The Belfast Cowboys/St Dominic's Trio

About Me

The Belfast Cowboys play the music of Van Morrison. We made our debut at the 400 Bar (Minneapolis) on St Patrick's Day, 2002, and since that time, the band has been playing to loving crowds in and around the Twin Cities.------------------Test Your Cowboys I.Q.--------------
