Say Hello To Us

By: Phil G, Voodoo Cowboys ~ Lead Vocals

Hi all, Phil G. here and I wanted to send out a thank you to all of the fans who have been supporting the Voodoo Cowboys. I know when I go to a show to see a favorite band, local or not, sometimes it can be tough to get a minute with them and say hello. Well I'm here to tell you that we LOVE our fans and we hope that when you come to a show, you know that you are more than welcome to come on up to us and say hi or grab a picture with us. We even have a special place to post pictures of our fans right on our myspace page.

One of the most important things to us as a band is that we make our fans happy. We always try to sound the best that we can and we always try to keep as current as possible with the music that we play. Either way, we wouldn't be moving onward and upward if it wasn't in part for the support of our fans. Do you want to hear us play a specific song? Leave us a comment right here and we will do our best to learn it if we don't know it already. We've been known to play a fan's favorite song a time or two. No matter what, we want you to have a great time at our shows even if you're from out of town.

We want you to be able to come and enjoy some rockin country music and dance with us so you can go home and tell your friends and family that you had a great time with the Voodoo Cowboys.

So come on out to one of our shows, you can find the calendar of events on myspace, at www.voodoocowboys.com and www.youtube.com/voodoocowboys. Thanks again to all of our fans for the support. We hope to have your continued support for a long time to come. We'll see you soon. See ya'll later.

Gigging as an “Older Man”

By: Scott Woodward, Voodoo Cowboys ~ Bass & Vocals

Doing gig’s as an older man has been very interesting to say the least. It presents a whole slew of things that I never thought would be an issue. The first thing that really bothers me is throbbing feet. This is something that has never been an issue but not it’s seems to be the norm. Different shoe’s with standing and running around all night on stage is taking a toll on my “dogs “

The next thing I noticed that happens often is muscle ache. Muscles I never knew I had hurt. Thank god for ibuprofen and Flexall!

IS IT BUSSINESS OR PLEASURE?

By: Scott Woodward, Voodoo Cowboys ~ Bass & Vocals

This is always a question band members have trouble. Is this a business or just some guys having fun? Make no mistake this is a business and it needs to be treated like one. At the end of the year all the places you have played will be sending you what’s called a 1099 form reporting all the money they paid you to the government. You will have to pay taxes on this money. You will be expected to show up on time and follow a schedule just like a real job. You will have load in times, Sound check times, Break times, and all venues have rules for just about everything. Welcome to the music business.
