Grave Cowboys have come up for air with a new line-up of players to bring their gritty, homespun rock, oddball country, and brand-specific circus poetry back to the S.E. Pennsylvania music scene. Put your hats up boys, see if they shoot.
Just The Way You Like It
Spiced lightly with a pinch or two,
of oily limerick and sage haiku.
How do you like it?
Medium raw. Why? Because,
it's against the law.
GC have been dawdling around the Delaware Valley music scene since 2000. They are fronted by songwriter/stonemason Ben Purscell who when the lights go up assumes his stage persona, "Dusty Mason". A self-employed stonemason whose alarm clock goes off at 5:30 am, Ben gets Dusty to do the heavy lifting required in this role.
Put some snap in your crack, check out the tunes, then BOOK US!!!
Call (215) 262-3583, ask for Dusty.
