It is time to...Saddle Up!
The annual Saddle Up! week in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee begins this evening and lasts through Sunday. Saddle Up! will feature concerts and narratives by some of America’s finest western musicians, cowboy poets and storytellers. The event features concerts from legendary western cowboy artists including Donnie Blanz, Jim Bowman, Trudy Fair, Charlie Halloway, Chris Isaacs, Brian McRae, Dan Roberts, Amanda Shires, Red Steagall and the Boys in the Bunkhouse, the Quebe Sisters, Dave Stamey, and Andy Wilkinson.
A rousing narrative play “A Way in the West” will be showcased during Saddle Up! as well. This 90 minute, one-act performance consists of six frontier women telling stories of how the wild West shaped their lives. It is a tale of freedom, struggle and triumph, delivered with charm and clarity.
Saddle Up Week is a splendid family event; people of any age can enjoy great storytelling, music and Western entertainment. Cowboy fans will love watching the Cowboy Action Shooting Competition and shopping in the Cowboy Clothing Mart.
