Colter Wall

About

The artist

Colter Wall is a country and Western singer-songwriter, guitarist, producer, and rancher based near Battle Creek, Saskatchewan. Raised in Swift Current, he began releasing music in 2014 and introduced his low baritone and narrative writing on the 2015 EP Imaginary Appalachia. His self-titled 2017 debut, produced by Dave Cobb, expanded his audience, while Songs of the Plains in 2018 placed Saskatchewan history, working life, and Western tradition at the centre of the songs. Western Swing & Waltzes and Other Punchy Songs followed in 2020, and Little Songs continued that close relationship between ranch work and songwriting in 2023. Wall's fifth studio album, Memories and Empties, arrived in November 2025 through La Honda Records and RCA Records. Recorded at RCA Studio A with touring guitarist and co-producer Pat Lyons, the album leans into honky-tonk, Western swing, barroom songs, and quieter narrative ballads. Wall performs with the Scary Prairie Boys and maintains a working cattle operation in Saskatchewan. In March 2026 he paused live performances indefinitely to address his mental health, but the artist project remains current and the 2025 album remains its latest recorded work. MusicList describes the live hiatus without treating it as retirement or dissolution.
