Cowboy Mouth

First time listened to Laith Al-Saadi and I was stunned with the amazing quality of the performance. I will definitely see them again. Cowboy Mouth was, as always, amazing! I come back for their show every time they are in town. Their positive energy, the way they engage the audience and uplifting message in their lyrics is unforgettable. You always want to come back for another show!!!!!

Cowboy Mouth! What can I say, Fred and crew rocked the Founders room. I was jumping and dancing the whole time. A great intimate venue, fist bumps and high-fives to the band included!

Took family including 16 and 12 year daughters who are big fans of Cowboy Mouth. Missed opening band but had a rail on he balcony all night. Vocals were sometimes hard to hear. But their show was AWESOME. My 12 yr old got invited on stage for final song to play the drums. Drinks were gold and fast. I think since it was a Thursday night had an affect. Don't pass up seeing this band live.

It was very crowded with overpriced food and drinks. No crowd control and no signs made it very hard to get to the reserved seating section. Loverboy was great. Billy Squier had sound problems. He also spent more time playing songs no one knew and had way too many jam fest on the guitar instead of playing songs people really wanted to hear. We left after an hour and a half. Many people left before us and several in the crowd were complaining.

This was a great night....Bring back the 80's..what great music. Loverboy rocked the crowd. Billy Squier was great also.

I only caught Loverboy and Billy Squier. Loverboy was the middle act. Mike Reno has had trouble sounding even good in the past. That was not a problem today! He had great volume and range. The crowd was smaller than that for Squier, but it was so much more fun. The band played crowd favorites with lots of energy. Paul Dean kicked ass on guitar, and the bass was a solid player. Matt Frenette was phenomenal manning the drums, giving all he had. Doug Johnson put great emotion into keyboard and backup vocals. I only wish Mike Reno would have had a little more enthusiasm, but that was the only detractor to a great 80-90 minute show. Granted, Squier is an awesome guitarist. He is still extremely skilled without doubt. However, I did not pay to go to a jam session. Several songs ran 7-10 minutes with the guitar solos. When he would let the audience sing out the words, not many knew what to sing. That should have been a hint to stop trying the sing-a-long. Still, it continued to be an uncomfortable reality. He honestly did not seem excited to be playing. It had the feel of, "This is my job, and my heart is not into entertaining these people. I will entertain myself." We ended up leaving soon after the encore started. Loverboy is a summer festival favorite, and I would have loved to have another 30 minutes if they could give it. Why weren't the B.C. boys the headliners? I simply do not understand. My rating would have been at least four stars if they could have closed out the night with some well-known driving hits, or even something from their latest album, "Just Getting Started". If Squier headlines again, count me out.

seating tickets were a great value. could see band perfect

Loverboy rocked the stage. The $30 tickets (plus ticketmaster's fees...) were up close and personal. The $5 tickets were very close as well if you could nudge your way to the front. We all had a great time and Loverboy sounded as good as they ever have.

We arrived to see Cowboy Mouth, Loverboy and Billy Squier. Cowboy Mouth really knew how to have fun and get the audience involved!!! They were so good! I am a new fan!! Loverboy was good but too much bass and just about knocked us out of our seats. But the highlight of the night was Billy Squier!! He did not disappoint and played for a long time. Great show!

Cowboy Mouth was great fun! Loverboy rocked the house! Billy Squier was less than satisfying! It was like he just wanted to sit up on stage and rock out with the boys than to entertain the crowd. He didn't play much music that anyone recognized and people were all leaving early. He was a disappointment, but the other two ROCKED OUT!!!

What an outstanding energetic show! Band should be more nationally recognized then they currently are.

Cowboy Mouth is as much fun today as they were when I use to watch them in the bar scene back in Louisiana. If ever you want to just have a good time and leave feeling good, Cowboy Mouth is the band to go see. One of the best crowd involving bands ever. If you tell yourself that your true music fan then you will love seeing Cowboy Mouth each and everytime you see them. Keep it up guys may you play on forever. "LAISSEZ LES BONS TEMPS ROULER!!!"

Cowboy Mouth is awesome! I love Fred and the gang. Their energy is limitless and I see them every time they are in town.

This was one of the most exhilarating concerts I have ever been to in my life. Cowboy Mouth makes you believe that life is this one big party of fun and your time in their House will be remembered fondly for a long time. I have seen over 300 concerts in my ancient time and they shot into the top ten that night. If you really belive in the power of the Mouth, you will be rewarded with a night of clapping, dancing, and screaming for the sheer fun of it. I went with my 19 year old son and he had the same incredible time. He was mad that he didn't drag his friends with him. Just like when Zappa plays Zappa come to town, when Cowboy Mouth comes again, I'll be buying a ticket not only for myself, but for my brother as well. Go...believe...enjoy you red cake with your red spoon.

