Cowboy Mouth releases "Alternate Reality" single

(NEW ORLEANS, LA) -- Much like gumbo, the famous dish of their hometown, the New Orleans-born Cowboy Mouth uses a potent blend of musical ingredients - rock, blues, punk, funk, country, pop, soul and whatever else feels good- to create their bodacious, kickass tunes. Frontman, drummer, and co-founder Fred LeBlanc has asserted “If The Neville Brothers and The Clash had a baby, it would be Cowboy Mouth!" His description not only reflects the group’s amazing diverse sound, but it also conveys the fire and commitment they bring to their music.

Cowboy Mouth has perfected their wonderfully rambunctious style over the band’s three decades together. During that time, they have sold over a half a million albums domestically, performed before more than ten million people, and played over 3,000 concerts. Relentless touring has cemented their reputation and developed a devoted fan base through powerhouse live performances (frequently averaging 250 gigs a year). “With every show, no matter where it is, we try to turn it into New Orleans during the middle of Mardi Gras,” LeBlanc proclaims. “It's like a southern gospel revival without the religion” – unless your religion is rock ‘n’ roll!

Summer of 2024 finds the band releasing new music and further solidifying their status as perennial road warriors with dates in the Southeast and on the East Coast.

Their latest single ‘Alternate Reality’ offers a bit of playful commentary on our current state of affairs.  According to LeBlanc, "’Alternate Reality’ is a rock 'n' roll song about the crazy times we all seem to be living in these days. It's a song about losing your mind in order to find your heart and soul, something that is etched as a vital part of the Cowboy Mouth ethos.”

The song release coincides with the start of the summer touring season- which will be taking the band to NYC, Boston, Nashville, and Memphis among other stops.

Cowboy Mouth is also thrilled to announce the release of their first full-length album in over a decade, tentatively set for early 2025. Fans can look forward to a dynamic and electrifying collection of music that embodies the band’s signature energy and passion.

Cowboy Mouth formed in 1990, and their festive, free-wheeling style stood in sharp contrast to the then-popular grunge sound. In 1996, the band signed with MCA and their major label debut, Are You With Me?, spawned their biggest hit, ‘Jenny Says’, which cracked the top 40 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock and Alternative Rock charts. Their tunes have appeared in films ranging from the crime drama The Underneath (which featured them performing on screen) to the family comedy Meet The Robinsons. After doing several more albums on MCA Records and then Atlantic Records, Cowboy Mouth has continued to get their music to the people with a series of well-received independent and self-released albums.
