Cowboy Mouth's rock anthem "Take Me Back to New Orleans" has long been a favorite at the band's concerts, often closing out the night as a tribute to their hometown and the adopted hometown of their fans all around the world. And now it is a rallying cry for the band, their crew and a large number of their devotees who, like the band, have no homes to return to in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

And so without a city they can go home to, at least at the moment, Cowboy Mouth's Fred LeBlanc, John Thomas Griffith, Paul Sanchez and Sonia Tetlow have announced that they will extend their current tour and do what they have been doing best for the past 15 years: bringing the incomparable spirit of their beloved city to as many people as possible through a live show that is "part Mardi Gras celebration, part Gospel-like revival and 100 percent pure rock 'n roll spectacle."

Kicking off Wednesday, September 21, at the Coca Cola Roxy Theater in Atlanta, GA, the appropriately titled Take Me Back to New Orleans Tour will weave across ten states, from California to the Carolinas, all the while raising money for the newly established Cowboy Mouth Hurricane Relief Fund, a 501(c)3 organization specifically designed to aid families, friends and fans of the band that have been affected by Hurricane Katrina.

From Atlanta, Cowboy Mouth will continue across twenty cities in their "home on wheels" tour bus, which is sponsored by Southern Comfort, a company also deeply rooted in New Orleans. The Take Me Back to New Orleans Tour will wrap up close to home in Baton Rouge, LA at the end of November.

"So many of our friends, families and fans lost their homes, not to mention their livelihoods, so we are very fortunate in that we can continue on with a portion of our lives, which is playing music, being positive and making people feel good," said LeBlanc.

"That's our mission, and right now people in New Orleans and all across the Gulf Coast need as much positive support as possible, even if it's from a stage across the country."

As a writer once claimed of Cowboy Mouth's legendary live show, "...on a bad night they'll tear the roof off the joint and on a good night, they'll save your soul." Indeed, with fans ranging from the ages of five to 85, Cowboy Mouth has become known for their intense, soul-saving, revival-like concerts, their overwhelming optimism and the maniacal antics of frontman Le Blanc, who keeps audiences glued, leaving them as drenched and spent as the band. Performing songs such as "Take Me Back to New Orleans," "At the Door of Canal Street," and new songs such as "Voodoo Shoppe," which is slated to be the title track for their upcoming release on Eleven Thirty Records, scheduled to drop in early 2006, the band is committed to keeping the New Orleans Spirit alive and bringing the big sound of the Big Easy to people across the country.
