The Cowboy Junkies are still going strong as they approach a significant anniversary.

This year the band is celebrating 40 years together, and they've managed to stay together and not take any significant breaks, a rare feat for the music industry.

Ahead of their upcoming stop in New Zealand this November, lead singer Margo Timmins says it's 'overwhelming' to see that the band's been able to keep it going for all these years.

"I think that as you age, you stop worrying about the little stuff, like what you look like and how many people are here and who's in the audience and who isn't in the audience - you're just playing your show."
