Colter Wall

HISTORY WITH BILLY BOB’S: 

ABOUT COLTER WALL: 

Colter Wall is a Canadian singer-songwriter with a deep and knowing voice that you wouldn’t expect of a man who’s not yet 24 years old. He started learning guitar at the age of 13, playing the music of rock bands such as AC/DC, Black Sabbath, and Led Zeppelin. Later he became interested in old blues artists and then started to listen to folk music. As a folk singer, Wall places equal importance on crafting songs as well as carrying older songs into the present day. “To me, a folk singer is somebody who sings folk songs—and it’s also someone who is writing their own music while taking something from traditional folk songs. It’s somebody who sings those songs and is aware of passing down the traditions, whether it’s from their own version of the song or taking those old tunes and reinventing them.”
