The Cowpokes are an authentic Country & Western two-step dance band that primarily performs songs from the 1940s to the 1960s, with a throwback playing style that showcase the timeless hits of artists such as Ray Price, Mel Tillis, Webb Pierce, Marty Robbins, Bob Wills, and Buck Owens as well as original songs written by members of the band. The band showcases the music of the golden era of country music with lively performances, evident in their classic western performance outfits that are as fun as their live shows themselves.

Tyler James Kelly makes 1970s-inspired country music for the modern world. It's a warm, lived-in sound, created by a longtime songwriter who's happy to be a torchbearer for the music that's always inspired him.

Hailed by Rolling Stone as a "deft chicken-pickin' guitarist" with a "head-turner" live show, Tyler-James Kelly sees Dream River as more than just an introduction to his solo career. He views the album as a part of something much bigger. It's a celebration of the music that's inspired generations of songwriters, pickers, and fans, performed by a songwriter who's happy to wear his influences on his sleeve. The way Kelly sees it, he's just carrying the tradition forward.

"I just want to be a torch holder for something that's very American — something that means the world to me and my community of country music lovers," he says. "Country was originally called folk music. It's music for the people. It's stories about life. That's all I'm trying to be a part of."
