Booted from New York two years prior (long story) Maynard “the Cowboy” brought his cowpunk brand back to New York where he met Bronx born wallflower “Cupid”, her passion was to apply her Social Work degree into an album thereby helping more people. Maynard vowed to make known her music to the world and add his tunes too. Thus, the misfit duo Cupid and the Cowboy was formed.
Bette Midler says “Cupid’s got a beautiful voice.” Zest Radio Show adds “omg goosebumps”. Rock n Roll Johnny shouts, “they’re a great act”. From Cupid’s twee RnB to Maynard’s cowpunk they evoke elements of Swift or Rodrigo to The Cramps or Lou Reed. 2025 brings their first full length album fitly titled Misfit Sessions. Songs ranging from country/americana to dance pop, Alt rock and folk.
2025 is going to be a great year as we are releasing ten new songs! 30 Raincoats dropped Dec 21st 2024. Beer on my Tramp Stamp, dropped February 19th, 2025, with an incredible original video. Check it out on Youtube. (All the images below are links to the YouTube videos.)

Clotheshorse arrived on planet Earth twenty days ago. He was given a film titled “The Family Man” a stack of books, some cash and a will to prosper. He went to New York, bought suits from thrift stores and fell in love…releases June 3rd!
Beer on My Tramp Stamp is the second single from Misfit Sessions. It’s about a wayward girl who meets a drifter in a bar.
30R is the first release off our first ever album Titled Misfit Sessions, featuring Nice Brass, a brass band we met at Prospect Park. This tune is all about giving back.
Rump Shakin’ Cowboy is our version of a line dance song proudly featuring the Jaw Harp. You can definitely shake your booty to this tune.
This song is an 8 minute, slow-grindin’, barn-burnin’, soul-takin’ slow ride…
Cupid wrote this song during the pandemic, meant to inspire us all to get back out the house and live again.
This tune is one of our favorites, describing a wanton relationship from the point of view of an alley kat’s admirer
