The Belfast Cowboys is a nine-piece, horn-driven band from Minneapolis that specializes in the music of Van Morrison along with their own originals, mixing rock, blues, roots and soul sounds. Led by veteran songwriter and guitarist Terry Walsh and powered by a four-piece horn section, the Cowboys have flourished in the renowned Minnesota music scene, consistently packing houses and wowing crowds since 2002.

Terry Walsh got his start playing in various Twin Cities rock bands and toured as Slim Dunlap’s bass player in 1997, opening for Son Volt. But after 17 years, he almost gave it all up.

“I was very close to selling off my amp and guitars in an attempt to put away childish things and grow up,” Terry laughs. “Thankfully I got a call from my friend and booking agent Brian Swanson, who asked if I wanted to come join their ‘go nowhere, do nothing rock and roll band.’”

The band has expanded its content over the years to include rock and soul covers along with Terry’s own originals, which have become fan favorites. The 9-piece Belfast Cowboys are a beloved staple in Minnesota.

The Belfast Cowboys, a band of eight musicians, performs outdoors on a stage with brass, guitars, and keyboards. Decorative smokestacks and string lights glow behind them against the backdrop of a stunning sunset sky.
