Running around the Lone Star State.
Colter Wall is hitting the road in January for a handful of tour dates around Texas.
It’s not a secret that when the Canada native hits the road, it’s going to be something special. The “Little Songs” singer does not tour often, making the demand for his tickets insane when he takes some time away from pushing cattle to sing for fans.
Colter Wall just announced a limited run of shows in Texas during January of 2026. Officially dubbed the ‘Hardcore Country Tunes’ tour, Colter Wall and the Scary Prairie Boys will be heading all around the Lone Star State. And they are bringing along a fine Texan as their supporting act.
Hailing from West Texas, Hayden Redwine will be accompanying Colter Wall on this tour.
“Tejas shows with our buddy Hayden Redwine. Presale starts September 23. Signup at ColterWall.com”
And it appears that fans might have some new Colter Wall tunes to listen to by the time the tour comes around. If you recall, back in December, the Canadian told Dale Brisby in a rare media appearance on the Rodeo Time podcast that new music was coming out this summer.
“I don’t know when it will be out. Probably… I would guess, usually they want to shoot for or put that stuff out around July or August. Hopefully this (2025) year we’ll get it mixed and out into the world. New record, all original songs (with) one cover on there.”
At the time of the podcast, the “Honky Tonk Nighthawk” singer said that they had yet to name it, but he happily explained the inspiration behind the collection of music they put together:
“I don’t know what it’s called. I kind of just wanted to make a straight… it’s just a love letter to country music. Really it’s just a bunch of sad drinking songs mostly. I just wanted to make a record that sounded like Merle Haggard and the Strangers—late 60s into the early 70s.
Honestly, to me, that’s where country music peaked. That’s my favorite stuff to listen to, and I think that was the best band in country music. I wanted to make a record that reminded me of that. So that’s what we did… or tried to (do) anyways.”
Now that it’s nearing the end of August, it seems like that’s clearly been delayed. However, it shouldn’t come as a massive surprise given that 2025 has seemingly been a trying year for Wall, highlighted by the fact that he cancelled his February and March shows to October due to “personal reasons” regarding his mental and physical health.
However, new music is on the horizon as Wall is teasing what he’s got in the pipeline. Colter Wall initially shared a Merle Haggard-inspired melody, tagging the famed RCA Studio A in Nashville. Later preview of a new single, seemingly titled “1,800 Miles From Music Row, dogging on the Nashville machine.
It’s pretty well-established that Wall isn’t a huge fan of Music City’s industry infrastructure, and based on the lyrics previewed in this clip, it appears that those thoughts have not changed much:
“I don’t know what you think you’ve been toldIf I ever was for sale, I never soldIt’s short on flashing lights and rhinestone clothes1,800 miles from Music RowIt’s Tyson songs on the fiddle and guitarAnd the pedal steel man drives a real mean barYou won’t hear it on your radioIt’s 1,800 miles from Music Row”
Keeping right in line with the previewed lyrics, Wall shared in the caption that his team wanted to invest in some advertising for his music, suggesting he do a billboard.
In true Colter Wall fashion, he wanted a more practical advertisement and opted to save a little money by creating another great marketing option:
“Management suggested getting a billboard to promote the upcoming single. A cheaper option was selected.”
The interstate-style sign reads “Music Row 1,800 Miles” painted on a piece of scrap wood in green paint. It’s the definition of simple yet effective.
At this rate, it shouldn’t be too long before the date is revealed for when fans will receive this gem. Bring it on, Colter. And bring on all the new tunes for this tour.
