Gunnar Latham

Gunnar Latham sings "modern cowboy songs". These aren't the dusty trail tunes of old but those of an old soul interpreting the modern world with his own unique, cowboy perspective. He was born on a ranch outside San Marcos, Texas where his dad, a bull riding southern Baptist minister, influenced his love for both music and the cowboy lifestyle at an early age.

Following in his father's footsteps, he took up rodeo at an early age and excelled at the sport. Being a standout team roper and steer wrestler earned him a scholarship to Sul Ross State University (Alpine, TX) where he competed nationally for 4+ years getting his permit card at 21 years old. The broken bones, broken hearts and broken dreams experienced on the circuit only served to lead him back to his true passion - music making and story telling.

During his formative years in his fathers church, Gunnar's passion for music was developed. He learned piano, guitar, drums and sang in the church choir. In late 2019 he felt called to leave rodeo behind and shift his focus to his first love. He spent 2020 focusing all of his attention and energy to developing his craft as a songwriter, singer and player. When a cowboy puts his head down and gets to work, the results don't go un-noticed. The time has come to share the fruits of his labor with the world. Introducing -- Gunnar Latham.
