About Me

Interstate Cowboy- A Western Swing/Jazz/Rock/Americana/Alt Country Band based out of Masonville Colorado. Our new release "There’s a Road". A blend of Country Rock, Alt Country and Western Swing/Jazz. Also, helping us out on the new CD are Subdudes Steve Amedee’& John Magnie as well as vocalist Mary Buirgy. check out a recent review of our new release! MIDWEST RECORD – CHICAGO, IL – MARCH 18, 2008INTERSTATE COWBOY/There’s a Road: As much as we wish the gal on the cover was part of the band, this crew has enough chops that you’re willing to let them slide. This is one of those records that comes out of nowhere, like Chris Thomas’s Louis Prima tribute, and just stops you in your tracks. Original Americana/western swing with a flair and flavor that makes you wonder how and why this is flying so low under the radar, it’s music from the heart with heart that defies and defines the new directions for the genre. A tasty set of real music, it’s a hard to resist charmer that will be an iPod staple in no time no matter how small your internal memory is. Hot stuff. (Ranch Ruckus) – Chris SpectorAlso we have a little single (Fragile World) we recently cut with my kids Dani and Joaquin. This song has not been released yet, just a gift of peace to you -feel free to download it and pass it on. The song takes a different perspective on war. Hell yes, we support our troops!! But we don’t support what war does to the innocent, especially the children. Well I don’t want to get too political, but if we were just another band who played only "feel good" songs (although we love feel good songs!) we would be limp Cowboys, not Strong Interstate Cowboys where hard blacktop meets the real world of redemption, love, hate, forgiveness and ultimately hope.Peace, Tim I-Cowboy
