   About The John Cowan Band
Bluegrass, Newgrass, Rock N’ Rollgrass. True innovators defy easy categorization and John Cowan is the ultimate innovator. His ability to move easily between music styles and blend and bend genres into creative new forms has made him one of the most significant voices in acoustic music over the past thirsty years. After making a name for himself as one of the most in-demand vocalists in the early 1970s’ music scene in Louisville, KY., Cowan rose to fame when he became the lead singer for New Grass Revival. He and band mates Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, and Pat Flynn introduced a new generation of music fans to an explosive, experimental brand of bluegrass. After inspiring and entertaining fans for nearly two decades, New Grass disbanded in 1990. Cowan immediately gave chase to his creative muse following it all over the musical landscape with a series of critically acclaimed albums. The Evansville, Indiana-native wrapped his expansive voice around tunes that ran the gamut from rock to souls to blues and beyond. As the 21st century began he found himself circling slowly, inexorably back to the acoustic music that he knew so well. He began to surround himself with some of the finest acoustic musicians working. When the current line-up of his band, Jeff Autry (guitar), Shad Cobb (fiddle), and John Frazier (mandolin), came together, he knew he was on to something special. The music began to take a natural, organic turn back to Cowan’s acoustic roots. The response may be overwhelming, but it shouldn’t be unexpected. Fans are hungry for the inventive experimentation and world-class musicianship that New Grass Revival offered. There haven’t been many bands capable of carrying the torch that NGR lit. On his latest release, New Tattoo, Cowan is fearless. You can hear it in the eclectic mix and blend of styles and the unblinking willingness to bare even the most private recesses of his soul. New Tattoo is a bold and important statement from one of the most important voices working in American music.

JUST ANNOUNCED: The Empires: Spreading Da Gospel ‘bout Tom Britt! John Cowan-Vocalist/Bassist extraordinaire (New Grass Revival), Billy Thomas-Drums/Vocals groove & fluid master (Vince Gill), and Kevin McKendree-Piano, sublime prestidigitation (Delbert McClinton), want the world to be aware and drink (or bathe) in the genius of Tom Britt. Mr. Britt happens to be a master of the electric slide guitar. By our humble, but arguable estimation, there are 3 other living electric slide guitarist (Derek Trucks, Sonny Landreth, & Jerry Douglas) whom have managed to bring the instrument into the unknown out of the boundaries originally made and beautifully set by the likes of Robert Johnson, Elmore James, Duane Allman, Leo Kottke, Ry Cooder and other giants. In Mr. Britt’s hands, we find a bit of flash ala Mr. Landreth, but working modally through various tunings, we discover a haunting beauty in his voicing of chords along with the “whack” of his left hand technique. So, come join the party, and be the first on your block to say you saw Tom Britt…..when!

Hey John and Company,
Wish you guys were playing here in Milwaukee at Summerfest. You deserve to be playing the Marcus Amphitheatre with George Strait on June 29 or Kenny Chesney on July 3rd. Your voice just soars, man.
If not this summer, I guess I can wait until December, but it's really NICE here in the summer with Lake Michigan right there, the Calatrava Art Museum, and a Les Paul exhibit at Discovery World.
Anyway, look forward to hearing you soon!
:-)

I am featuring you on my current profile. Been a fan since I heard New Grass Revival in Flint MI. in the 70's at the Flint Bluegrass Festival. John Hartford was the headliner but New Grass Revival made my night and now your music is better than ever.
