ABOUT

“Texas-based acoustic troubadours; Texas Crossing have an extraordinary way of cutting straight through to the core of their listeners’ emotions with their heartfelt originals, and passion filled covers.

Catch any of their live performances and you'll find them semlessly moving between traditional country to classic rock while performing the songs with the passion each song deserves. Yet, it all manages to sound cohesive-- “strangly familiar” as one fan called it-- and all apart of the unforgettable experience.

It’s not unusual for the unusual to happen at Texas Crossing's loose and free-spirited performances—you never know what songs they’ll bust out with.

This is a duo who REALLY knows how to entertain all types of crowds. Audience members have described Texas Crossing as “excellent musicianship combined with entertaining showpersonship,” “music with catchy lyrics that make people of all ages want to sing along,” “high energy with a feel-good vibe,” and “lots good-natured fun.”

Texas Crossing takes their audiences on a musical journey across Texas and the South, as they echo the voices of their ancestors and depict life, love and personal experiences while leaving audiences fascinated, intrigued and inspired.

This powerful husband-wife duo have now played over 800 shows in their four short years with performances that have taken them across Texas! What started as small flame has turned into a raging fire one that is staying lit in the hearts of fans and listeners.

Songwriter, Colt Buckelew, strives for his compositions to have memorable melodies that stand on their own, yielding an unmistakable music foundation for their compelling lyrics and melodies. For the band, it's all about the song. They deliver musical hooks, deft arrangements, and lush harmonies that provide a just “right amount” of color to support the emotional core of each song.

Colt Buckelew (the Lead Vocalist/Lead and rythum guitar, and songwriter) has been in the music industry for well over 35 years. Traditional country and classic rock music are what he prefers. Equipped with a deep and raspy voice, and charmingly good looks, and music encyclopedia of knowledge, he has given a new sound to old country. His ability to poetically comprise such heartfelt lyrics helps one to identify who his musical idols were!

Colt is an intuative singer who's got an uncanny ability at remembering both traditional country and classic rock lyrics as well as the song details.

At live performances, you'll catch him leading the songs with an impeccable rhythumitic ferocity, as well as providing effortless melodic backup vocals.

Colt writes with a passion that comes from his souls and transcends into their musical creations. Together they share a great ability to write and perform Texas Outlaw Country originals in both traditional and non-traditional styles. Together they prove that music should be about how it makes the listener feel. With thought-provoking songs, they are Today's Country with yesterday's heart and soul...

Tiffany Valentine (lead vocalist/backup vocals, rhythm guitar, booking agent, manager, promotional team), provides both distinctive and soulful vocals as well as the backup harmonies! Assuming the responsibilities of being the Manager and booking agent, Tiffany has the least amount of experience and time in the industry.

Tiffany's passion for music is evident in her performance as she leaves her songs 110% on the stage for her audiences in a memorable experience Everytime. She has the incredible ability to make sure you feel the songs as deeply as she does.

Before finding her acoustic calling, Tiffany majored in Psychology obtaining her Associate's as well as working herself through her Bachelor's program leaving only 5 classes, she had already decided performing was her purpose in life, and left school to be a full time musician along side her original inspiration for music: Colt Buckelew.

Earning herself the title as Lady of Lone Star by being unmatchable in her promotional and management skills as well as being equipped with a persistent attitude she's reignited the sparks of Colts once shattered dreams of playing and writing music.

Fun Fact: Colt and Tiffany started their band up originally using Colts original band name; Colt Buckelew and The Crossroads. Reinventing themselves in 2015, they became Texas Crossing.

Did you know? The joining of the two artists was in a sense only meant to be a hobby for the couple to bond over. When Tiffany graduated her Associate's degree in Psychology in 2011, her grandparents asked what she wanted. Since her grandfather built guitars and was dying of mesothelioma, she figured it would give her and Colt more time to bond over a common interest; their love for music!

For the first 3 months, Colt would only teach Tiffany a rhythm pattern to see where she'd go! One night Colt went to town, and Tiffany grabbed her guitar and asked Ronnie (Colts father and guitar teacher) to teach her a chord! Within the 20 minute absence of Colt, Tiffany learned to play the entire song; Me and Bobby McGee.

Within 2 years, the duo started performing in venues and festivals across Texas. Tiffany had found a way to reignite the dying flames to Colts dreams of being a performer! And together the two have left an everlasting impression in the Texas Country Music scene!

In June 2018 they released their much anticipated EP; It's all over. Texas Crossing has gained much recognition, and radio play over Internet and terrestrial radio shows across the world!
