Hippies And Cowboys are a powerhouse rock 'n soul band hailing from Nashville, TN, bringing back the grit, groove, and raw energy of classic Southern rock with a modern twist. Their electrifying blend of blues, soul, and rock 'n' roll channels the timeless influences of legends like Sam & Dave, The Blues Brothers, Booker T. & The MG's, Otis Redding, and Marvin Gaye, while embracing the stadium-sized swagger of Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Eagles, The Rolling Stones, and Tom Petty.

From their early recordings in the legendary studios - such as FAME in Muscle Shoals, East Avalon, and Noise Block-to their explosive live performances, Hippies And Cowboys have quickly become one of the most talked-about rising acts in the Southern rock revival. Their debut album, Live at Fox and Locke (2023), captured the raw energy of their live show, earning critical acclaim and setting the stage for their breakout. The follow-up EP, Fork in the Road, solidified their reputation with a gritty, hard-hitting collection of songs that showcase their deep Southern roots and undeniable musicianship. Hippies and Cowboys has also been the house band at Kid Rock's Honky Tonk on Broadway in downtown Nashville for numerous years which has allowed them an extensive repertoire of songs and abilities.

Hippies And Cowboys have taken their high-energy show across the country, playing at major festivals like Pilgrimage Festival and Bristol Rhythm & Roots Revival. They've shared the stage with rock and country royalty, opening for acts like Goo Goo Dolls, Blackberry Smoke, Atlanta Rhythm Section, and even Bon Jovi at the grand opening of his Nashville bar. Their relentless touring schedule and electrifying performances have built them a loyal following, earning them a reputation as one of the most exciting live bands on the circuit. In 2025, they are slated to perform at Chinook Festival, Pilgimage Festival, Bristol Rhythm & Roots Revival, WEFest, and much more with plans to tour Europe in October 2025.

Their rise hasn't gone unnoticed-Hippies And Cowboys have been featured in Rolling Stone, People Magazine, and Paste Magazine, solidifying their place as a band to watch in the evolving Southern rock landscape. As they continue to carve their own path, Hippies And Cowboys are proving that the spirit of rock 'n' roll is alive and well, and they're here to take it to the next level.

It’s not every day we get to watch the rapid rise of an American rock ‘n’ roll band, from performing as an unknown at an open mic night to soon after selling out the venue multiple times, then moving rapidly to major stages.

With Hippies & Cowboys, we are witness to what appears to be a meteoric rise, including a growing loyal fanbase of “Dreamers,’ as their tribe is called. Hippies & Cowboys, feeling the vibrations of momentum after their discovery at Fox & Locke’s Open Mic Night, released a live album recorded at one of their sold-out shows at Fox & Locke, and soon was one of the major stages at Pilgrimage Festival, one of the most popular music events in the eastern half of the U.S. They had already been tapped as regulars at Kid Rock’s place on Lower Broadway in Nashville, stirring up the crowd with energy to burn.

Important performances keeping the band on the rise include opening for Blackberry Smoke, their 2nd round at Pilgrimage, joining the roster at 2024’s Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion, headlining the 55th Swampaversary in Muscle Shoals, and their first showcase in another music town, Austin, TX.

Hippies & Cowboys will release their debut single “Circle Back Around” on May 17, the same night they open for Blackberry Smoke. The following night, they keep up the momentum with their sold-out show at Fox & Locke in Leiper’s Fork, and more. An EP follows soon.

Hippies & Cowboys Back Story:

The band’s discovery in Leiper’s Fork set their trajectory. The performance hit the bullseye - intense rock vocals, thanks to lead vocalist Aaron Sparling, an original song that connected with the audience, and young, new, rock blood that emanated energy from the stage like a modernized version of the best of 70’s rock.

Watching the band live is high energy on steroids. Sparling is the driving force, who is, hands down, one of the best rock singers in the business already.

At 23, Aaron Sparling made it to Nashville from Kokomo, IN. In Music City, he connected quickly to like-minded musicians and music-biz execs. He took his old soul and his golden rock voice to Muscle Shoals, AL to record in studios that helped launch the music of some of his heros.

Sparling credits The Beatles with his conversion to rock ‘n’ roll. “The Beatles changed everything for me. Before then, I was into the Memphis country/blues sound, which is great, too. But as soon as I really got into The Beatles, I dove deep into the wonders of rock ‘n’ roll music and it changed my life forever,” Sparling said.

Cut-to a night in his hometown of Kokomo, at the Kokomo Country Palace, when Aaron heard the sound he’d been looking for – one of the tightest bands in music. He met up with them after the gig, introduced himself and said to the drummer Scott Metko, “I’ll be back in three months to hire ya’ll to be my band.” “Yea, right,” Scott thought.

 

Three months later, Aaron was back and hired the band.

 

Hippies & Cowboys just launched the live album they recorded at Fox & Locke, are building fans at Kid Rock’s, and playing major festivals. The performance at Pilgrimage led to national media coverage in People Magazine, multiple high-profile social media influencer posts, and measurable increase in the band’s fanbase.

The music is a cross between country and Southern, rock and soul that gives Hippies & Cowboys a universal appeal. Their name says a lot about their musical range.

 

Something else, though. These guys are the real deal. An unusual genuineness exudes from the stage: accessibility of the band members to fans. That collective personality, a rarity in rock, is led by Aaron Sparling. He’s quite possibly one of the nicest guys in the business.

When asked what drives him, Sparling says, “The fans. Pure and simple. Seeing the joy that music brings to people and feeling that excitement of creation...it gives me a way to express my feelings or opinions freely. I love to see the enjoyment on people’s faces when I sing a song, that feeling of amazement, joy, and high energy.”

Keep watching these guys. You heard it here first.
