The Blue Roses is a contemporary dance band with a profound love and passion for all things that make you move and/or groove. Based in Austin, their members have graced stages throughout the world and take their Texan-attitude with them everywhere they go.

With roots in soul and funk much like the Half Moons (their LA-based counterpart), their specialty lies in connecting the dots from the timeless sounds of Marvin Gaye to the modern soul of Sharon Jones. They seamlessly move between and mix up genres, all while keeping the dance floor alive and connected.  Despite their love of funk and soul, The Blue Roses repertoire list expands far beyond these narrow genres, moving through the decades to find songs that satisfy broader crowds of varying tastes and styles.

Cowboy Troy is the pioneer of hick hop and country rap. His first major album, Loco
Motive, was the first hick hop/country rap album to have major distribution on RAYBAW/
Warner Nashville. He’s grown as an artist. Cowboy Troy’s latest album, Songs from the Piney Woods (2023) gives the listener a window into Troy’s rendition of Texas country and traditional country. He spent time touring with Big & Rich, but but now tours on his own and is able to entertain with a full band show, guest DJ set or even serve as a celebrity bartender. Back in 2020, Troy released his four-part Galaxy project. Each EP contained four songs each. Many songs were very forward thinking in the Hick Hop genre but some of the songs had a retro feel in the vein of Texas swing. Looking for the right mix of country radio friendly songs and dance club shakers, Troy intends on keeping the party going. The native Texan continues to develop his artistry while exploring new topics and incorporating new sounds.
