 Featured on Michigan Folk Live! My cut of Dave Stamey's great song "Rosa May" was featured in a special "Happy Trails" Western Edition of the Michigan Folk Live podcast in February. It was pretty exciting to be included in a cast that featured names like Juni Fisher, Dave Stamey, Joyce Woodson and Clay Canfield. You can go listen to the podcast here: www.michiganfolklive.citymax.com/WesternPodcast1.html and please leave them a message telling them that you appreciate their support of Western Music! Back to Durango Cora and I were real pleased to be invited back to Durango for the 20th Anniversary of the Durango Cowboy Gathering. They have a lot of special additions to the gathering this year, and we are thrilled to be going back. I think we get to entertain on the special train they are running on the Durango to Silverton line, and Cora is certainly excited about that! My good friend Paul Harris has been invited as well, so it should be a fun time. How can it not be, with featured names like Ian Tyson, Joel Nelson, Don Edwards and Gary McMahon (we are just excited to be playing the same town as these guys!). You can get more information at www.durangocowboygathering.org/ . Southern Colorado is gorgeous in the fall, and this would be a great year to take in the Durango Cowboy Gathering. We hope to see you there! |

Born and raised in Southern New Mexico, Laurie Wood started playing guitar when she was sixteen. After playing in “at least a dozen” different country bands over as many years she grew disillusioned with the music and the lifestyle, finally quitting music altogether. Now, more than 15 years later, Laurie has felt the call to dust off her guitar, and is playing the music that she really loves. She says she played “Top Forty” Country for money, but it was always Western music and Cowboy songs that she played for friends, family, and herself. She calls Wyoming home these days, along with husband Duane, who is the cow/calf manager on CSU’s One Bar Eleven ranch near Encampment. They have two children, Cora Rose, 5 (who you will often see on stage with Laurie), and Bonner, 2 ½.
Laurie has performed at the Sagebrush Cowboyography Poetry and Music Gathering in Sheridan, WY; the Grand Encampment Cowboy Gathering in Encampment, WY; the Riverton, WY Cowboy Roundup; and the Durango Cowboy Gathering in Durango, CO. She is a member of the Cowboy Poets of the Wind River, Treasurer for the Grand Encampment Cowboy Gathering Outfit, and President of the Snowy Range Cattle Women. |
