Bar J Wranglers

Some folks call it a western music show; some call it a stand-up comedy show with masterful cowboy music; others call it the best musical experience in the West. Call it what you want, the fact remains: The Bar J Wranglers from Jackson Hole, Wyoming deliver some of the purest harmony, best musicianship and funniest ranch humor ever seen on stage. As soon as the Bar J Wranglers take to the stage, listeners leave behind their busy lives and settle into a time long ago - a time of the singing cowboy.

Bryan Ragsdale

Bryan Ragsdale is a MODERN DAY MOUNTAIN MAN from Wyoming who writes songs about living life under a big blue sky. His music reflects the values he was raised with, the values he teaches his own children, ideals that are often overlooked in mainstream music today. Bryan redefines “cowboy cool” for the modern world with an upbeat mix of country, bluegrass, and folk with some old fashioned cowboy swagger thrown in for good measure. He plays over 200 shows a year at schools, festivals, libraries, coffee shops, and theaters around the globe. His first single, “Modern Day Mountain Man” received airplay on over 500 radio stations worldwide, and was nominated for Country Song of the Year by the Independent Singer Songwriters Association and the Spirit Awards in 2009. His latest album, Where Cowpokes Grow, has been nominated for Country Album of the Year by the Independent Music Awards 2009. Due to all his success and his breakneck touring schedule, Bryan was just named to the Music Connection’s Top 100 Unsigned Artist List Worldwide. Bryan was the only country artist on the list.

Laurie Wood

Born and raised in Southern New Mexico, Laurie Wood started learning to play guitar when she was sixteen. After playing in "at least a dozen" different country bands over as many years she grew disillusioned with the music and the lifestyle, finally quitting music altogether. Now, more than 15 years later, Laurie has felt the call to dust off her guitar, and is playing the music that she really loves.
