"It's hot, jazzy and has a drawl!" San Francisco Chronicle

Mix swingin' grooves, thrilling riffs, sweet and hot vocals, acoustic western sensibilities and tons of fun and you have only begun to describe Cow Bop. Formed in 2003 by internationally-acclaimed guitarist Bruce Forman, this western bebop band has toured extensively throughout the country, exciting audiences with their unique brand of American music. In 2004, Cow Bop won the Route 66 Challenge, traveling the length of the storied road having departed with a mere $100 and no scheduled gigs. Their CD, Swingin' Out West, released in 2004, charted on Americana, Jazz, College and Adult Contemporary radio stations. In 2008, Cow Bop followed up with Route 66 in commeration of their third trek across the storied route. Their new release, Too Hick for the Room, is already garnering lots of excitement, thrilling people with swing herding, tune wranglin and mind-boggling genre-bending! Catch Bruce's playing featured in Clint Eastwood's Academy Award-winning film, Million Dollar Baby, and his newest release Hereafter.

and not go to the bathroom once!" Paul Zarzyski

In any discussion of the top acts on today’s western-swing scene, Cow Bop had better be in the conversation.
