Colin Gilmore grew up in Lubbock TX, witnessing songwriters like Joe Ely, Terry Allen and his own father, Jimmie Dale Gilmore bring the stage to life. Touring and recording under his own name for the past several years, Gilmore has consistently incorporated the spirit of West Texas into his work. His latest album "The Wild and Hollow" allows influences like Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty to shine through, and has garnered worldwide attention (Mojo magazine called Colin "A west Texan Nick Lowe.") But as the Austin American Stateman's Michael Corcoran stated, "These are songs you're gonna want to hear live."
