Billy Coulter (acoustic show)

Billy Coulter performs at The Birchmere supporting Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes

Washington, DC (5/28/2008) – Award-winning singer/songwriter Billy Coulter will perform an acoustic set at The Birchmere on Saturday, June 21st opening for Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes. This is Coulter's first performance at the legendary venue.

Coulter’s songwriting and distinctive vocal style has earned him several regional accolades, including the latest Washington Area Music (WAMMIE) Award for Male Roots Rock Vocalist of the Year. Coulter and his band play regularly in the mid-Atlantic region, often supporting touring national acts, and performing at festivals and venues such as Strathmore, Wolf Trap, Rams Head, and IOTA.

Already a respected artist with a loyal following, Coulter draws on influences as varied as Bob Dylan to Squeeze, to deliver an organic sound that straddles the line between Roots Rock and Power Pop. Coulter releases his latest CD "DOSE" later this month. “’Dose’ is an album five years in the making, with some of my most hear-felt songs yet, just waiting to be discovered. I’m dealing with loneliness, lost innocence, self-obsession and the trials of having a conscience – the real things that real people can connect with and relate to,” said Coulter.
