Indie - Folk - rock - pop - roots





Collide brings together cello and guitar, rock and folk, rural and urban, craftsmanship and creativity for a sound that is inviting, thoughtful, and fun.


Formed in 2019 by Washington, DC singer/songwriter Catherine Messina Pajic and California-bred musician Daniel Ogden, Collide lands at the intersection of indie, folk, rock, and pop. Performing and composing since college, Catherine had put her artistic inclinations on hold to raise a family. Then she met Daniel - a rhythm and bass guitarist, drummer, and cellist, who has played in cover bands and worship groups for decades.


Together, they appear regularly at local pubs, cafes, private parties, and farmers markets, offering a wide range of crowd favorites from the 60s to today, along with original ballads and songs you can dance to.

FUND OUR MUSIC



People ask us all the time, "How can we access your music?" Our goal for 2023 is to record an EP of original songs. This will allow us to upload tracks to our website and streaming services, and to offer actual CDs with cool artwork - for those who still have something to play them on.

Please help us reach our goal.
