About Me

Make your own banner at MyBannerMaker.com!
Cougar Magnum is comprised of some of the most eclectic musical minds on the east coast. With backgrounds ranging from jazz, blues and pop-rock, Cougar Magnum is a must-hear. With singles like “Take Me Out and Draw Me a Picture,” “Just a Dream,” The Outer Banks," and “Crazy Eyes” it’s easy to see these 20 somethings doing big things. Catch them at a venue near you before they hit the road promoting their EP and soon to be available album. Feel free to browse this myspace and their web-page to learn more.
“Unusual covers and great originals” is how local critics describe Cougar Magnum. With their high energy and traditional approach to music this band turns heads by "breaking rules and bending genres." Learn more about the guys at www.cougarmagnum.com.
