Cowboy Mouth Never Ceases to Amaze! (Nashville)

Concert Review: Saturday April 14th at Exit Inn Nashville Tennessee

Show 5 out of 5 😆 Belches (Hints My Last Name:Belcher)

By: Josh Belcher 

Cowboy Mouth, arguably the "Greatest Live Band of All Time" made the Nashville concert a celebration that was over-the-top exciting! They came they saw and they conquered and left the fans in better shape then before they arrived. As a musician, fan and journalist  I can safely say a Cowboy Mouth concert is the most intense yet peaceful display of the human condition you can be a part of. "Life is to be Celebrated and not Endured" is a saying Drummer/Front man Fred LeBlanc embodies as he walks the walk and talks the talk during the entire performance. Beginning to end, show after show. Fred is consistent in that he always gives his all, heart and soul down to the last squeeze of life. Giving and taking from the audience to complete exhaustion on both ends of the spectrum. I alongside my cohort Zach Rodriguez left hoarse from singing and cheering and exhausted from jumping up and down and rocking! It was raining outside, but it was all warm and fuzzy when Cowboy Mouth hit the stage.

A very honorable mention is bass player Brian Broussard played the show with what could have very possibly been a broken leg or knee, from a injury apparently sustained while performing on the Kid Rock Cruise a few days before the Nashville stop.

I had the opportunity to wish Cowboy Mouth co-founder and Vocalist/ Guitar Player extraordinaire John Thomas Griffith a Happy Belated Birthday his was on April 3rd. A interesting fact is prior to saying hi to John a lady beggar approached my friend and I with a list of stories and conditions and reasoning as to why we needed to give her money. She also caught John in regards to the same question. Sorry John, I feel like if I hadn't of stopped him to say hi and Happy Birthday he would have not been approached by the female pan-handler. * My apologies 

Matt Jones played a very awesome Gretsch guitar white with gold trimming that was a new addition in the wake of an equipment robbery Fred had mentioned to us.
