==History with bands==
The first bands that Colla was involved with were Yewess Army and Cottonmouth from Fairfield CA and the Furlanders.〔 After these he joined Sound Hole as a saxophonist. Sound Hole was successful at a local level and became Van Morrison's backing band for a time. Other members of Sound Hole were drummer Bill Gibson and bassist Mario Cipollina. Sound Hole was the major local competition to Huey Lewis' band, Clover. After Sound Hole, Colla was part of Sly and the Family Stone for a few months and recorded with them. In the late 1970s Sound Hole and Clover merged to form a new group, the American Express, which later became known as Huey Lewis and the News. For the News, Colla became saxophonist, rhythm guitarist, backing singer and songwriter.
Colla was drawn to San Francisco from the Sacramento Valley during the 1960s Summer of Love. Like many others, Colla patronized the Avalon Ballroom and the Fillmore Auditorium, eventually pursuing his idols and musical dreams over the Golden Gate Bridge into Marin County.
''"I moved to Marin because that's where all the musicians moved after the San Francisco scene blew up. For a start-up musician in the seventies, it was a hot-bed of musical activity; a great place to be and be heard." He says. "Then I beat the odds. We not only started a great band, but actually became successful at it!"''
'' "Sure, we're the Tony Bennetts of our generation()but it's not such a bad way to go. I can think of worse jobs."
Colla co-wrote hit songs such as "The Heart of Rock & Roll", "If This Is It", "The Power of Love", and "Back in Time". Lewis and Colla co-produced the band's 2001 album ''Plan B''.
