Detroit cosmic country, fueled by the auto industry!
The Winestoned Cowboys are a seven-piece band of seasoned musicians from Detroit, blending classic country with the gritty soul of rock 'n' roll, Americana, and roots music. They call this unique fusion "cosmic country," a sound as expansive as it is intimate.
The lineup features Matt Horne on vocals and guitar, Nick Cicchetti on bass, Brenda Mahler on vocals, Elliott Moses on high-strung acoustic guitar, Bob Monteleone on lead guitar, Jordan Siden on pedal steel guitar, and John Porter on drums. Having played together around town for a while, the band captured their live energy by recording their full-length album, Live at the Old Miami, at the iconic Detroit dive bar.
Released in December, the 11-track album is a testament to their dynamic performances. It kicks off with the swinging, mid-tempo track "Sorry Tomorrow" and also features the twangy, laid-back "Little Failures," giving listeners a genuine feel for their live show.
