Cowboy Music and Poetry
Feb. 18-20, 2027

The Gathering in 4 Minutes

Curious about cowboy poetry and what happens at a cowboy poetry gathering? Our four-minute film by John and Erika Moore will give you some ideas. You'll see snippets of performances, scenes from our chuckwagon breakfasts, and more.

"People are fascinated about stuff that is real . . . When someone is talking about the way they live, and inviting you into their world, and sharing that with you, it's a powerful thing."

"Well, it's not poetry, and it's not music — it's both. But more than that, it's where you came from . . . It comes out of stillness."
