Join us on Saturday, May 4th, as we welcome back to the musical stage, the talented, ERIC WOODRING from 2 to 5 PM.

Born and raised in South Texas, Eric launched his music career in the mid-nineties. His music is Country, though some have suggested it slots nicely into both the Red Dirt and Americana genres. Fans and critics often likened his sound to classic country artists such as George Strait and Merle Haggard. Live performances are truly where Woodring excels as an artist.    

2019 was a breakthrough year for Woodring and his music when he released his much-anticipated full-length album "Jackson County Line". One track on the album, "The River Walk", was released as a radio single and spent several weeks on the charts and even garnered international attention. Woodring released another full-length album in 2020 titled "Campfire, TX", which was an acoustic tribute to Texas songwriter greats such as Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark.

In the heart of Texas' vibrant country music scene, Coleton emerges as a refreshing and compelling new voice with deep roots in the genre's rich heritage. Born into a lineage of musical talent, with his father Kevin Black and uncles Brian and Clint Black as guiding stars, Coleton's artistry is a blend of country traditions and a bold, modern perspective. His debut album, 'Come And Get Ya Some', a masterful showcase of storytelling and musicianship, marks him as a notable figure in the genre's evolving landscape.

Coleton's style, characterized by raw emotion and authentic Texan flair, draws inspiration from the legends he grew up around, yet carves out a distinct path that resonates with today's audiences.

Growing up in Katy, Texas, Coleton was surrounded by the rhythms and stories of country music from a young age. Coleton's road to recognition began with a performance of 'Bad to the Bone' at a talent show during his formative years, leading to regular appearances at local festivals, with his journey taking a significant leap forward when he joined his father on tour, serving as a backup vocalist and lead guitarist.

Currently, Coleton is celebrating the release of his debut album, an earnest reflection of his evolution from an emerging talent to a promising star in country music. As he embarks on a series of shows, live events and new projects, Coleton Black is poised to make a lasting mark on the country music landscape.
