From the bright lights of the Grand Ol" Opry to the UK's Glastonbury Festival, to regular appearances on "A Prairie Home Companion" and festival stages worldwide, the Hot Club of Cowtown has ascended from its unlikely beginnings in New York City's East Village a decade ago to become the premier ambassador of hot jazz and western swing through sheer tenacity, virtuosity and the unstoppable power of their breathtaking live show.
The Hot Club of Cowtown continues to build on the group's global successes:
was lauded on NPR, darlings of international stages from Japan¹s Fuji Rock Festival to Stagecoach and all points in between. Appearances at mega-festivals from Byron Bay (Australia) to Fuji Rock (Japan) to Glastonbury (UK), Jazz at Lincoln Center¹s 2009 fall season to Jools Holland¹s hit BBC TV show "Later" have also helped bring the Hot Club of Cowtown growing acclaim and a little closer to the millions waiting to fall in love with their music. Rachel Ray even put them in her cookbook!
The band continues to evolve in its own unique way since the release of its first album more than 10 years ago. Neil Strauss wrote about them in the New York Times: "The band's lack of irony, self-consciousness and forced hipness in embracing a style of music that so easily lends itself to such things ... conscious always that above all else, the music is for dancing and an old-fashioned good time."
