Before LSU and Alabama hit the field Saturday, Cowboy Mouth will bring its loud, rock sound to a performance outside of Tiger Stadium.
The band will perform at the Zatarain’s Tiger One Village in the Tiger Stadium parking lot at 2:45 p.m. Saturday. The game is set to kick off at 7 p.m.
Twenty-five years ago in New Orleans, Cowboy Mouth stepped onto the music scene. Fred LeBlanc started Cowboy Mouth after leaving the group, Dash Rip Rock, because he wanted to begin his own band in his hometown.
Even with 25 years under its belt, Cowboy Mouth continues to produce new music.
The band released the album, “Go!” this June. LeBlanc said the band plans to play songs from the new record along with older songs before the Tigers and Tide face off to keep fans happy.
LeBlanc prides himself on the band’s live performance. It’s a focal point for LeBlanc, who wants to give an experience more than just a concert — he wants to provide an escape for fans.
“It’s about the need to escape, and realizing that you don’t have to go outside of yourself to find everything you’re looking for in life,” LeBlanc said.
LeBlanc believes everything is on the inside and it’s the person’s responsibility of bringing it out — the theme for every Cowboy Mouth show.
Today, the band is comprised of LeBlanc on vocals and drums, Casandra Faulconer on bass and Matt Jones and John Thomas Griffith on guitar. LeBlanc said the simplest way to describe the band’s sound is through a description a fan has given him.
“‘You guys are just like a Southern gospel revival,’” LeBlanc mimicked.
LeBlanc said Cowboy Mouth is “a lot of fun with heavy guitar and drums.” The band creates a sound spanning several genres. Its sound ranges from electric blues, rockabilly, punky pop and guitar-focused rock ‘n’ roll.

LeBlanc said Cowboy Mouth is “a lot of fun with heavy guitar and drums.” The band creates a sound expanding several genres. Its sound ranges from electric blues, rockabilly, punky pop and guitar-focused rock ‘n’ roll.
As for the atmosphere of an LSU-Alabama game, LeBlanc said the band is ready for it.
“[The] energy is going to be insane,” LeBlanc said.
LeBlanc said while he grew up in the Crescent City, he has a Baton Rouge connection with family in the area. He said one family member was the mayor of Baton Rouge during World War II.
LeBlanc said it’s always fun to play in Baton Rouge, especially for “Tiger fans.” He said the band is thrilled to be involved in the friendly rivalry and wants to “egg that on” while on stage.
