We’re heading back to Las Vegas this December for the National Finals Rodeo, and you’re invited to join us at the Ahern Hotel, Dec. 10–13, for National Cowboy Poetry Gathering on the Road!
Enjoy nine full shows, open mics, hosted rodeo watch parties, dancing, and a gift show curated by yours truly and featuring authentic, handmade cowboy gear and quality Western gifts from skilled makers across the West. It’s all in one convenient (and dare we say, relaxing) place to shop and celebrate.
This year’s lineup features an incredible mix of music and poetry from Gary Haleamau & Kāwili, R.W. Hampton, Darrell Holden, Annie Mackenzie, Jake Riley, Matt Robertson, Trinity Seely, R.P. Smith, Dave Stamey, and Sam Platts with a six-piece band.
