Remembering the good old days of Western Music and the Silver Screen Cowboys like Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and the Sons of the Pioneers, the High Country Cowboys present to you, their brand of this Classic Genre! Born and raised in the heart of ranch country in south central Montana, they grew up playing 'cowboys and ...Native Americans' and watching the old B-western films on VHS which instilled in them their love for the west and of course cowboy music. Since their beginning in 2014, the Pro Cowboy Country Association has awarded them "Music Group of the year, 2017 and 2018. They also received "Best Album of the Year" (for their album "Cowboy" in 2018). Their lead singer Marty has been awarded "Yodeler of the year" (2017) and "Male Vocalist of the Year" (2018). The International Western Music Association has also recognized their album "Cowboy" as "Best Album of the Year" 2017, and Marty has won IWMA "Yodeler of the Year" 3 times.  Their traditional sound and three part western harmony has been compared to the Sons of the Pioneers and Marty Robbins.

Internationally-acclaimed guitar virtuoso Trace Bundy must be seen, not just heard. His music is poetry in motion, using harmonics, looping, multiple capos, and his unique banter and stage presence to deliver an unforgettable live concert experience. Listening to his intricate arrangements is one thing, but seeing the fan-dubbed “Acoustic Ninja” play live confounds even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands and ten fingers.
