Hollywood Cowboy + Band in Nashville, TN

SEEKING

ABOUT

Blending and transcending nearly every popular music style of the past 20 years, Hollywood Cowboy is a four-piece Southern juggernaut that appeals to a curious mix of Skoal-dipping rednecks, pseudo-intellectual college students, and, of course, beautiful women. And through a wild coincidence, Hollywood Cowboy’s roots truly lie with the original Hollywood Cowboy, Gene Autry. The band’s front man and principal songwriter, Nick Autry, is a long-lost relative of the singing hero of the silver screen, and is even a native of Autryville, North Carolina. Encouraged by some of Nashville’s finest songwriters, and by encounters with everyone from members of Lynyrd Skynyrd to associates of Garth Brooks, Autry writes genre-bending songs that can fit as well in a ten-table honky-tonk as they can on a main stage at Bonnaroo.

Hollywood Cowboy guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Steve Caron, a southpaw with a custom-made Gibson Les Paul, is a New Englander who almost became a doctor. Caron instead chose a pick over a scalpel, following the trails blazed by such heroes as U2, Clapton and Pearl Jam in achieving what he calls “an odd combination of alternative, blues, punk, jazz and emo.” Judging by the reactions of the standing-room-only crowds, Caron’s “odd combination” works well for Hollywood Cowboy.

Having appeared at events with the likes of everyone from Rob Thomas to Jewel to Travis Tritt, Hollywood Cowboy has taken the South by storm, with appearances in New York, Los Angeles and abroad. Hollywood Cowboy is rock ‘n’ roll undefined, at least for now. But it won’t be long before Hollywood Cowboy becomes the definition of rock ‘n’ roll.
