Cowboy Mouth

With a name procured from a Sam Shepard play, Cowboy Mouth are a rock band based in New Orleans, Louisiana. The nucleus of the band joined up in the early 1990s, and climbed the ladder from opening act living in a van to a powerhouse live act that has been called "a religious experience" by more than one music journalist. They have received modest radio play yet every year the band plays before more than half a million people at live shows around the nation. Some of their classic songs include "Everybody Loves Jill" (where the audience throws red spoons on stage), "Hurricane Party" (audience throws Tootsie Rolls), "Easy," "Better," and "Jenny Says," the traditional closing song of every show where the lead singer implores the crowd, "Jenny says turn off the radio, Jenny says turn out the lights, Jenny says, okay, everybody, scream your fucking hearts out!"
