Cowboys may hail from Central Florida, but the band's origins extend from
Nashville to the Canadian border and overseas to Bulgaria. .
Each member brings a flavor of their regional music culture and influences
to complete the foundation of the group's music
The sound is a mix of folk, traditional string band, and roots music topped
off with retro country gravy. Formed in 1998, the band's present line
up includes Craig Roy on upright bass, backing vocals, and accordion,
George Dimitrov on lead guitar and backing vocals, Joseph Martens on lead
vocals and acoustic guitar, and Marc Lewis on drums.
