About Me

Well Howdy Folks!Welcome to Rowan and Pride's official MySpace page.Rowan and Pride - Who they? Well, that's Cheyne Pride: The Dreadlock Queen of Country and Western Music! Exiled American chanteuse and enchantress, vocalista with soulful alt-country combo The Tenderhearts, and Gareth Rowan: Bodacious Big Ol' Boy, Singer, Songwriter, Multi-Instrumentalist and front man for Too Country, the UK's Texas Tried and Tested Honky Tonk Band. Together they make beautiful music, concentrating on all those classic Country and Soul duets you just can't sing on your own...not with dignity anyhow... Gig details and stuff will be posted here as they come in. So come along and see us - we promise to make the hair stand up on the back of your neck with our Country/Soul harmonies! Oh, and if you'd like us to come and sing at your venue, please send us a message. Please check out our official website: www.rowanandpride.com See you soon!
