Thursday, Nov. 2 to Saturday, Nov. 4, 2023 — Fredericksburg, Texas

AS OF THURSDAY, NOV. 2: We have some bad news and some good news. Unfortunately, Tom Russell is under the weather and has lost his voice and will be unable to perform at the gathering this weekend. We are disappointed Tom won't be joining us and wish him a speedy recovery. The good news is that Michael Martin Murphey has graciously agreed to fill in for Tom Russell on our Friday night show. In lieu of Tom's Saturday afternoon performance, we will be presenting a special hour with Andy Hedges and friends. There are still tickets available for all shows and we look forward to seeing you this weekend.

Our 2023 three-day festival of song, story, and poetry features acclaimed artists from Texas, Tennessee, and Nebraska. Some of these writers and musicians travel the world representing Western music and culture. Songwriters, poets, and balladeers will celebrate the legend and cowboy spirit in all of us.

You'll hear Hot Club of Cowtown, Michael Martin Murphey, Andy Hedges, Joel Nelson, Brennen Leigh, Chris Ryden, Jake Riley, and Mike Blakely in 9 shows over 3 days.

The shows are intimate: the largest venue seats 250, and our smallest venue seats 100 in a downtown Western art gallery for dinner and a show.

Individual tickets for all 8 shows are on sale now, as are tickets for our Thursday night dinner show and fundraiser at the InSight Gallery.
