Black
Country Western Music? Afraid not. Black Cowboy Music? Yeah, that's what the
NightRiders are about. "Cowboy Soul"!
Known
as "America's Premier Black Cowboy Band", Mike Mann and
the NightRiders perform a unique new style of music called "Cowboy
Soul", an exciting mixture of Country Western and Contemporary Pop,
fused with Soulful harmonies. If you like The Eagles, Lionel Richie,
Al Green and Clint Black, then “Cowboy Soul” will stir your soul.
Kind of like Sheryl Crow meets Al Green, or Clint Black gets with Lionel Ritchie
and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Cowboy Soul is hard to describe, but people
of all ages, colors and backgrounds have been diggin’ it for years now.
Keith Washington, bassist for the group boasts, “It’s amazing
how catchy these songs are and how much people like them right off the bat!
When we play a venue for the first time, we look out into the audience and
we can see people singing along with the songs by the time we get to the second
chorus! That’s what’s kept this group together all these years.
We live for these songs because people love these songs.
The first response to The NightRiders is usually something positive
like, “Hey, a Black Country Music band . . . that’s different.”
The next response is always, "Hey, these guys are good! And the
music is jamming!"

What's Cowboy Soul?
Cowboy
Soul is a totally new genre of music. Why? Because people who know Country
Western say “that’s not country”; but people who don’t
really know Country say... “Hey, that’s Country music." Mike
Mann and the NightRiders have performed at numerous events from live concerts,
to private parties, historical events, festivals, rodeos and even Las Vegas.
