Riders in the Sky at Harken Hall November 8

Harken Hall is hosting a special tribute to America’s Favorite Cowboys and Grand Ole Opry members Riders In The Sky on Saturday, November 8 to celebrate 48 years of The Cowboy Way. The doors open at 5:00 p.m. for guests to enjoy special activities for little buckaroos and adults alike. At 7:00 p.m. the concert will start with Riders In The Sky and special guests.

Riders In The Sky were the first group to play last summer at the opening of Harken Hall. The band has been the keepers of the flame passed on by Gene Autry and Roy Rogers, revising and revitalizing Western music for decades. While remaining true to the integrity of the genre, they have become modern-day icons by branding it with their own legendary wacky humor and Western wit.

Ranger Doug, Too Slim and the late Windy Bill Collins played their first date in 1977 at Herr Harry’s Frank N’ Stein Rathskeller in Nashville in a small listening room. By the next year, demand was building and while Windy Bill left, Woody Paul joined, and the true professional beginnings of the band began at the Kentucky State Fair where the trio played ten days for $2,500.

Moo Country, a western inspired attire boutique in the heart of Leiper’s Fork, Tenn. with a second location in Bozeman, Mont. will host a fashion show “Glitter & Glam Cowgirl Style” prior to the concert. The guests will likely recognize some of the “models.” There will be a coloring book station for little buckaroos along with a lasso and yodeling exhibition.

A Western themed photo booth will be featured in the Hall along with free face painting and coloring books for kids. Commemorative Riders In The Sky posters will be available for sale along with other merchandise.

Special activities for the little buckaroos include lasso lessons, yodeling exhibition, Coloring books, face painting and The Cowboy Way photo booth.
