About Hippies & Cowboys
Hippies And Cowboys are a rock ’n soul band, originating in Nashville TN. Bringing back a taste of southern rock, blues, and soul, it’s a sound that has defied the test of time. Inspiration comes from the likes of Sam and Dave, The Blues Brothers, Booker T & The MG’s, Otis Redding, and Marvin Gaye, to Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Eagles, The Beatles, Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones and CCR.
Early tracks were recorded in the iconic studios of Muscle Shoals, Alabama: Fame, East Avalon, and Noise Block. This music was captured on the album Live At Fox & Locke, and released on vinyl in October 2023.
The band huddled up at Purple House studio in Lieper’s Fork TN, later that same year. From those sessions sprang their first studio release, an EP of six songs called Fork In The Road, delivered to the world on September 27th. A national tour will follow throughout the remainder of 2024.
