About us

Capgun Cowboy is where two paths meet—songwriter-musician Jackson Roltgen and producer-musician Joshua Borges. Born as a side project, it has become a space for honest songs and collaborations beyond the duo. Their sound drifts through cinematic folk-Americana, nostalgic rock ’n’ roll, and western country, carrying the spirit of wide-open landscapes and reflections on beauty and truth.