Fred on the drums at the front of the stage. The entire place like putty in his hands as he molds us with his chants of "Get Closer, get closer" and "Now everybody scream!!!" I've been hundreds possibly thousands of concerts and nobody is a better showman on the small stage than Fred. The rest of the band is phenomenal and all of them get into the show. If you want to see a great live concert....Go see Cowboy Mouth!!!

If you have never seen Cowboy Mouth live, you have missed one of the most entertaining bands aound! The lead singerplays the drums like a mad maniac with his energy spraying off him and all over the crowd! He reminds me of a Chris Farley with an amazing voice ! I can guarantee a good time no matter what type of music you like!

High energy, I love how Fred gets the audience as involved as he is. So much fun! Will definitely go every time they are here!

Probably my 15th time seeing Cowboy Mouth and they never disappoint! They put on a great show.

I've seen the band a number of times .. musically they were tight, energy level excellent. Amazing Fred can maintain that intensity at his age ;) .. Look forward to seeing them at Park Tavern in the Spring. Enjoyed Fred in audience demanding New-Orleans type participation from the crowd. Don't attend a CBM show and plan to sit on your hands.

Cowboy Mouth is great. The most crowd participation band around. Guaranteed good time for all. So if you want to have a kick azz time ....The name of the band is COWBOY MOUTH!

Cowboy Mouth never disappoints and never gets old. Great show and just love the energy they bring. If you don't enjoy the show something is wrong with you. The opening band left much to be desired. If you ever want to see what old rockers look like still playing live shows which contain the same riff in every song they play .. Check out El Camino. The car used to be cool, just like this band.

The Band rocked the house as always, red spoons flying, everyone dancing - NOLA rock and roll at its best!! Thanks Fred and others - always lifts my spirits and helps me "Let it Go"!!!

As expected, Fred, John, Brian and Matt rocked the house, they never disappoint!!!!!

This was my 7th Cowboy Mouth Show and they are always great and full of energy. I brought my 10 year old twin daugters and their friend Emma Rose. Fred stopped the show to ask them their names and it was Emma Rose's birthday. For Jenny Says all 3 were invited on stage to play with Fred.

Incredible live show. Great music and unbelievable energy from Fred and the band

As always, Cowboy Mouth put on an outstanding show. It was constant high energy crowd participation from beginning to end. If you have never been to a Cowboy Mouth show, you are missing out. Fred was on another level!!

My wife and I were invited to go see this band we never heard of but we're open minded and looked forward to spending time with a couple of our friends that we had not met up with for some time. The experience was unforgettable, amazing show with fantastic energy, we are now hooked. Looking forward to their next show in Houston. The music, the personality of the band and the energy was amazing.

Unbelievable show as always. If you haven't seen them live yet, you haven't felt alive! Highly recommend this show to any who like live music and love to Let It Go and live life to the fullest!!

I have never been let down at a Cowboy Mouth concert, and this was no exception. The guys put on a great show.

Thought the band was great ! It felt rushed, like the casino didn't want us in there long or hanging around. Show was fun, entertaining, not too smoky!!!

Cowboy Mouth as usual blew the roof off as usual. The newest bass player in a long line of bass players seemed to fit right in and never missed a beat. I've been going to Cowboy Mouth shows since 1992 and although I feel like they lost a great deal when Paul Sanchez was removed from the band Fred and JTG still put on a hell of a show with Fred up his usual antics. My only issue and I guess I knew this going in but casinos need to stop limiting the time that bands can perform. Even though CM ignored the time constraints to a degree the show was still much too short and I will probably not attend another casino show with the exception of reunion type bands that I see for nostalgic reasons.

The energy of Cowboy Mouth is second to none. Great show! Always feel great after a Cowboy Mouth show!

This was not only amazing concert, but atmosphere and service. We live in NYC and now want to come back here more often!

Cowboy Mouth puts on a good, high energy show. The smaller venue (originally expected to be in the main Center Stage venue, but was instead in a small room upstairs), I think the more intimate setting without seating may have been better for this band and audience. I would have enjoyed it much more if I was twenty years younger. It was a very positive, energetic show. Fred would have kept going all night if he was allowed.

Consistenly excellent live band! eleventh time seeing them.

Cowboy Mouth was and is the perennial party band. Fred and the band will never let you down. Mr. LeBlanc finds a way to keep crowd participation flowing and the music pumping.

