Well, after the sizzling hot show we had with Gary Allegretto and Ian Espinoza on Saturday night, we're going to switch gears and invite you to join us at our home in Altadena in closing our 2010 Summer season with an
"Evening of Cowboy Poetry and Song" featuring Gary Robertson and Eddie Villalobos
July 31, Saturday
Backyard House Concert in Altadena, CA
Doors Open at 5:30pm. Show at 7:00pm
One of our favorite Cowboy Poets, Gary Robertson has been writing about the daily trials and tribulations of the cowboy and rancher for over 25 years. His poetry has appeared in the Chickasaw Times, Capriola's Catalogue, American Cowboy Magazine, and several local newspapers. One of his poems was chosen to be included in the book "Cowboy Poetry: the Reunion" and he is a featured poet on CowboyPoetry.com.
Gary has entertained audiences at the Colorado Cowboy Poetry Gathering, Arizona Cowboy Poetry Gathering, Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival, Cowboy Hall of Fame, Autry National Center, The Conejo Cowboy Poetry Festival, and Big Bear Cowboy Poetry Gathering.
Eddie Villalobos rounds out the evening with fine Western song. Eddie is gifted with a wonderful voice and fine guitar playing. As soon as Eddie begins to sing, he has the audience in the palm of his hand. Eddie has entertained audiences at the Autry National Center, Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival and the Visalia Fall Roundup.
Gary and Eddie are the genuine article and we are proud to have them back. This will be Gary's third performance in our backyard concert series, and the second appearance for Eddie.
Please make plans to join us at our home in Altadena for this relaxed evening of Cowboy poetry and song. If you haven't yet made your reservations, please do so now by emailing us at big.hat@sbcglobal.net.
Suggested donation is $20.00 per person and, of course, that includes a BBQ dinner. Visit bighatonline.com for all the details.
We'll be looking forward to seeing you.
Bob and Marie
