Gather in Alpine Feb. 18-19, 2022 or watch our film
Keeping the Tradition Alive — 81 Minutes of Poetry and Music
Our first film showcases poetry from Joel Nelson and music by Dale Burson, R.W. Hampton, Randy Huston, and Rod Taylor, all working cattlemen filmed on ranches in West Texas and New Mexico. These are not stage performances. Between songs and poems, the participants talk directly with each other or with filmmakers John and Erika Moore about topics near to their hearts: horse training, becoming cowboys, horse wrecks, finding water, and living a life outdoors. Get tickets.
Plan to polish your boots and brush off your best hat! We are excited to announce that we will be gathering in Alpine in February, with forty scheduled performers who know cowboy life from the inside.
The free shows, chuckwagon breakfast, and open mic sessions promise to be better than ever, and the high desert air and mountain views of Alpine can't be beat. Don't miss 2022!
