In 2004 Cow Bop won the Route 66 Challenge, traveling the length of the historic route starting with only $100.00 and no scheduled gigs. They always hit the stage with an electrifying and entertaining assortment of music and frolic.
Their first CD, Swinging Out West, was released in 2004 and charted four different genres. Their subsequent CD’; Route 66, Too Hick for the Room, and their newest, Cowlifornia Swing, have delighted critics around the world. Their music has been described as “the most fun you can have with your spurs on.”
What goes with an evening of Cow Bop fun? The Surfer Taco Truck’s authentic, mouth-watering food! In addition to tacos, The Surfer Taco Truck features tortas, quesadillas, cemitas poblanas, empanadas, sopas, burritos, huaraches, mulitas, tostadas, and shrimp cocktails in addition to combination plates, soft drinks, and more.
