Thursday, October 8th brings some good ole Pennsylvania alternative folk, bluegrass, and a little Americana vibes to our listening lounge here at Alla Spina. We welcome Nate “Quickdraw” Cutshall and Coltt Winter Lepley to the stage.
ABOUT NATE CUTSHALL
Nate Cutshall is a harmonica-slinger, guitar-picker, and songsmith from central Pennsylvania. He has been racking up miles on the odometer chasing the next gig as an independent musician for more than a decade with nothing more than a do-it-yourself ethos and a stubbornly optimistic outlook. This perspective informs his stories of struggle, failure, love, redemption, triumph, and an ever-present sense of good humor—lit at the core by a glimmer of hope that can be found even in life’s bleakest moments.
He has been a longtime member of the country-junk supergiant Ma’aM, and the leader of the homespun alt-folk band The Scrapplers. As a hired gun harmonica player, he has played and toured nationally with folks like Olivia-Ellen Lloyd and Red McAdam. He also builds and repairs harmonicas in his downtime, informed by an apprenticeship with global harmonica tech legend Richard Sleigh.
ABOUT COLTT WINTER LEPLEY
Coltt Winter Lepley is an Appalachian folksinger/songwriter from Bedford, Pennsylvania. Coltt’s a published poet, author, folklorist, and former racecar driver who has taken his stories on the road as a touring musician. His highly anticipated and long-awaited recording debut released in July 2025, a self-titled EP, “Coltt Winter Lepley.” The project was produced by Al Torrence at Music Garden Studios north of Pittsburgh, PA. Al Torrence, and other members from The Allegheny High (the band that plays on Charles Wesley Godwin’s albums and live efforts) including Amico Demuzio, Nate Catanzarite, Joe Pinchotti III, as well as Pittsburgh musicians Justin Long and Alan Getto, helped to form the sound around Coltt’s storytelling in his first studio effort. He opens show with:
“Hello, folks.
Coltt Winter Lepley here.
Coltt like the horse but with two t’s.
Winter like the season.
Lepley like myself.”
Referred to as “Bedford’s poet laureate,” Coltt’s songs weave traditional folk elements with the literary storytelling to form an amalgamation of something akin to “Sam Stone” meets Wuthering Heights. Coltt averages nearly 200 shows year across the country from Wyoming to Massachusetts to Tennessee. Armed with his comedic crowd work and songs of cowboys, sailors, prostitutes, and preachers, as well as his own life, Coltt has travelled the country carving out a cult-like following. From these efforts, Coltt has played Americanafest, SXSW, Club Passim, Sweetwater, Club Cafe, The Knickerbocker, Waynestock, Bottlerocket, Rose Arts Fest Connecticut, and a variety of America’s premier small stages and festivals. In 2025, he’s slated to make his debut at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas.
Coltt’s career and accomplishments have been built upon his reputation for storytelling and infamous live show and all without ever having a song on streaming services until now. With shades of artists like John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, Woody Guthrie, Jason Isbell, and Gregory Alan Isakov, Coltt acknowledges the bar and creates a sound all his own. Officially one of Pennsylvania’s worst-kept secrets is finally set to be released upon the masses. Look for his self-titled debut EP this year, “Coltt Winter Lepley” wherever you listen to music.
