Cows & Thunder - Cows & Thunder

Cows and Thunder is the result of a longtime musical partnership between singer-songwriter-guitarist Steven Capozzola and slide guitar-mandola player Dennis Sharkey. For more than a decade, the two have performed an original stew of folk, country, and blues music throughout the northeastern United States. In recent years, the two have established Woodstock, NY as their musical home base, and have begun collaborating with a number of local musicians, including bassist/producer David Andersen. The resulting band, Cows and Thunder, focuses on sing-along country-rock and Americana music. The 'Cows and Thunder' album was recorded entirely in Saugerties, NY, in the shadow of the famed Overlook Mountain. Several of the album's songs were debuted at the 2013 Woodstock 'Concert on the Green.' The thick woods and pine trees of West Saugerties inform much of the album's vibe, and Capozzola says he particularly enjoys the crickets that remain clearly audible throughout the album's closing track, "When The Money Runs Out." He explains, "We love Woodstock, and we love the music scene up here. We're not worried about breaking new musical ground. We just want to play the kind of songs that we love to listen to. When I listen to the finished record, I think of driving along Route 212, or strumming guitars on the back porch and looking up at the mountain. Hopefully we've captured some of that on the album." Cows and Thunder continue to play gigs throughout the Woodstock area. The featured track on the album, "Driving," is now available on iTunes.