Cowboy Mouth is always a very energetic show, but this show felt exactly like the last time I saw them years ago. Same songs. Same Fred saying the same things. If you're looking to relive the Cowboy Mouth of the late 90's, this is for you. If you're looking for a band that reinvents itself, you'll be disappointed.

Amazing show and venue. Crowd was into it from beginning to end. Fred and the rest of the band fed off our vibes and played like they never played before....Each time I see them, they get better and better and I feel refreshed when they are done.....

Cowboy Mouth really got everyone worked up right from the start. If you have ever been to a CM show you know what I mean. Fred was in great form as was Matt and JTG and Brian fits right in. Standing in the front row against the stage between Fred and Brian was great and they all really play to the audience. Almost 2 full hours of jumping and screaming. I couldn't ask for anything more. I can't wait to see them again!

Good times with Cowboy Mouth!. Fun band that kept the crowd jumping. I got tired of the drummer's antics (highly animated!!), but worth seeing.

You can't not have a great time at a Cowboy Mouth concert. This is the 3rd time I've seen them, first time in NYC. They won't let you just stand there and listen, you have to dance, jump, and sing. Fantastic concert.

This is the first time we saw Cowboy Mouth. We really enjoyed them and had a great time. I would definitley go see them again and recommend everyone to go see them. They really get the crowd into their concerts.

Cowboy Mouth plays with such a positive vibe and will such an interactive, fun crowd EVERY time I see them that I can't help, but leave smiling and feeling better than when I arrived.

Cowboy Mouth always puts on great show. One of the most interactive concerts you will go to.

Great concert. Cowboy Mouth once again excels. Hope the Nugget brings them back again soon.

Cowboy Mouth are a great entertainers. They keep their audience interested and involved the whole time! I love their shows!!!!

it was a standard awesome Cowboy Mouth show - they never have a bad one. However i was kind of bummed that they excluded a couple tracks that they have played at like every show since the album Voodoo Shoppe came out

Being one of the most interactive DJ's in the industry, I can speak first hand that this performance is the best in the music world!! I have entertained almost every weekend for the last 35 years and I usually fill a notepad with new ideas by the end of a Cowboy Mouth show. Once you see them once, you will be back again and again like me!!

This was my 7 year old daughters first Cowboy Mouth concert. She has been waiting for so long to be old enough to see them. They did not disappoint! It was everything I hoped it would be for her. Fred was adorably attentive to her after the show and the band signed her Doc Marten's! She will temper that night forever and will always remain a fan. I, too, will always remember that night with my daughter. Thank you Cowboy Mouth for giving us an inspirational and positive music experience.

This show was fantastic, as it always is. This venue was cool. Really spacious with multiple bars. The band was full of energy and super fun, the crowd was excited and responsive. Don't forget your red spoons! (P.S. I followed them to 3 of the 4 shows they played this weekend, it's more than worth the travel and time commitment every time.)

Bar none the best live show you can see. If you haven't seen Cowboy Mouth, see them. If you have, see them again!!

Cowboy mouth once again put on a high energy, everyone involved rock and roll ectasy of a Mardi Gras party in a concert. You can't help but feel good during the show and the feeling lasts for weeks after you see them. There is nothing like seeing Cowboy Mouth live. You will never find a better concert experience!

I experienced a CM show for the first time in New Orleans. You show up for a show and catch the opening act and think to yourself, "that was nice, good music, etc." then wait a little bit until you experience the band you came to see. There is non-stop pure energy from the start the moment the lights go down and Fred starts on the drums! Matt, John Thomas, and Cassandra kick in followed up by Fred belting out a song that can motivate the dead to wake up! There is no sitting down at a CM show! If you do manage to sit, be prepared for Fred to point you out in the crowd and energize you out of your chair! You will be dancing, you will feel good vibes from the band as well as the crowd around you, and you will be smiling from start to end of show! When the lights come up, each member of the band will be looking forward to meeting you in person. Go up to them and don't be shy!

The advertising for this event was non-existent. The opening acts and warm up were laughable. And the attendance was terrible. When the concert finally started, there wasn't enough of a crowd to fill the first 3 rows. There was less than 100 people in attendance. And then Cowboy Mouth started to play... If you have never seen them live, do yourself a favor and go seek them out. It is a religious experience. I've never seen anything like them. I guarantee that EVERY person in attendance had the time of their lives and felt like they just saw the best show in earth. What a band!

Great time! This was my first time to see Cowboy Mouth. Had friends who came with- who have seen them in New Orleans. Cowboy Mouth lived up to what my friends were telling me about them. I would recommend to see this band if you ever get the chance.

