Sweet Moments by Cowboys & Frenchmen
After losing our entire 2020 touring and recording schedule, and deeply missing the joys of performing with each other and for our audiences, we decided to record a short album and share it with you. Sweet Moments was recorded remotely from our separate apartments with cell phones, handheld recorders, and many email exchanges. Each song is unique in character, but all are reflections on moments in time, and the way these moments are colored by our emotions. There is one song about the future, one about the present, and one about the past. We hope you enjoy.
We are donating half of everything we make on this album to NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
