Cole Risner

Cole Risner has been writing songs since he was 13 and has spent the last 20 years earning his place in the Texas music scene. His sound leans Texas country and Red Dirt, driven by strong storytelling and songs that feel both familiar and personal. He has shared the stage with artists like Jack Ingram, Reckless Kelly, and Hayes Carll, and played iconic rooms like Gruene Hall and Cheatham Street Warehouse.

He was also handpicked by hit songwriter Scott Sean White to open at The Rook before Scott had to step away from the show.

We thought enough of him to bring him back for a feature performance.
