Dom Cours is a raw southern talent who’s music resonates with the soul of the Texas Hill Country. You can tell he’s burning the right kind of fuel when you see him standing on stage, pouring his heart out into his music, while a crowd lends their ear to enjoy the culmination of his work. Dom has always wanted to be a musician, but life has taken him through some soul searching and some hefty detours. From 8 years as an U.S. Army Infantryman, with three years of combat in Iraq. Followed by years as a single father raising his daughter on his own. All of his trials have paid off. He now has a happy full family, and back on track following his passion. Country music and Texas blues are the keystone in the foundation of his musical style. Being raised in the back wood pines of Bastrop County Texas gave him the exposure to country music and lifestyle that fuels his enjoyment in crafting it. His proximity to Austin did the same for the blues. As a result, his sound is swampy and full of grit and driving rhythms. He makes use of multiple instruments to fill the set with layers of different sounds and textures like: the drive of a lead guitar, the slide against the strings of a dobro, the crystal clean sounds of the acoustic guitar, the deep rumble of a low tuned baritone, all held together by the rhythm of an antique alligator alligator-skin suitcase drum.
