Earl Wear auditioned for and won a spot on The Charlie Daniels’ Talent Roundup in Nashville, TN in 1995. Performing professionally since his late teens, it was another validation of his outstanding talent.
Also in ‘95, he won the Western Regional competition for the True Value/Jimmy Dean Country Showdown. The successful Idaho country band Coltrain saw him and asked him to join them as their lead singer. He accepted, and they’ve been fillin’ the dance floor ever since!
In 1996, Coltrain won the Northwest Regional competition for the Colgate Country Showdown. At the finals in Orlando, Florida they placed sixth in the nation, beating out 10,000 other acts.
In early 2001, Coltrain debuted their CD “Walking to Wyoming” which features original material written by Bob Regan, former president of NSAI (Nashville Songwriters Association International). It has received glowing reviews from critics and fans alike, and has been played across the country and as far away as the U.K. in 2001, the band performed at COUNTRY THUNDER USA just outside of Phoenix, AZ.
They shared the stage with country stars Sammy Kershaw, Wynonna and Rascal Flatts, to name just a few. That same year they were voted “Best Band in the Pacific Northwest.”
Earl & Coltrain have worked with the best and brightest in the business, including:
- Joe Diffie - Lacy J Dalton- Collin Raye- Tanya Tucker
- Martina McBride- Daryle Singletary- Diamond Rio
- Oakridge Boys- Confederate Railroad- Phil Vassar- Gary Allan - Neil McCoy and most recently, Crystal Gayle, Blake Shelton and some special acoustic performances for Phil Vassar.
Earl is also working on his first solo CD of original Bob Regan songs, with Coltrain‘s support, that will be available soon. These gentlemen are talented, professional and put on one heck of a show!
