Come spring break-up, a lot of cowboys east of the Rockies head west to get the blood and the spirit moving again.
Calgary s Cowpuncher is headed in the same direction, but don t expect the music to match the rustic name. We re more rock n roll these days, explained Matt Olah. It works to our advantage since we can play more venues. We can walk on both sides of the fence.
The band kicks off a Western Canadian tour Thursday, April 21 at Pogue Mahone, their Kamloops debut.
Olah - a former TRU student in its UCC days - is the founder and front man for Cowpuncher (an old term meaning cowboy), a seven-man band with their self-described Heartbreak Honkytonk Rock n Roll Show.
