July 15th – The New City Cowboys
The New City Cowboys are a group of country music lovin’ lifelong friends
based, of all places, just south of Boston, Massachusetts. They’ve been
performing for years as The Armstrong Brothers band to popular acclaim
throughout the South Shore since the 1980’s. But they love the new music
coming out of Nashville so much that five years ago they formed their new
band, The New City Cowboys, to bring the “New Nashville Sound” to the
Boston area. Their goal is to make sure that you have as good a time
listening to their favorite country music as they do performing it for you!
The New City Cowboys are: Jim and Joe Armstrong, Bill Holbrook, as well as
occasional visiting musicians and longtime ‘friends of the band”,
performing the country music you love from the likes of Kenny Chesney,
Jason Aldean, Eric Church, and others.