I celebrated my birthday with Cowboy Mouth! Awesome show and the Miggs rocked it as well. They definetly have some new fans!!!

Overall this show was a blast! Both bands were highly interactive with the audience, always a plus in my book. Cowboy Mouth is a band with lots of energy. Mainly depending on the drummer/front man for this. Not much was said from the rest of the band during the show, kinda reminded me of Van Halen w/ David Lee Roth and a New Orleans edge. Lots of fun!

Cowboy Mouth always puts on a great show! Fred and crew provide the best live show you'll ever see. The House of Blues provides a great venue to get right up close and get sweated on by Fred. The Mardi Gras tour is a can't miss. This was the night before the Saints won the Super Bowl, the band was extra pumped for the show!

I´m from Germany and it was the very first time to see Cowboy Mouth live, have been really impressed....great band with great musicians...

Cowboy Mouth brought in the New Year like no other band could! The concert kicked off their 2010 Mardi Gras tour. The band went on at 10:30pm and rocked straight on through until 12:30am. Cowboy Mouth is one of the best live shows anyone could ever hope to see. The band will keep you moving all night long and you will leave feeling great! I highly recommend this show to anyone!

I have seen these guys at huge venues (like Jazz Fest) and tiny ones like Mojo's and they always have the same HUGE energy! Last night they played all of my favorites (new and old) and even took requests! Still hoarse from screaming. If you're anywhere near these guys- they're a MUST SEE. In fact, I might have to drive to KC tonight and see them again!

I have seen Cowboy Mouth in concert atleast a half dozen times, mostly in Memphis and twice at the Tractor Tavern. Everyone i take to see them becomes an instant fan. It really is the best show I have seen!

The show was great. Anyone who has not seen one of their live shows is missing a fun time. They give one of the best live shows around. It was the first time I had seen them in an indoor venue and wondered how they would translate to an indoor show. it took about 2 minutes to ally my fears, they were as much fun to experience in as out. They don"t ask that you participate in their act but demand it. If you cannot get jazzed up for one of their shows there is no hope for you. You will enjoy the show and make new friends. Don't miss it if you can, well worth the time. Don't forget the red spoons.

Cowboy Mouth never fails to deliver - and what a great venue this was. Might have been the first CM show I've seen that wasn't GA, which means I was able to get right up to the stage without having to squeeze past my fellow fans. Griff was literally within arms' reach! If you haven't seen Cowboy Mouth before, put them on your bucket list - there aren't many bands in their league when it comes to making you feel glad to be alive!

Cowboy Mouth clearly has some talent in the band. I first remember becoming aware of CM around 20 years ago. At the time, the drummer Fred's, antics were extremely entertaining. I saw a handful of shows over the years, the most recent having been 2011. It was fun enough and felt it was good entertainment for a 3rd date. Now seeing the band again in 2018 at the House of Blues with my now husband and we were entertained. However, we left a little early since the show was the same as what we had already seen. We just spent a week on the Rock Boat where CM played at least 3 shows. We heard Fred yelling, "The name of the band is Cowboy Mouth." and "Put your hands in the air." so many times it became a running joke. Other passengers were heard saying that they avoid CM shows because everyone is the same. While other artists switched up their playlists and played the same songs a few times over the course of the week, CM did the same thing over and over. I find it unfortunate that the band's musical abilities aren't utilized to entertain the audience. Fred's wild and crazy antics could be used to keep the audience motivated while the band showcased their catalog of music created over a couple decades. Instead, there are only glimpses of musical expertise between the audience being yelled at to put their hands in the air and scream. Again and again. . . .

As always, the show was #FAT ! Frigging Awesome Time ! Fred is the MAN ! Always engaging the crowd and making sure they enjoy the show as they should! Traveled from Philly to catch the show. 5 STARS only because there isn't an option for 6 stars! SK

If you haven't heard of Cowboy Mouth, you should check them out. Fantastic live band. Their front man and drummer gets the entire crowd riled up and rocking.

Cowboy Mouth brings the energy every single night. I've seen them a dozen times or so and hope to seem them a dozen more.

As always, they put on a high energy fun show. The set list has not changed in like 15 years and it's the same old. Although they have 3 new songs from the best of cd, none were played. I think it's time they pull out some of the really good older songs that they have not played in forever and add some or all of the new songs.

As usual Cowboy Mouth puts on an unbelievable show! The only Rock & Roll show where the audience is part of the show.

Fred LeBlanc knows how to get the crowd going and the crowd responded.

