STATE COWS es una de las pocas bandas modernas de Yachts rock/westcoast/AOR que crea nueva música original. La banda está compuesta por Daniel Andersson en voces y guitarras y Stefan Olofsson en teclados y bajo. Muchos músicos invitados han contribuido a sus grabaciones y conciertos en vivo, especialmente Jay Graydon (dos veces ganador del Grammy, doce veces nominado al Grammy, STEELY DAN, EARTH, WIND & FIRE), Bill Champlin (CHICAGO), Jason Scheff (CHICAGO) , Michael Landau (MICHAEL JACKSON, PINK FLOYD) e Ian Bairnson (PROYECTO KATE BUSH, ALAN PARSONS).

Después de lanzar el álbum "Days in L.A." Para recibir críticas favorables, Daniel Andersson y su colaborador Stefan Olofsson decidieron embarcarse en un proyecto de Yacht Rock sin compromisos. Este proyecto comenzó como un homenaje a Steely Dan llamado THE SECOND ARRANGEMENT. Pronto transformaron el tributo de Steely Dan en la banda STATE COWS y comenzaron a escribir un álbum de nuevas canciones.

The band consists of Daniel Andersson on vocals and guitars and Stefan Olofsson on keyboards and bass. Many guest musicians have contributed to their recordings and live gigs, most notably Jay Graydon (two-time Grammy winner, twelve-time Grammy nominee, STEELY DAN, EARTH, WIND & FIRE), Bill Champlin (CHICAGO), Jason Scheff (CHICAGO), Michael Landau (MICHAEL JACKSON, PINK FLOYD) and Ian Bairnson (KATE BUSH, ALAN PARSONS PROJECT).

After releasing the album "Days in L.A." to rave reviews, Daniel Andersson and collaborator Stefan Olofsson decided to embark on a full-fledged, no-compromise yacht rock project. This project started out as a Steely Dan tribute called THE SECOND ARRANGEMENT. They soon transformed the Steely Dan tribute into the band STATE COWS and started writing an album of brand new yacht rock songs.
