Ranch Verse: Poetry, Song & Storytelling

Saturday, August 3, 2024

Doors 6:50 pm • Showtime 7:30 pm

Back for a second year by popular demand, Ranch Verse will be held Saturday, Aug. 3 in Lubbock, Texas. Daytime programs at the National Ranching Heritage Center and an evening concert at the Cactus Theater will artfully illustrate the heritage of cowboy country. The evening performance features cowboy songster Andy Hedges, Western singer and songwriter duo Brigid and Johnny Reedy and buckaroo poet and cowboy Waddie Mitchell.

Andy Hedges is an acclaimed Western songster, poet and storyteller who recently performed at Carnegie Hall. His album, Roll On, Cowboys, has become an instant classic and includes performances with Waddie Mitchell and Johnny and Brigid Reedy.

Brigid and Johnny Reedy, a brother-sister duo from Southwestern Montana bringing their unique style of music—ranging from Cowboy tunes to Western Swing, Rhythm, and Blues—to the Ranch Verse stage.

Buckaroo poet and working cowboy Waddie Mitchell of Elko, Nevada, will entertain through his true-to-life storytelling, set to the rhyme and rhythm of Cowboy poetry.

Making it possible to bring this talented lineup to the Ranch Verse stage are the Ranching Heritage Association and the Helen DeVitt Jones Adult & Secondary Education endowment at the National Ranching Heritage Center.
