Hot Club de CowtownHot Club de Cowtown

Since its beginnings in the late 1990s, the Hot Club of Cowtowns star has continued to rise as its reputation for jaw-dropping virtuosity and unforgettable live shows has become the bands global brand. Lauded for its down-home melodies and exuberant improvisation (The Times, London), the Hot Club has always woven a combination of seemingly disparate styles together to its own magical effect, setting up camp at that crossroads where country meets jazz and chases the blues away (The Independent), remaining conscious always that above all else, the music is for dancing and an old-fashioned good time (New York Times). The bands musical alchemy has been described as another breathless journey in the Texas tardis (The Times, London), while American Songwriter observed that the excellent three players of this band could be doing anything but have chosen to honor the greats of jazz and swing with their sound. The Belfast Telegraph calls the Hot Club of Cowtown a pretty much perfect country trio at the very top of their game, and the New York Times, in a live review the trio as armed with an arsenal full of technique and joy.The Hot Club of Cowtown has toured extensively worldwide for over twenty-five years, both on its own and with with artists including Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Gatemouth Brown, the Avett Brothers, Dan Hicks, Bryan Ferry, Roxy Music, the Squirell Nut Zippers, the Mavericks, Dustbowl Revival, Tyler Hilton.
