Kin Faux w/ Cole Stephens

Kin Faux is not a person. Kin Faux is a movement. Kin as in Family, Faux as in Fake. They believe that you can build the family you want and that everyone is welcome. Based out of San Antonio, Texas, Kin Faux is a dynamic, nationally touring band that infuses the vibrant spirit of Texas Red Dirt Country into every performance. Drawing inspiration from iconic artists like Charlie Daniels, Alabama, and Restless Heart, their sound features rich vocal harmonies and virtuosic fiddle playing by Rico Gonzalez, incendiary guitar work by Jakey Black, and a thunderous rhythm section. The band was formed out of a shared passion for Texas Red Dirt music, inspired by artists such as Randy Rogers, Kevin Fowler, and Turnpike Troubadours. Kin Faux’s music echoes the authenticity and resilience found in traditional American folklore, telling stories of struggle and hope through heartfelt lyrics and captivating melodies.

This year, in 2026, the band is focused on continued growth in the industry. They started the year strong, selling out the annual New Year’s Eve Dance at the Luckenbach, Texas, Dancehall, and are excited to welcome 5-time state fiddle champion, Emily Jean, to the dynamic band lineup. With over a million streams to date, their recorded music has reached over 4 continents. The band is excited to head into 2026 with the continued desire and vigor to spread their brand of country music to an even larger audience! With a commitment to authentic storytelling and a vibrant sound, Kin Faux is poised to become one of the most exciting names in Texas Red Dirt Country history.

Born and raised in East Texas, Nacogdoches native Cole Stephens has a deep-rooted passion for music and songwriting. Blending country, rock, and gospel influences, Cole has crafted a sound he proudly calls Rock N’ Tonk—a high-energy fusion of country and rock grounded in Texas tradition. His musical foundation was shaped by the church and his East Texas upbringing. While still in high school, Cole spent his weekends in East Texas honky tonks and dance halls, watching artists such as Koe Wetzel, Parker McCollum, Randy Rogers, Aaron Watson, and Cody Johnson. It was there that he fell in love with the Texas Country and Red Dirt scenes. After graduating, Cole began playing shows around his hometown. Cole packed a college degree into two years, while also focusing on songwriting and releasing original music. In 2024, he made the move into full-time music, hitting the roads across Texas and sharing stages with artists like Aaron Watson, Josh Ward, Mike Ryan, Kolby Cooper, Stoney LaRue, Cameron Sacky Band, and the Bellamy Brothers. With momentum building, Cole is focused on songwriting and refining his own style. Cole released his first album on February 20, 2026, titled “Yesterday’s  News.”
