SLOW MOTION COWBOYS

New Orleans’ Slow Motion Cowboys are the soulful country ramblings of songwriter Pete Fields. Prevalent these days in the New Orleans magnetic country scene, Pete and his band play often to the dancing crowds of southern Louisiana and beyond bringing an uptempo groove behind razor sharp lyrics culled from the struggle of modern times. With roots in CA, New Mexico and Texas the band has worked stages throughout the South and Southwest building a strong following through their releases on the Muscle Shoals’ label Arkam Records. In 2025 they will be touring their new record “Wolf of St. Elmo” to be released this spring, with dates booked across the country and a UK tour in the Fall. Have a listen here.

WHIP APPEAL

On a big wooden stage in front of a wide wooden dance floor, THE WHIP APPEAL is like a fifteen-member band in a long, scattered line, shoo-be-doo’ing an off-kilter chorus towards a bottom-shelf country nightcap. In the cave they’re more like a three-piece jazz band, improvising rock and roll, cutting straight to quarter-inch tape. Described last week at BJ’s Bywater Lounge, where they play once, sometimes twice a month, as “The Velvet Underground meets Townes van Zandt.” Have a listen here.
