Artist Information
The HercuLeons are John Cowan (New Grass Revival, The Doobie Brothers) and Andrea Zonn (James Taylor, Vince Gill, Lyle Lovett). Their debut album, out March 21, 2025 on True Lonesome Records, is an eclectic mix of Americana, singer-songwriter and classic rock styles, propelled by longtime friends Cowan and Zonn's seamless, powerhouse vocals and decades of experience. Produced with Wendy Waldman, guests include Michael McDonald, Darrell Scott, John Hall, John McFee, Bill Payne and Reese Wynans. The group created a buzz during their Nashville residency at 3rd & Lindsley and AmericanaFest 2024, which featured the duo backed by a group of Nashville's finest: Jody Nardone (piano), Andy Peake (drums), Paul Kramer (multi-instrumentalist), and Tom Britt (lead guitar). Their live shows inspired Cowan to dub the group “The HercuLeons’ — he was praising the band members' "herculean” performances and included a nod to his musical idol, Leon Russell.
