Cole Phillips

Barley's Taproom and Pizzeria

Join us for a special evening with Cole Phillips!!!

<p>At just 20 years old, Cole Phillips is carving out a space for himself in country music with his raw, unfiltered storytelling and an authenticity that hits deep. Hailing from Bridge Creek, Oklahoma, Phillips blends classic country influences with red dirt grit and rock energy, crafting a sound that is both timeless and fresh. His debut EP, Steel Toes and Texacos, set for release on April 11, is a reflection of the experiences that shaped him—a small-town upbringing, a family of eight, and the weight of growing up too fast. Having first turned heads with his breakout single “Drinking Alone”, which amassed millions of streams after going viral on TikTok, Phillips quickly proved himself as more than just a social media sensation. His deeply personal lyrics and gravelly delivery connect with listeners on a level that goes beyond trends. Steel Toes and Texacosis no exception, offering a collection of songs that tell the story of a restless soul navigating love, heartbreak, and the uncertainty of what comes next. Each of the five tracks on Steel Toes and Texacos was co-written by Phillips, further cementing his reputation as a songwriter with a unique perspective and a voice that cuts straight to the core. From the dusty roads of "West Tx" to the introspective depths of “Junk Drawer”, the EP captures the highs and lows of young adulthood with honesty and grit. Produced by Trevor Thornton, the project blends traditional country storytelling with the raw energy of red dirt and rock, nodding to his influences—Hank Williams Jr., David Allan Coe, Zach Bryan, Cody Jinks, Nirvana, and Metallica—while maintaining a sound that is distinctly his own. Phillips is signed to RECORDS Nashville, a division of Sony Music, and is represented by WME for booking and Why &amp; How for management, solidifying his place as one of country music’s most exciting new voices. With Steel Toes and Texacos, Cole Phillips isn’t just introducing himself—he’s proving he’s here to stay.</p>
