New Orleans, LA -- Last Monday, September 24th, New Orleans favorites COWBOY MOUTH launched the pre-game activities for the New Orleans Saints' Monday Night Football match-up with the Tennessee Titans.
Performing on the Bud Bridge outside Gate C of the Louisiana Superdome, Cowboy Mouth entertained thousands of fans outside of the stadium before the Saints' first home game of the season.
Thousands of Saints fans sang along and danced in the rain during the band's 90-minute set, which featured songs like "This Much Fun," "Winds Me Up," "Everybody Loves Jill, the Katrina related "The Avenue," and "Jenny Says." Saints Team owner Tom Benson also surprised the crowd, jumping on stage to do the Benson Boogie during the band's song "Easy."
After their performance, band members joined fans inside the Superdome to watch the Saints game, televised nationally for Monday Night Football.
COWBOY MOUTH is currently on tour, with stops scheduled in major cities throughout the country.
