The Happy Cowboys

Hans Westman is “The Happy Cowboys”, a song writer, musician and (sometimes) singer once based in Pittsburgh, PA, now in Gothenburg, Sweden, imagining arrangements of a live ensemble with guitars, bass, drums, percussion and vocals. Music and song writing has always been in Westman's DNA, yet not until now have things come into alignment for him to record and produce his compositions for a broader audience. “So, it's really about getting the music out and in front of the listening audience across the globe by connecting and sharing content digitally through the Internet, music streaming apps, social media, radio and the like. Exciting times for The Happy Cowboys!”, says Westman. Contemporary bands and artists The Happy Cowboys feels an affinity with: Khruangbin, Central Plains and west coast rock with the flare of Latin Lounge - Genres: rock, country, jazz, Latin, folk, modern psychedelia - Influences: Leo Kottke, Carlos Santana, Roy Buchanan, Jimi Hendrix, Larry Coryell, Duane Allman, Jeff Beck
