ABOUT THE ARTIST
Colter Wall
Swift Current, SK, Canada
After two years of relentless touring, Colter Wall wanted to make an album about home. Drawing on the stories of Saskatchewan, Canada, the young songwriter's corner of the world take shape throughout his second album, "Songs of the Plains." Wall captures the spaciousness of the Canadian plains by relying on minimal production and his resonant baritone, which he's strengthened into a mighty instrument in its own right. It's a deep and knowing voice you wouldn't expect from a man who's not yet 28 years old. As a folksinger, Wall places equal importance on crafting songs as wall as carrying older songs into the present day.
