Cowboy Diplomacy: "May Day" - KUT & KUTX Studios

Summary

What do you get when you cross RHCP, Pearl Jam, a bit of Zeppelin and Cash, some James Brown and a pinch of Freddie King? Well, other than a potpourri of eclectic music, you end up with the blues-imbued southern alternative rock quartet Cowboy Diplomacy. These rustic-leaning rockers only dropped their debut single in 2017 but have already made a decidedly rugged mark on the Austin music scene.

Cowboy Diplomacy is about to release their first ever full-length Burn Down The Road, and before you mosey on down to Empire Control Room for the release show tomorrow night get that western wick lit with “May Day”!
