Concert November 4th, 2009
Join us for some really great harmony singing, harmony yodeling and cowboy humor when KG & The Ranger, a multitalented husband and wife duo from the Midwest, bring the Old West to Pagosa, in “Songs of the Hollywood Cowboys.”
Remember how Roy Rogers and Gene Autry blazed across the Silver Screen, and always ended every movie with a song? KG & The Ranger's award-winning show is keeping those heroes and their music alive with a fresh new sound to the classic songs of the Hollywood cowboys. If you have fond memories of cowboy movie stars, or if you just like to daydream about the wide-open spaces and riding horses, you won't want to miss this show!
Seating is limited and we expect to sell out, so purchase your tickets early!

"...lightning-fast mandolin licks...phenomenal guitar picking...a cross between Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges."
Berkshire Eagle Pittsfield MA
On stage Hayes' presence is electrifying. He taps his feet on an amplified floor board, slaps accents on his guitar and cheeks, wails on the harmonica and sings charismatically. His fingers dance around the strings with incredible fluidity creating rich harmonic textures and rapid-fire riffs.
“What he was doing with that guitar gave me chills... Awesome.”
Top O’ the World WSC
The music is fresh and original but steeped in tradition; borrowing from blues, bluegrass, celtic, world beat, folk, rock and jazz.
"...styles that could be loosely termed "Mountain Music", (Hayes is an accomplished bluegrass player) but Bruce's mountains reach from the Andes to the smokies and back to his home range in Colorado." Larry Good , Aspen Daily News
