Slade Coulter

From college bar stages to sold-out crowds, Slade Coulter has built his career the old-school way—one song, one show, and one mile at a time. A Texas native with a rock-and-roll heart and a storyteller’s soul, Coulter’s music fuses red dirt grit with the kind of songwriting that lingers long after the last note fades.

His 2020 debut EP, Here We Go Again, introduced fans to his sharp lyricism and rugged authenticity, setting the stage for his first full-length album, Best of Me (2022). Songs like Hey Mary and Take It Out on Me struck a chord with listeners, blending late-night regret with the kind of raw energy that makes a song feel like a memory.

With Something to Say (2024), Coulter raises the stakes, proving he’s more than just another name in Texas country—he’s an artist with a voice that demands to be heard. Singles like Six Shooter and Love Junkie channel the electric energy of a live show, while Dying to Know cuts deep, showcasing the emotional weight behind his lyrics. Whether he’s delivering a gut-punch ballad or a driving, full-throttle anthem, Coulter never loses sight of the honesty that got him here in the first place.
