As their name suggests, The Tumbling Tumbleweeds
are a tribute to the Silver Screen Cowboys such as The Sons of
the Pioneers, Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. Although The Tumbling
Tumbleweeds feel the Sons of the Pioneers are the "blue print"
they do bring their very own unique brand of entertainment to
the world of Western Music with a show complete with singing,
humor, storytelling and a bit of fancy western footwork! They
also write and perform their own original songs written and sung
in the style of the Sons of the Pioneers!
It is also the mission of The
Tumbling Tumbleweeds to reach and engage as many young people
as possible so that the legacy of Western Music isn't lost in
the midst of the ever declining state of "pop-culture"
but can live on to the next generation of music lovers.
With a blend of western heritage
and movie nostalgia they are “Family Entertainment”
through and through!
"It is our
belief that it is the “story” within each western
song that makes it so uniquely western and gives it a life of
its own. The cowboy era was an era of legend and folklore and
it is that element of story that we Tumbleweeds wish to honor,
as well as the integrity of the richly harmonious musical legacy
of the Sons of the Pioneers themselves. Their sound transports
us to a time and place that was so much more innocent and peaceful
than that of our world today and it is that sound that drew us
to their music and that which we also wish to carry on."
- "Tumbleweed Rob" Wolfskill

Tumbling Tumbleweeds are pleased to announce their NEW SPONSOR!
