If you went into mourning when country-twang band Two Dollar Pistols broke up in 2008, it’s time to put away the somber black cowboy attire – John Howie Jr. is back and ready to blow you away.

Howie’s new band, the Rosewood Bluff, comprised of drummer Matt Brown, bassist Billie Feather, guitarist Tim Shearer and Nathan Golub on pedal steel, brings together a sound that is more country-rock than the Pistols’ twang on their debut full-length album Leaving Yesterday.

While the album will find itself in heavy rotation on whatever music player you choose to indulge in, nothing will allow their music’s honky-tonk shuffles to find their way into your heart quite like hearing them live.

John Howie Jr. and the Rosewood Bluff will be at The Cave on Jan. 27, so wear your finest cowboy duds and come out to see what is sure to be a fantastic show.
Doors open at 8 p.m.
