STRATEGIC ARTIST ADVOCACY SINCE 1997
"A rowdy, brass-charged blast of R&B funk that finds Norwood declaring 'You don’t know what I’m capable of.'"

Today in Twangville: "The album is awash with strings, horns, and background vocalists, sometimes – as is the case with 'Love Me Back to Life' – on a single song. Lyle Lovett has his big band. Now Chris J Norwood has his."
Check out the new tune by Chris J Norwood & The Knockdown Dragout!
"I’m really not sure how many musicians make up The Knockdown Dragout but it’s clearly a large number."
Good question, Twangville! Let me provide the answer: 296 musicians. It's a fun fact, and a scary fact!
Many thanks for coming in with the heat on what's hot in early 2024, including Chris J Norwood & The Knockdown Dragout, "a debut that is chock full of music that hearkens back to 1970’s R&B soul and R&B, replete with plenty of horns and a string section."
Album arrives February 9! WATCH + LISTEN + PRE-ORDER + GET TIX!
"You can hear Norwood channel that intensity in his performance, bringing a punk rock lineage to his R&B."
I love this observation from Rachel at Adobe and Teardrops about "Dancing In The Kitchen" by Chris J Norwood & The Knockdown Dragout.
The video is such a pure gem featuring Chris and his wife Carrie doing exactly what the song title states. To Rachel's point, though, there is an opposite side of that tenderness coin coming through. The upcoming album is rough and ready!
Recorded with urgency on the floor of the studio where Willie walked while making 𝘙𝘦𝘥 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳, the debut album by The Knockdown Dragout lands on February 9!
We are thrilled to have KXT 91.7's Local Show presenting Chris J Norwood & The Knockdown Dragout at The Kessler in Dallas to celebrate the release of the Rock n' Roll Soul Revue's debut self-titled album on February 9, 2024!
