The
term 'Cowboy Mouth' has been used in the poetry of Shakespeare and
Bob Dylan as well as a play by Patti Smith and Sam Shepard. Usually
meaning one with a loud and raucous voice, it describes the band
well. With over 2000 concerts under their belt and many years of
reviews lauding their live show, there is still one quote which best
captures their show.....
"...on a bad night they'll tear the roof off the joint and on a good
night, they'll save your soul."
— Cake Magazine
Cowboy Mouth is New Orleans rock n' roll. Annually presenting
roughly 200 shows per year, releasing nearly a dozen records, and
featured on TV shows and radio stations everywhere, Cowboy Mouth has
been seen and heard by millions of fans worldwide. For more than 15
years, the members of Cowboy Mouth have preached and shouted at the
top of their lungs the joys of being alive and the joys of being in
and from New Orleans, sharing a slice of Mardi Gras heaven with fans
around the world. As frontman Fred LeBlanc has said,"If The Neville
Brothers and The Clash had a baby, it would be Cowboy Mouth."
The band's 11 album releases include two records on MCA, one on
Atlantic and several on their own Cowboy Mouth Records label. So
far, the band has enjoyed domestic sales of over 450,000 units. But
the album sales pale in comparison to the number of tickets the band
sells to their live events. Cowboy Mouth shows are legendary, and
have been witnessed by more than 8 million fans to date.
Always on the road, they've toured several times with their friends
in Hootie and the Blowfish, BareNaked Ladies, Sister Hazel and
Better Then Ezra.
Crowd participation is a must at a Cowboy Mouth show. Led by Fred's
larger-than-life presence, the band's performances are high energy
and extraordinarily intense, usually leaving audiences as drenched
and spent as the band. Cowboy Mouth fans range from ages five to age
eighty-five, but they have one thing in common - as Fred confides to
the audience, "Cowboy Mouth is about pretending that you're five
years old, naked as a jaybird and about to turn the hose on your
parents, and there's not a damn thing they can do about it."
A Cowboy Mouth show is always full of surprises, and have included
guest appearances from Steve Van Zandt, Rob Thomas , John Popper,
Art Neville, Johnnie Johnson (Chuck Berry's piano player), Kyle
Turley, and Tom Arnold (Best Damn Sports Show), to name a few. Their
audience stretches from the festivals and colleges to the clubs and
theaters they headline around the country.
