Canadian alt-rock legends Cowboy Junkies bring their tour celebrating 40 years of making music to Nashville Sunday evening for a show at City Winery. The group — Margo Timmins (lead vocals), her brothers Michael Timmins (guitar) and Peter Timmins (drums), and lifelong family friend Alan Anton (bass) — was formed in Toronto in 1985, and unlike so many long-lasting bands, Cowboy Junkies have never broken up or taken a lengthy hiatus. “After 30-plus years of playing together, the band and its music are more important to us than ever,” Margo tells the Scene. “The music we make brings each of us a great sense of contentment, a knowledge of place and a sense of doing what we were meant to do.” Their music is a unique mix of folk, blues, rock, jazz and country that has evolved over the course of the band’s 20 studio albums. Sunday’s show will be a career-spanning performance, from Cowboy Junkies’ 1988 breakout album The Trinity Session to their most recent album of new material, 2023’s Such Ferocious Beauty. In May, the group released a collection covering the past 25 years, Open to Beauty: Best of the 21st Century.
