Jeffrey "Jeff" Kollman is an American guitar player from Toledo, Ohio, best known for his work with Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats, Glenn Hughes, UFO offshoot Mogg/Way, progressive rock trio, Cosmosquad, and his 90's progressive metal band, Edwin Dare. He has worked extensively with contemporary jazz keyboardist Lao Tizer, toured with Japanese superstar Eikichi Yazawa, the Alan Parsons Live Project, former Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach, the Michael Schenker Group and UFO, gigged with bassist/vocalist Marco Mendoza and the Danny Seraphine led CTA (California Transit Authority), and is currently a member of Asia feat. John Payne and blues rockers Bleeding Harp.
Inspired by bands including Kiss and Van Halen, and guitarist Randy Rhoads, Kollman began playing guitar at 12 years old. He made his recording debut at 14, after joining Ohio hardcore punk band The Stain. The Stain was featured on 1984's The Sounds of Hollywood #3 compilation and issued a full-length album, I Know the Scam, in 1986, both on L.A.-based label Mystic Records.
In 1986, Kollman formed the metal band VXN with his brother and drummer Tommy Kollman, vocalist Bryce Barnes and bassist Nep Sindel, and self-released a 6-song mini-LP in 1987, followed by the cassette-only full-length album, The Question, in 1988. The band would morph into Edwin Dare with the addition of bassist Kevin Chown and release three albums between 1992 and 1998 and build a strong fan base around parts of the Midwest through extensive touring. During this time, Kollman also released a pair of solo albums. After the demise of Edwin Dare, Kollman and Chown continued to collaborate on various projects, including Crumb Bros., JKB (Jeff Kollman Band) and, most notably, Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats.