Sounds like I am exaggerating, but I am not. The ability of the band to inspire the crowd into total excitement can't be beat. Must see.

I came to learn that these guys are an institution in the music biz, with their own legion of reverential followers. I totally get why! This is fast-paced, hard-charging, good old rock n' roll, delivered to you by consummate showman Fred LeBlanc. There's not a lot of nuance here (although they are excellent musicians and some of the guitar work was outstanding), but it is non-stop entertainment. If you aren't jumping up and down and screaming "Cowboy Mouth" for at least part - if not all - of this show, then you might want to check your vitamin intake. Five stars for pure fun!

Cowboy Mouth put on another great performance! My husband and I had a BLAST!!!

Haven't seen them in many many years but Fred still has more energy than I could ever wish for. Great show!

Great band! Better live than in studio. I'm a fan since Dash Rip Rock and Red Rockers days. Changed my trip from Brazil just to go to the concert. Great energy! The name of the band is....

Best Live Band . . . EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is like an old-fashion Southern gospel revival. But replace "gospel" with "rock & roll. " To sit perfectly still throughout a CM concert, you have to be paralyzed or dead. This still may not matter. If rock & roll is a church, then Fred LeBlanc is its bishop, and Matt, Cass, and JTG are its acolytes.

Does not matter how old or young you are are, these guys will get you moving and keep you jumping. Great crowd, broad age range, die-hards and newbies alike got into the band. Left my voice and any hair that I had left @ the venue! Great time...

Seen Cowboy Mouth several times, but not in the past 2 years. I wasn't very impressed. New music wasn't very good, they altered some of their better songs (and not for the better), and it seemed like they chanted "the name of the band is Cowboy Mouth" more than they played actual songs. Hope it was just an off night for them and not the way they play shows these days. Also telling was that the upper deck at HOB Houston was practically empty.

I've seen these guys about 8 times over the years. Always a fun, high energy show. Sound was good. I like the House Of Blues. Staff there was great too. Surprised Fred didn't walk through the audience though. I love to introduce people to this band. Took a girl I recently started dating and she liked the show.

Great venue and audience participation at the House of Blues...Cowboy Mouth always puts on a fun show!

Cowboy Mouth is one of those excellent bands that consistently provides solid, polished music, but has never hit the mainstream like you would expect. Not only are they high energy, but their music takes life head on in both lyrics and delivery. Absolutely amazing every time! Catch one of their shows and you will be hooked forever!

Great show as always!! Hope they come back soon!! Been too long since they were here last!!

First time - was so much fun! Great interaction and talent!

And the name of the Band is .......? These guys, (and gal ) really put on a great show. And it IS A SHOW, not just a performance.

Cowboy Mouth is one of my favorite concerts to go to!!!! Since my birthday fell on Fat Tuesday this year I knew right away that I was going to go to this show as part of my birthday celebration. Cowboy Mouth is always so much fun!!!!!!

no better way to end Mardi Gras than with Cowboy Mouth at the House of Blues. The band was great! They came out ready to rock! I can't believe it is possible, but they looked to be having more fun the me. Even though some bozos kept throwing beads all night, the band kept smiling. They played for 2 hours, pausing briefly for 2 marraige proposals.

Cowboy Mouth puts on an amazing show! They're energy is infectious and the crowd was into it the whole time. I would DEFINITELY go see them again.

We have gone to see them for the last three years at House of Blues for Mardi Gras. They were as great as ever. The entire show was great! Fred sounded awesome.

Cowyboymouth never let's you down! Always a fun show. These guys are the best live show you will ever see!

This band never slows down. They don't allow you to rest. Its non stop fun

Was very impressed from the.opening numbers. The montage of their hits was a wonderful teaser. The venue, however, left a lot to be desired. Cowboy Mouth is a very engaging band that interacts with the audience. The assigned seats and table/booth set up of Potawanomi really segregated the audience. Fred went beyond expectations by climbing across booths to get the Audience moving. The energy could be felt to the back of the balcony.

Very small venue, but didn't matter. Cowboy Mouth put on an amazing show likw always.

Cowboy Mouth rocked as usuall. The concert was awesome. Can't wait to see them again.

One of my favorite bands in one of my favorite music venues!

Best live band ever. I am never disappointed in a Cowboy Mouth show. You leave wanting more and more. I cannot wait until they come back to Chicago again!

As always, Cowboy Mouth rocked the house! HoB was a great venue!

Never a dull moment at CM! Brought friends that saw them for the first time and they vowed to never miss them in Chicago again.

Cowboy Mouth isn't exotic or fancy just good plain FUN!
