Hippies And Cowboys are a rock ’n soul band, originating in Nashville TN. Bringing back a taste of southern rock, blues, and soul, it’s a sound that has defied the test of time. Inspiration comes from the likes of Sam and Dave, The Blues Brothers, Booker T & The MG’s, Otis Redding, and Marvin Gaye, to Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Eagles, The Beatles, Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones and CCR.

Early tracks were recorded in the iconic studios of Muscle Shoals, Alabama: Fame, East Avalon, and Noise Block. This music was captured on the album Live At Fox & Locke, and released on vinyl in October 2023.

The band huddled up at Purple House studio in Lieper’s Fork TN, later that same year. From those sessions sprang their first studio release, an EP of six songs called Fork In The Road, delivered to the world on vinyl, CD, & digital late 2024. Watch the tour calendar for dates that will take the band into clubs and major festivals across the US and Europe throughout 2025.

Hippies & Cowboys will capture attention through their skillful blend of country music, Southern rock and soul.  The band’s current momentum out of Nashville, TN is the result of their high energy live shows and soaring vocals from frontman, Aaron Spalding. 
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 became the driving force behind Hippies and Cowboys and is, hands down, one of the best rock singers in the business right now.
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.” 
The timeless sound of Hippies and Cowboys generates a universal appeal, but what so many of their fans have come to know and love about them is the once in a lifetime experience of the electric energy emanating from the stage when they perform. This is a band you don’t want to miss!
