Fly into the wild meadows of Cosmic Butterflies. Here, the soundtrack is something more than a melody with a message—it’s a journey. We are an Austin-based psychedelic folk rock band with music that invites you to feel what’s real. Consider our tunes as the backdrop to your road trip, nature walk, campfire, yoga session—music for a feel-good adventure.
Open Doors
Our songs are open doors, with paths to explore. We offer variety, blending the excited allure of psychedelic rock with the earthy warmth of folk, creating an experience we call “folkadelic.” What sets us apart? Maybe it’s the flute, weaving through acoustic and electric instrumentation. Maybe it’s the frequency, inviting listeners through the great mystery. Or maybe it’s the inviting rhythms, relatable vocals, and high vibrations of Peace, Love, Grace, and Truth.
Led by frontman singer-songwriter Cabe Lindsay, our ensemble showcases a wide range of sounds, from the glissando of a concert harp to the soul-stirring waves of a cello. You’ll hear a funky skank guitar in “The Voice,” and a choir of celestial voices in “Home.” Each song is a three-way dance between body, heart, and mind. Our debut album is the ethereal Colors Flying, and our follow-up is the heart-thumping Lover Songs.
Our songs are ecstatic. By this, we mean they stretch listeners into the heights of sensation, the depths of connection, and the middle ground of co-creation. Cosmic Butterflies is more than just a band; we represent a movement—communities of kindred spirits united by the pursuit of Global Harmony. We invite all walks of life to join in and enjoy. In fact, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can download our FREE printable songbook and sing along, or carry the songs yourself. Our music is made to be played.

Music Matters to Us
They say the principles of music are: melody, harmony, rhythm, dynamics, timbre… but it’s more than that. Music is a gateway to genuine connection. Beyond the forms, you’ll recognize a familiar feeling of being home, safe and sound. If you choose to, you can let the music embrace you, elevate you, and hold space for your resonance and radiance from the core of your being.
