With a hypnotic vibrato made to cut through the haze of modern life, and an old-school dedication to Western twang, Coleman Jennings can seem like a conduit to a different time – or even, a different spiritual plane. But as the country provocateur and Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records singer-songwriter says, his music is no echo of the past. More like a fierce statement of originality, crafted to stand out … and shake you to your core. Never afraid to call out the dull conventionality of commercial pop, the Texas native is a student of music with inspirations like John Denver, Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, The Eagles, Blaze Foley, John Hartford and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Diving deep into guitar while in high school, the gritty, unvarnished realism of roots poet Blaze Foley sparked an obsession with the art of country music and stoked an anti-establishment fire which still burns. Honing a modern-classic sound, Jennings’ 2024 EP Wildflowers & Tears earned him comparisons to Willie Nelson and Townes Van Zandt, now a new chapter begins. Working with GRAMMY®-winning producer Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson), Jennings raises his distinctive voice for all to hear on his debut single, “Head Spinning,” which speaks to Jennings’ originality and captures the country-folk spirit.
