J.D. Seibert is one of cowboy poetry’s premier youthful talents. His original and witty poems are derived from his first hand experiences with cowboying throughout the West. Steering clear of Western movie cliches and the drug store cowboy image, J.D. strives to deliver his audience a true slice of cowboy life through his performances. His live show appeals to both city slickers and seasoned Buckaroos alike, serving up choice poems that go down easily, but sometimes have the tendency to come back up later, like a piece of regurgitated cud.

As a resident of the one horse town of Agua Dulce California, J.D. attends the numerous local brandings that go on throughout the year and trains horses in his spare time. J.D. has performed at many venues including: The Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival; The Autry National Center’s Museum of the American West; The William S. Hart Museum; The Santa Barbara Natural History Museum; Snaffle Bit Futurity and the Santa Clarita Cowboys in the Schools programs. His poems have been published in such magazines as Western Horseman, Cowboy Magazine and CowboyPoetry.com.

Currently, J.D. has three spoken word and instrumental albums, Bend or Break (2005) and Rangeland Rhymes and Prairie Poems (2006). Cowboy Poetry is his third.
