ABOUT HIPPIES & COWBOYS

Hippies And Cowboys are a powerhouse rock ’n soul band hailing from Nashville, TN, bringing back the grit, groove, and raw energy of classic Southern rock with a modern twist. Their electrifying blend of blues, soul, and rock ’n’ roll channels the timeless influences of legends like Sam & Dave, The Blues Brothers, Booker T. & The MG’s, Otis Redding, and Marvin Gaye, while embracing the stadium-sized swagger of Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band, The Eagles, The Rolling Stones, and Tom Petty. 

From their early recordings in the legendary studios — such as FAME in Muscle Shoals, East Avalon, and Muscle Shoals Sound—to their explosive live performances, Hippies And Cowboys have quickly become one of the most talked-about rising acts in the Southern rock revival.
