He knew immediately that he wanted to be a musician and a few years later he picked up the guitar. At 17, Colston formed his first band and they hit the road playing everywhere they could. Colston\u0092s music is heavily influenced by some of the greats he grew up listening to like Lynard Skynard, The Allman Brothers and country legends Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. His musical sound has continued to grow with inspiration from Whiskey Myers and Blackberry Smoke. Listening to them helped Colston curate his own style of what he describes as \u0093gritty Texas roots combined with a little blues and rock n\u0092 roll.\u0094 His powerful vocals are undeniable and his honest, relatable lyrics resonate with his rapidly growing fan base creating a product you cannot deny.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prekindle.com\/promo\/id\/530585115378493485\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prekindle.com<\/a>[\/mk_blockquote][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=&#8221;Tickets&#8221; color=&#8221;sky&#8221; align=&#8221;right&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.prekindle.com%2Ffind-tickets%2Fid%2F530585115378493485%3F1||target:%20_blank|&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row column_padding=&#8221;5&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_raw_html css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1574288013561{border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGYXV1MGJwa3RhVTglMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXIlM0IlMjBhdXRvcGxheSUzQiUyMGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYSUzQiUyMGd5cm9zY29wZSUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUyMiUyMGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_raw_html css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1574288028288{border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGWWJkdE50Sl8zVHMlMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXIlM0IlMjBhdXRvcGxheSUzQiUyMGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYSUzQiUyMGd5cm9zY29wZSUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUyMiUyMGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDYSUyMGNsYXNzJTNEJTIydHdpdHRlci10aW1lbGluZSUyMiUyMGhyZWYlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnR3aXR0ZXIuY29tJTJGQ2hyaXNfQ29sc3Rvbl8lM0ZyZWZfc3JjJTNEdHdzcmMlMjU1RXRmdyUyMiUzRVR3ZWV0cyUyMGJ5JTIwQ2hyaXNfQ29sc3Rvbl8lM0MlMkZhJTNFJTIwJTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwYXN5bmMlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnBsYXRmb3JtLnR3aXR0ZXIuY29tJTJGd2lkZ2V0cy5qcyUyMiUyMGNoYXJzZXQlM0QlMjJ1dGYtOCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRSUyMA==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sat Dec 14 2019 &#8211; 6:00 PM [vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_blockquote font_family=&#8221;none&#8221;]East Texas native, Chris Colston has recently sent a storm sweeping through the Texas\/ Red Dirt scene with the release of his 2018 EP, \u0093Gone.\u0094 The title track surpassed a half-million streams on Spotify in just a few short months after its release and with that, Colston [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
