About Me

Earl Wear started singing at age five and turned professional in his late teens. He won numerous contests including a spot on the Charlie Daniel's Talent Roundup in Nashville. He placed 1st in The Jimmy Dean Country Showdown at the local AND regional competitions and placed 6th at the national show, beating out 10,000 other acts. Earl and his band, Haywire (comprised of the best musicians around: JR Rickard's award winning steel guitar, Dave Sturgill's unbeatable bass, Randy Matthew's spot-on drums, and Mike Evan's perfect pickin') have been playing together for over 5 years and have developed quite a following. In 2001 they released their debut CD "Walking To Wyoming" under their original name "Coltrain". That same year, they were voted "Best Band in the Pacific Northwest". They have worked with over 60 national country recording artists and are now a full time touring group covering some of the biggest country venues in the Midwest, the West and the South.
RECENTLY: In the past year, Earl has worked with Blake Shelton, Crystal Gayle, Williams & Ree, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Keith Anderson, Mark Chestnutt & Tracy Lawrence. He recently performed two special acoustic shows for Phil Vassar. He headlined at the WYO Theater in Sheridan, Wyoming for their famous "WYO Rodeo Days", and graced many more main fair and festival stages throughout the West!
AWARDS: Walking To Wyoming" was re-released in 2008 and is now in regular rotation on most country radio stations in the West and Midwest. It has spent 35 weeks in the top 5 on the Independent Music Network's Country Charts (over 22 weeks at 1!).
