The Grateful Cowboys bring their blend of blues, country, and rock to the historic Sand Dollar Lounge, mixing western soul with just enough outlaw edge to keep things interesting. This is the kind of band that understands the roots of American music – where honky-tonk meets the blues and everything's filtered through a rock and roll sensibility. Their sound fits perfectly with the Sand Dollar's legacy, a venue that's hosted everyone from Muddy Waters to B.B. King since the 1970s.

The evening runs from early to late, giving you plenty of time to settle in with a drink and let the music wash over you. At 21 and over, the crowd tends to appreciate the musicianship and the stories these songs tell. Best of all, there's never a cover charge at the Sand Dollar, keeping with the bar's tradition of making live music accessible to anyone who walks through the door.
