On the evening of Friday, March 12, guests are invited to a special concert in the Booth Ballroom with musical guests Sweethearts in Carhartts. Comprised of Western poets, singers and songwriters Jean Prescott, Yvonne Hollenbeck and Liz Masterson, Sweethearts in Carhartts showcases the talent of these three amazing musicians while also paying tribute to the women of the West. Tickets are $15 for Booth members and $18 for not-yet-members.
Saturday evening’s concert, held at the Grand Theatre, features famed Western singer, songwriter, poet, and guitarist Red Steagall. A native of Texas, Steagall has entertained audiences all around the world and has been called “a singing scholar of the old West” by James Earl Jones and “the best of the best” by Rex Allen. In 2006, Steagall was named Poet Laureate for the state of Texas making him the first “cowboy” poet laureate for the state. Tickets for Steagall’s performance are $25 for not-yet-members, $20 for Booth members and $10 for students.
Each performance will allow guests to experience a taste of the Western way of living. Sweethearts in Carharrts and Steagall intertwine their poetic lyrics with Western musical instruments – each reminiscent of gathering ‘round the Chuck wagon after a long day. Be sure to purchase your tickets before it's too late!
In addition to the concerts on Friday and Saturday night, the 7th Annual Southeastern Cowboy Gathering will include chuck wagon and Dutch oven cooking contests; mandolin, fiddle, guitar and banjo contests; children’s activities; and an evening lecture with featured artist Nelson Boren.For more information on the 7th Annual Southeastern Cowboy Gathering, or to purchase tickets, call 770-387-1300.
