“The Sensational Country Blues Wonders!” were designed to replicate the original instrumental lineup of acoustic rhythm guitar, electric lead guitar and upright acoustic bass used on the first rock and roll records recorded by Elvis Presley at Sun Studio in Memphis, Tenn. Sam Phillips, founder of Sun Records and Elvis loom large in my list of influences. Other who have inspired me include many seminal figures in American music, such as Hank Williams, Chuck Berry, Gene Vincent, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Brother Joe May, Charlie Feathers, Carl Perkins, Smiley Lewis, Brother Claude Ely, and Ernest Tubb. Simply put, “The Sensational Country Blues Wonders!” are the sound of America, starting at the intersection of all it’s best influences!

The band has gigged extensively in Jersey City and Hoboken over the years at many great events like Project Greenville, Riverview Farmers Market, Live at The Lumberyard, Hamilton Park BBQ Festival, Groove on Grove, Liberty State Park Summerfest Concert Series, and JC Fridays. We’ve shared a bill with national acts Marshall Crenshaw and The Smithereens at the Hoboken Arts & Music Festival. We’ve opened for Evan Dando (of Lemonheads fame) at Monty Hall. We’ve performed all over Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Gary Van Miert is a New Jersey-based musician and performer best known as the frontman of The Sensational Country Blues Wonders!, a band that blends classic American musical styles like country, gospel, and blues with a distinct vintage flair and theatrical presentation. He’s often recognized for his colorful outfits, retro cowboy aesthetic, and performances that celebrate the spirit of classic Americana, especially 1950s and 1960s honky-tonk and gospel revival music. His alter ego, “The Psychedelic Cowboy,” adds a playful, surreal twist to this style, combining heartfelt storytelling with a touch of irony and psychedelic visuals. Van Miert’s work is both a sincere tribute and a clever reinvention of traditional roots music, drawing on influences like Hank Williams, Elvis, and gospel quartets—filtered through a modern, artful lens.

Tracklist: 01 - Music Sounds Better When You’re Stoned - Just stating the obvious here, in a fun way. One small aspect of the cannabis experience is that getting high enhances one’s enjoyment of music. 02 - Come Out and Play - A song about love and mortality. It documents the beginnings of a relationship, where everything is new and wonderful. The protagonist of the song is pleading with his intended to show some urgency, as time is slipping away. 03 - A Mad Tea Party - This song is based on the Mad Tea Party chapter of Alice in Wonderland, inspired by the famous quote - "You're mad, bonkers, completely off your head. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are." 04 - Across the Milky Way - A charming tune that captures a child-like sense of wonder about the universe. In this song, the protagonist has a rocket ship and invites the listener along to explore the Milky Way. 05 - Changing of the Guard - A song about mortality, the passage of time, and the inevitable nature of change. 06 - My Doppelganger - Freud linked the concept of the doppelganger to narcissism, suggesting it's an unconscious projection of the self, often associated with anxieties about death. 07 - Harsh Toke - Another weed song. It explores one of the very real dangers of smoking marijuana, taking too big a toke, and coughing. 08 - Stoners Circus - This is a song about a special circus that only exists in my head. It’s a circus where everyone is stoned - the performers and the crowd alike. 09 - Time Isn’t Real - This song is a call-to-action to destroy all the clocks in the world. Albert Einstein once said that our subjective experience of time as a continuous flow might be an illusion. Time is not a tangible thing we can hold or see, but rather an abstract 10 - Star Child - We are now exploring the universe with our advanced telescopes. Future generations will be exploring space in person. This is a love letter to those future explorers.
