Few places in the world capture the imagination like the American West. From the range, ranch, and reservation, through the valley of the Rio Grande to the Bitteroot Mountains, the performances of this group of exceptional Western artists bring the region’s character to life through its unique music and oral tradition. Their authentic cowboy songs and poetry, high plains yodeling, western swing fiddle, Tex-Mex polkas, and Northern Plains drumming, demonstrate the vitality, power and everevolving nature of the Western tradition.
