Award-winning singer-songwriter Billy Coulter returns with his signature blend of Americana roots and melodic British power pop in his latest EP, 5INGLES. Known for his dynamic performances and fearless storytelling, Coulter's music delivers a sound that is both familiar and refreshingly new. The EP features a collection of his latest digital single releases, showcasing his best work to date.
Coulter has made his mark performing at some of the Mid-Atlantic’s most renowned venues, including The Birchmere, Rams Head, Strathmore, The Hamilton, and several regional festivals. His distinctive voice, compelling songwriting, and high-energy performances have earned him 20 Washington Area Music (WAMMIE) Awards, including Album, Song, and Songwriter of the Year. His writing has also garnered accolades from both Billboard and the Mid-Atlantic Song Contests, where he won the 2023 Grand Prize.
Drawing on a wide range of influences from Tom Petty to David Bowie, Coulter creates an authentic and unique sound with nods to the classic rock that inspired him. His new EP 5INGLES has been praised for its standout tracks, such as the power-pop anthem “A Million Pieces” (Grand Prize winner) and the infectious “Haven’t You Fallen In Love With Me Yet?” Coulter’s roots are on full display with the humorous and heartfelt “Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time,” penned by John Eddie, while the raw, punk-inspired “Ready, Fire, Aim” and the introspective “Never Better” show his versatility as both a songwriter and performer.
