Tumbleweed Rob & The Southwest Junction
A Fork in the Road
Official CD Release Celebration
Saturday, March 30
You are invited to share a special evening with a gifted performer - "Tumbleweed Rob Wolfskill." What an honor it is to host this memorable event - the CD Release Celebration of his newest project!
Acclaimed entertainer, singer and songwriter, Rob Wolfskill embarks on a new journey, setting his sights on his own life span of influences, from his Southwestern American roots to the music of his
formative years. Rob now invites you to share his world of music, which includes many of the tunes the world has come to know him for plus a number of his own original compositions along with many of the songs that have meant something to him along the way. The leader of the successful Western Music Group, The Tumbling Tumbleweeds, Rob now lights a shuck and strikes out on a new trail as a solo artist with his new solo project called Tumbleweed Rob & The Southwest Junction!
Rob Wolfskill was born in Los Angeles, CA and is a descendent of the Chiricahua Red Paint Apache people. He has very strong ties to his heritage and with his family being from New Mexico and Arizona he has a strong affection for the Southwest. Rob grew up listening to everything from Sons of the Pioneers to Elton John and everything in between. His own songwriting style is both very personal and also very heavily influenced by the Acoustic Roots Music he has been drawn to throughout his lifetime.
Rob says, “Acoustic Music has a way of really touching your soul. I think the organics of acoustic instruments and the natural materials they are made of truly have a way of reaching us in a very primal way. Don’t get me wrong, I can enjoy Electronica just as much as anyone but for me, Acoustic Music dwells most harmoniously with that deep affection we feel for music in our hearts.”
With Rob’s new solo project, Tumbleweed Rob & The Southwest Junction, he hopes to explore a more personal side of his artistic calling and give the folks who have come to know him thus far a closer look at who he is as an artist and as a person. The Southwest Junction consists of Jesse Olema on Fiddle, Dan Dungan on Bass and Craig Ferguson on Guitar.MARCH 2, 2013
SATURDAY, MARCH 2
An Evening with Cow Bop
Saturday, March 2
Stay tuned for film link!
Mix swingin’ grooves, thrilling riffs, sweet and hot vocals, acoustic western sensibilities and tons of fun and you have only begun to describe Cow Bop. Formed in 2003 by internationally-acclaimed jazz guitarist Bruce Forman, the cowboy jazz and western bebop band has toured extensively throughout the world, exciting audiences with their unique brand of music.
The band's collective experience crosses the spectrum of American music, from the hottest jazz and the coolest swing to the most down-home honky-tonk. Comfortable in diverse settings, from Carnegie Hall to roadside taverns, the band always hits the stage with an electrifying and entertaining assortment of music and frolic. Along with Bruce Forman on guitar, the band features PintoPammy on vocals, whose talent and experiences range from big band swing, old-time country and musical theater, and mutli-instrumentalist David Wise, whose sax and trumpet playing takes you from the streets of New Orleans to the hottest blues and the coolest jazz. Put that on top of a rhythm section of Alex Frank, bass, and Jake Reed, drums, that are as swingin’ and rockin’ as a rodeo bronc but as sure-footed as a prized pack mule, and you get Cow Bop.
In 2004, Cow Bop won the Route 66 Challenge, traveling the length of the storied road having departed with a mere $100 and no scheduled gigs. Their debut CD, Swingin’ Out West, released in 2004, charted in four separate genres. Since then, Route 66, Too Hick for the Room, along with their newest CD: Cowlifornia Swing, have delighted critics around the world. The recordings feature songs and musicians from across the wide spectrum of the American musical palette.
Along with numerous appearances at esteemed nightclubs and concert venues, Cow Bop has also been featured at the Montreal & Monterey Jazz Festivals, the Sisters Folk Festival, as well as the Elko, Heber City, Monterey and Santa Clarita Cowboy Gatherings. For an extra treat, check out Bruce’s guitar work featured in Clint Eastwood’s Academy-Award winning film, Million Dollar Baby.

Click the link above for an intimate evening of live music with 2012 WMA triple nominee BARRY WARD. Traveling from Colorado, this is Barry's only planned concert in the Los Angeles area. Known by his friends and fans as "The Bear," the inspirations for his songs come from his experience growing up in the heart of rural America. His singing and songwriting are a tribute to Western traditions and lifestyles that he shares from his heart. From a Kansas farm boy with cow manure on his boots and diesel fuel on his jeans to the Cultural Olympiad at the 2002 Olympics and Carnegie Hall in New York City!
Barry performs "Eli Crow" just awarded 2013 Song of the Year, "Eli Crow," as well as many of his most requested original songs.

“I must say I give an A+ in all phases of songwriting, for lyrics, instrumentation and vocal excellence. Barry, keep doing what you are doing…your writing and vocal future –it’s very bright!!!” ~ Jack Hannah, Sons of the San Joaquin
“Barry Ward has a lot going for him, not the least of which is credibility. Barry is right at home behind a saddle horn, the steering wheel of a combine, or a microphone.” ~ Orin Friesen, The Rockin’ Banjo Ranch

She's as proud of her many 4-H awards as her 2011 Janet McBride Yodeling Award from the Western Music Association or being named "Rising Star" at the 2011 Kamloops, B.C. Cowboy Festival. She delights audiences with her warm, genuine and energetic personality, singing and guitar playing abilities.
