PHOENIX, AZ | Colter Wall and the Little Songs Tour made its fifth stop at the Arizona Financial Theatre in downtown Phoenix. Playing alongside was special guest Vincent Neil Emerson; the night was a country fan’s dream.
Taking a break from his ranch duties in Canada, Wall carved some time out for his recent album Little Songs and the tour. The Saskatchewan native has already played eleven shows in 2024, and is scheduled to play five more on the current tour.
The show was opened by Texas native Vincent Neil Emerson. With support from the Red Horse Band, the group rocked out with a classic, southern rock sound that resonated with the southwest Phoenix crowd. Vincent has been releasing music since 2019, and his most recent album is The Golden Crystal Kingdom. Vincent considers himself a songwriter first, and he’s had a lot of success with his music in the few years he has released songs since the pandemic.
Colter Wall kicked off his set with the title track of the recent album, “Little Songs,” the third most streamed tune on the album. He followed that with “Evangelina,” a Hoyt Axton cover and a song his dad played for him. His dad was in the audience and got a nice cheer before the track was played. His third song, “Let’s All Help The Cowboys (Sing The Blues),” is from Wall’s 2022 EP “Cypress Hills and the Big Country.” Given the size of Arizona Financial Theatre, the show felt very intimate with Wall’s rich acoustic sound and authentic lyrics.
