr, Colleen Myhre's gritty songwriting is as rawhide tough as it is genuine. On stage, her rustic personality can entertain both a honky tonk’s hard boiled regulars and tranquil coffee house crowds alike. Colleen Myhre has a low, full voice that is similar in timbre to Lucinda Williams.” – Duluth News Tribune
Colleen's newly released album "Boss Mama" (August, 2019) has been hitting the airwaves all around the northland. With a full 2020 summer of music festivals and street shows planned, Covid 19 threw a curveball into every artist's life. Colleen became more dedicated in following her passion. The “Boss Mama” solicited the skills and talents of many other musicians. She affectionately named the collaboration, The Jebberhooch, who play in diverse and openhearted venues. She incessantly refines her performances as she forges new musical relationships in laboring to the creation of her 4 album.
Myhre possesses the ability to hypnotize listeners by creating sympathy between her voice and guitar that resonates a true American and local spirit. She not only hopes that you appreciate her music, but that you strive to learn about her life, her passion and love of music.
