Tommy Stinson's Cowboys in the Campfire at Oxbow in Portland ME

Singer, songwriter, sideman, and frontman—Tommy Stinson has worn many hats over the course of his remarkable 40-year musical journey. A founding member of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame-nominated band The Replacements, Stinson began performing with the group at just 12 years old and remained a key part of its legendary 11-year run. After the band’s breakup, he went on to lead his own critically acclaimed outfits, Bash & Pop and Perfect. For more than a decade, he also held down bass duties as Axl Rose’s right-hand man in Guns N’ Roses.In 2017, after a celebrated Replacements reunion, Stinson revived Bash & Pop and released the widely praised Anything Could Happen on Fat Possum Records. Then in 2022, he teamed up with veteran Philadelphia guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Chip Roberts to form Cowboys in the Campfire. Born out of the duo’s rootsy songwriting partnership—which had already shaped Stinson’s One Man Mutiny and Bash & Pop’s Anything Could Happen—the new project marked another creative evolution. Last year, Cowboys in the Campfire released their debut LP, Wronger, further expanding Stinson’s ever-evolving musical legacy.

Cowboys in the Campfire is a 3 piece band comprised of Tommy Stinson on lead vocals and acoustic guitar, Chip Roberts on electric guitar and slide and Chops La Conte on upright bass and background vocals.American Highways praise the Cowboys in the Campfire debut: "Wronger is equal parts Americana, pop, folk, Rockabilly and classic country. The album perfectly marries Stinson’s punk rock bona fides with his obvious love for the telecaster twang of the Outlaw Country founders."Special Guest: Plague Dad <a href="https://plague.dad/plague-dad-onesheet" title="https://plague.dad/plague-dad-onesheet" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://plague.dad/plague-dad-onesheet</a>Doors 7pm Music starts at 7:30
