The Black Coffee Cowboys, Calgary’s Honky-tonk Heroes, were formed for one reason only - to make people shake, rattle, and roll. That’s three reasons, but you catch the drift. The Cowboys were created in 2004 by lead guitarist Earl Garnet, formerly of the Surefires, and stand-up bass player Robby Velvet. After releasing their critically acclaimed album "Hillbilly Angel", they fine-tuned their lineup by recruiting acoustic guitar player Deuce Frehley from the popular Calgary band Agriculture Club, and jazz drummer extrordinaire Slick Patsy.

Combining 1950’s rock and roll, country honky-tonk, and good old-fashioned rhythm and blues along with their exciting live shows, the Black Coffee Cowboys have developed a sound that makes music lovers of all ages get up and dance the night away.

2007 was a banner year for the hard-working musicians. In June they released their latest album "Hot Like Fire" to excellent critical reviews, and also hit #24 nationally on the ChartAttack College Radio Charts. The BCC were also recognized by the Calgary Herald who put them on their 2007 year-end reader’s poll as one of “Calgary’s Best Bands”.
