Red Dirt Artist Colton O’Neill Performs Saturday Night

Colton O'Neill and his band make their way to the outdoor stage at Scottie's Grill Saturday night.

Lone Oak, Texas native Colton O'Neill is 24 years old, and he and his band look exactly like what you'd expect a young southern garage band to be: three friends, who between them rustled up just enough gas money to make it to the show. The difference between this band and countless others that look just like it, is O’Neill’s elegantly crafted songs, his powerful vocals, and scorching guitar work.

Colton's stage presence is evident as he banters with the audience.
I have been told that Guy Clark always found the one string out of tune and then tuned the other five to that...maybe we should give that a try.

Back in the day, my pops was one of the top Texas country guitarists on the circuit”

Colton O’Neill in on the fast track to be the next big thing in Americana music.  At his age, to have that level of talent and an unbridled ambition is almost unheard of. If you are a fan of Reckless Kelly, Cody Canada and the Departed, Adam Hood, William Clark Green then you really need to check Colton out.
