Multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated Icelandic rockers KALEO have returned with their new single Lonely Cowboy available via Elektra. Lonely Cowboy is available on all streaming platforms and is also joined by a stunning performance video shot inside Rome’s Historic Colosseum. The standalone track notably marks the group’s first new original music in three years.

Lonely Cowboy hinges on a softly plucked acoustic guitar and sparse orchestration, while gruff, yet warm vocals remain the guiding force.“Guess it’s time to say goodbye to the rider of the night” sings vocalist, guitarist, pianist, songwriter, and producer JJ Julius Son as he paints a vivid picture underscored by a proud and intentional homage to Ennio Morricone.

JJ commented on the song sharing, “It feels like a Spaghetti Western, and I love those vibes. My friends and family have always encouraged me to put it out, but now was the right time. It’s an important one for me.”

Next up, KALEO will return to the road in North America this summer. The band have announced a run of dates kicking off at Dillon Amphitheatre in Dillon, CO on 14th June followed by a sold-out performance at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO on 16th June. The trek visits major markets on the West Coast, and concludes in Carnation, WA at Remlinger Farms on 26th June [tour itinerary below]. Tickets for all dates are on sale now.

Earlier this month, KALEO celebrated their 10th anniversary by delivering a stunning live performance before 250 of their biggest fans at the Archeological Park of the Colosseum, Rome, and in the shadow of the world-famous amphitheater. With the performance, KALEO joined the ranks of Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, The Cure, Elton John, and Paul McCartney as the only artists to ever perform an electric concert in front of the iconic monument. Presented by VERTIGO LIVE, a leading producer of cinematic live experiences, the momentous night was captured on film and will be released as KALEO: Viva Roma in the Shadow of the Colosseum later this summer – watch an official teaser HERE.

About KALEO:

Akin to steadying a ship on rough seas, KALEO deftly navigates life’s extremes via music. Emerging out of Reykjavík, KALEO—JJ Julis Son [vocals, guitar, piano], Rubin Pollock [lead guitar], Daniel Kristjansson [bass], and David Antonsson [drums] —buzzed to the forefront of the global conversation with the platinum-certified A/B in 2016. The album took flight as a phenomenon uplifted by the double-platinum #1 single “Way Down We Go,” gold-certified “All The Pretty Girls,” and “No Good,” which garnered a GRAMMY® Award nod in the category of “Best Rock Performance.”They maintained this momentum with Surface Sounds [2021], cracking the Top 6 on AAA with “I Want More” and “Break My Baby.” Their music surged through popular culture with dozens of film and television syncs, including Marvel flicks like LOGAN and TV series such as Grey’s Anatomy and Riverdale. Additionally, the guys made their mark with performances on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Good Morning America, and more. Beyond selling out headline tours on multiple continents, they shined as a live force of nature who could hold their own on a bill with The Rolling Stones or ignite festival crowds at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and beyond. To date, they have notably tallied north of 4 billion global streams and earned 60 international certifications. As always, the band encompass a vast spectrum of sound and feeling, which manifest on their 2024 single Lonely Cowboy where delicate finger-picking underscores cinematic lyricism. KALEO originally debuted the tune in front of a sold-out audience at The Grand Ole Opry in 2022, and more recently delivered a stunning performance of the track inside the world-famous Colosseum in Rome, Italy. Musically, it proudly tips a Stetson hat to Ennio Morricone.
