Austin’s own Cosmic Convoy—the vintage-minded quartet featuring alumni of Golden Bear and The Channel—has kicked off the summer in style with the Independence-Day release of its latest single, “Body & Soul.” Dropped on July 4, the track has spent the past week and a half slipping onto playlists and spinning in dive-bar jukeboxes from Texas to Tulsa, its smooth soul groove and country-storyteller heart proving an irresistible combo for holiday road trips and backyard hangs alike.

After a couple years playing regularly in and around Austin, Cosmic Convoy is happy to announce the release of their first EP, Together Again for the First Time, recorded in Burleson, TX in February 2020.  Cosmic Convoy is made up of long-time friends, and was conceived in September 2017 as a classic country cover band. Over time, original songs by singer Brent Pennington began to make their way into the set, and some of these are what comprise Together Again for the First Time.
