Buckin' Rodeo

Music

Same bus, same dirt.

Country music and rodeo have been riding the same interstates for a century. The artists who actually know one end of a horse from the other, the rodeos that book the real acts, and the songs written from a truck seat between two arenas.

What we cover

The overlap.

01

Rodeos that book real artists

Headliner bookings from Houston to Cheyenne to Calgary to the regional circuits most writers skip.

02

Artists who actually ride

The ones who spent time in a barn before they spent time on a bus. Who they are, what they own, what they listen to.

03

The scenes beneath the scene

Austin, Stephenville, Muscle Shoals, Bakersfield, Billings. Towns that stamp songwriters and cowboys out of the same truck stop.

04

The road, shared

Cowboys and bands drive the same interstates. Same truck stops. Same diner. We report from both dashboards.
