Genoa Cowboy Poetry & Music Festival

billzc — Wed, 2010-12-22 10:23

The Genoa Cowboy Poetry & Music Festival is a wonderful blend of setting, heritage and western culture and entertainment. Nestled at the base of the Sierra Nevada in the beautiful Carson Valley, historic Genoa is the site of the first ranch in Nevada and still has working cattle ranches literally steps from the town. From its 19th century beginnings, cowboys and ranching have shared work, words and music here. In 2010, this made the inaugural Genoa Cowboy Poetry & Music Festival a natural. Join us in 2011 as headliners Paul Zarzyski, Dave Stamey, Belinda Gail and Wylie & the Wild West take the stage. There's more, like workshops, galleries of art and collectibles and cowboy dinners and dances, all within historic Genoa. There's even a trail ride into the Pinenut Mountains.

Master coach maker

J.W. Brown

David Wolfe

To most people, the word “stagecoach” conjures romantic images of a six-up team thundering across the prairie, kicking dust in its wake. To J.W. Brown, the word connotes metal and wood—the myriad pieces it takes to actually build a stagecoach, each fitting perfectly according to the blueprint in his mind.

The Art of the Cowboy Way

J.P.S. Brown tells of a prodigal son who discovers his true calling thanks to his father and ranch living.

By J.P.S. Brown

The Mexican vaquero says if during a difficult journey you want to know if your horse is finished, dismount and pull his tail. If he resists, count on him to continue.
