Coltt Winter Lepley is the name of Coltts upcoming album release and solo debut slated for early Summer. Coltt has built a professional career touring across the nation from Nashville to Boston to Laramie without ever having a song on a streaming service. This Spring, that will finally change.

Coltt plans to release a 6-track album produced by The Allegheny Highs Al Torrence at Music Garden Studios just outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Allegheny High is notably known for touring with Charles Wesley Godwin and providing the instrumentation on his albums. Torrence also produced Godwins first two albums at Music Garden Studios. Coltt tapped the talent of additional Allegheny High members: Amico Demuzio (steel guitar, banjo), Joe Pinchotti III (drums), Nate Cratanzarite (bass), and Al Torrence playing instrumentals as well as producing (lead guitar, backing vocals, piano, and various other guitar parts). Pittsburgh locals on the album include Justin Long (Fiddle, backing vocals), and Alan Getto (harmonica, backing vocals).

All the songs are original compositions of Coltts, and his album features his familiar modified Travis picking and rhythm guitar, his signature vocal trill, and even traditional instrumentals with the bones.The entirety of the album was born from Western Pennsylvania including every aspect of the songs and every musician who played on it. Im proud of that. The songs from the album, Coltt Winter Lepley, were written at Coltts childhood home in Bedford, Pennsylvania.

Located in the Dutch Corner region of Bedford, the secluded brick farmhouse from the 1800s provided the perfect backdrop to steal away moments of solitude in his formative writing years. This area was where Country Music Hall of Fame member, Von Horton, wrote Mockingbird Hill, famously recorded by George Jones. The real Mocking Bird Hill is actually Messiah Church Road, about two miles from Coltts parents. Coltt unknowingly followed in Hortons footsteps while quietly toiling in his parents living room at 2:00am formulating the melody for Sunflower Creek, a creative re-imaging of the very real Dunnings Creek and the first track on the album. Whether making time in the twilight hours to write the reflective Doves and Pine Boxes, or sitting on the front porch overlooking the Allegheny Mountains scribbling lyrics to Tear Addressed To You, the roots of North Appalachia and the reflections of the region he grew up in, are inseparably woven into the fabric of his work.
