Popular Calgary roots band The Co-Dependents, along with special guests, alt-country balladeer Ralph Boyd Johnson and the Ruckus, and folk-rocker Dave McCann and the Ten Toed Frogs, are set to perform Feb. 7 at the Bowness Community Hall, 7994 43rd Ave. NW.
Doors open at 8 p.m. and the show, which is presented by The Calgary Blues and Roots Festival, starts at 9 p.m. Advance tickets are $20 plus GST at Megatunes or Ticketmaster or $25 at the door.

The Co-Dependents, fronted by legendary singer/songwriter Billy Cowsill and guitarist/vocalist Steve Pineo, are no stranger to fame. Cowsill was a founding member of The Cowsills, one of the biggest pop acts of the late ‘60s with such hits as The Rain, The Park and Other things and Hair.
Pineo wrote Paul Brandt’s smash success Canadian Man and his CD, A Perfectly Good Friendship, won Outstanding Roots Recording at the 2001 Prairie Music Awards.
Backed by Tim Leacock, Ross Watson and Kit Johnson, The Co-Dependents reel off a range of high energy tunes from Marty Robbins and the Rolling stones to Arthur Alexander, The Beatles, Brenda Lee and Tammy Wynette.
