Kip
Calahan
is one
of the top women singers in the Western genre.
She grew up in New Mexico but followed her dream of becoming a star to
Nashville, where she had the opportunity to work with idols like Tim
McGraw, Jo De Messina, and Tracy Lawrence. On a visit back to New
Mexico,
she met the cowboy of her dreams and settled down on a ranch in southwest
New Mexico.
She now travels the country performing her original songs of cowboy life
and
traditional material. The Academy of Western Artists named her Female
Vocalist of
the Year in 2004 and awarded her the Album of the Year award in 2005.
Tom
Kerlin,
a Georgia native, is no stranger to the cowboy life or to writing, so it
was only natural he became a cowboy poet. Kerlin has traveled and worked
across the West and currently lives on his family’s ranch in Fayette
County Georgia, where he has developed a deep understanding of what it
means to be a cowboy. A journalist by profession, Kerlin enjoys combining
his love of writing with his love of the cowboy way of life.
A CD signing will follow the show in the Encore Room
adjacent to the Theatre.
Concert tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for Booth members
and $10 for students. Tickets can be purchased at the Booth Museum or by
