Colter Wall Has Shared Live Performances of Modern Classics 'Cowpoke' and 'Caroline' and We've Fallen In Love All Over Again

They aren't many doing it better today than Colter Wall.

Like many, we're cult fans here at Holler of the Canadian country poet and wrangler, and any opportunity to experience him live, something that comes few and far between, is a blessing that we cherish.

Luckily, Colter is treating us to recorded performances from his three shows at Mission Ballroom in Denver, CO back in January, as part of the 2024 Little Songs Tour, and boy are we bawling from the very idea of it.

While Wall is set to release a full collection of live videos to his own YouTube channel from the shows this Friday (November 1), he's gone ahead and shared a solo performance of his Imaginary Appalachia classic 'Caroline' and a full-band rendition of the beloved Western Swing and Waltzes number 'Cowpoke'.

"This is one of the first songs I ever wrote" Wall mentions as he introduces the crowd to a song they need no hymn sheet for. "It would've been back around 2015 or so, god, nearly I guess ten years ago, just about".

"It was on my first EP, and it's my favourite song from that thing" Wall concludes, as he begins to pluck the familiar notes of the melancholic beauty 'Caroline'.

It's a gorgeous rendition, the crowd gently and respectfully singing along with Wall as his deep baritone fills the capacity room.

For the blissful waltz of 'Cowpoke', Wall is joined by revered Pedal Steel guitarist Muskrat Jones (be sure to also check out his incredible talents on display with Emily Nenni for the Holler Nashville Sessions), Patrick Lyons (who we had the pleasure of speaking to about Little Songs back in August 2023), on telecaster, baritone guitar, mandolin and dobro, Russell Patterson drums, Jake Groves on harmonica and Jason Simpson on the bass.

Colter is treating us to a rather lengthy tour this year, with his end of year filled with dates across the States. In the new year, Wall will join Elle King and Ryman Bingham and The Texas Gentleman to play the official after party of the San Diego Rodeo.
