Cowboyfrokost rides without a map or compass through the wild west of music, stopping wherever the wind drops them off, whether it’s country, americana, singer-songwriter or pop. As modern cowboys, they describe themselves as being more on the “looking after the cows” side of cowboy life than the bandit side. The band started at a garden party, but now they write songs with storytelling, warm harmonies and different references that all six band members grew up with.
After five years of covering everything with a touch of country, Cowboyfrokost took the leap to their own material this autumn. The debut EP ‘Order Up!’ marks the start of the band’s own fully Texan universe, where classic country and americana references meet pop and Scandinavian melodies. ‘Order Up!’ is both a first step and a promise of more, and the band has already made its mark as a live band with a distinct sound and identity.
Cowboyfrokost is based in Oslo, but the band’s roots stretch across large parts of southeastern Norway, from Kristiansand, Farsund and Grimstad in the south, via Oslo and Fredrikstad. The band consists of Frida Pernille Johannessen, Ingrid Akselsen, Selma van der Hagen, Oscar B. Berg, Eirik Øverby Vist and Eirik Buflaten, who all grew up with different views on country music, but with the same wish to spread hoedowns to the people.
