Cowboy Mouth's mission, then, is as singular as its music--an engaging blend of positive vibes, modern rock, and New Orleans tradition. And though LeBlanc has no problem communicating these feelings--musically and otherwise--the Cowboy Mouth philosophy is perhaps best articulated by the final words from the liner notes to Are You With Me?, as written by LeBlanc's ill brother, Patrick, shortly before he died: "To those who are still alive, what are the things that are truly important? And while you are still alive, what are you doing about them?

Those are two questions the guys in Cowboy Mouth can easily answer.

Cowboy Mouth plays at Edgefest on Sunday, April 20, at Starplex.
