Howdy friends!

Our "Branding Crew" is lined up and ready for an amazing 2027 Gathering next February in Alpine! Check out our photo grid to see who's coming.

A few tidbits:

• The much-loved Doris Daley will be back from her home in Alberta.
• Dick Gibford, a longtime cowboy poetry performer, will join us, and we'll screen a new documentary about his life, Cowboy Meditations.
• Dakota Robinson and Matt Robertson, new to the Gathering last year, will join us again.
• Maggie Rose Hedges, who has grown up on Gathering stages backing up her father Andy Hedges, is now performing.
• Jimmy Cantwell, a lifelong horseman who's turned that experience into song, will bring his songs to Alpine.
• Favorites Joel Nelson, Ross Knox, Randy Rieman, and Rod Taylor will be back, along with the stellar Brenn Hill, Trinity Seely, Andy Hedges, and many more.

You can view the full schedule now to plan how to best fill your days with music and poetry.

And if you are a current member, you can purchase your tickets now. Daytime shows are $20, and evening shows are $35. This year, evening ticketed shows use reserved seating. Other ticketed shows are open seating with capacity controls.

If you are not a member, join today for early ticket access and credit toward your ticket purchase.

We're eager to see you in Alpine!

All the best,
Kay and Gene Nowell
Co-Chairs, Lone Star Cowboy Poetry Gathering
