Bring together a group of musicians with a broad spectrum of tastes and influences and you’ll likely hear discord. But add their diverse array of life experiences to the mix and suddenly their differences start to complement each other. So it is with Tampa, Florida-based band, Soul Circus Cowboys. Their eclectic blend of musical styles and roads traveled make them one of the most unique new bands on the touring circuit. “I found the best musicians in the area,” boasts Soul Circus Cowboys founder Billy McKnight, of his band mates. “And I do believe they are THE best musicians.” “We are all multi-instrumental and have been playing music on the professional level for years,” adds drummer Jason Alfano. “We all work to make each other sound good.” McKnight formed Soul Circus Cowboys in 2009, after several trips to Nashville during which he wrote songs with renowned artist/writer/musician Henry Paul, a founding member of 90s super group, Blackhawk. When McKnight returned to Tampa with that wealth of new material, he quickly set about searching for players he thought could breathe life into those new songs. In addition to Alfano, McKnight drafted Michael Bach to break it down on bass, Terry Cole and Stephen Haendiges to define the band’s signature guitar licks, and Greg Holt to fire up his fiddle. Before long, they recorded their debut album, Love’s Like A Rodeo. Soul Circus Cowboys’ first single, Lay It Down, quickly established the band as a musical force to be reckoned with. Critics and fans praised the song for its message and authenticity, the band for its astute musicianship and the album as a collection of well-told stories, each crafted by songwriters who’ve “been there – done that.” The video for Lay It Down became a fan favorite on country music video channels, including Great American Country (GAC) and Country Music Television (CMT). Love’s Like A Rodeo defined Soul Circus Cowboys’ signature sound by showcasing it as a brand new, high-performance, fuel-injected form of Southern Rock. Each track gives listeners a deeply personal peek at the raw honesty of each band members life of lessons learned the hard way. The album also showcases the band’s versatility, and McKnight’s previously under-appreciated vocal prowess. Soul Circus Cowboy’s new album, That’s The Way We Roll offers an equally eclectic combination of sounds, styles and stories, all written (or co-written) by McKnight, the master storyteller. From the intense vocal delivery and to-the-point lyrics of She’s A Lot Like Whiskey to the emotionally wrenching, instrumentally charged If You’re Gonna Leave; That’s The Way We Roll rounds off the band’s rough edges, exposing a more polished, yet gutsier, grittier kind of country rock. That’s The Way We Roll is a grown-up record that blasts through musical styles and genres, and offers something for just about every musical taste. Best of all, this album proves that the paths each member of Soul Circus Cowboys took to achieve their individual musical dreams have now merged into a single stretch of road that is certain to lead to an even greater level of band success. They’re thoroughly genuine. They’re phenomenally Talented. They’re the Soul Circus Cowboys.
