Riders in the Sky ride into C of I

Riders in the Sky

“美国最受欢迎的牛仔”将于9月23日在朱伊特礼堂举行两场充满牛仔经典和西部智慧的演出。 加入天空骑士,在惊险的旅程中回到过去,向标志性的西部电影、音乐和电视明星罗伊·罗杰斯致敬,他是无可争议的“牛仔之王”。 The evening show features family-friendly favorites from Roy’s long career that include Don’t Fence Me In, Pecos Bill, Happy Trails and more wrapped up in the Riders’ two-time Grammy-winning high yodeling style. “Roy was my idol, plain and simple,” says Rider Too Slim. “This show will trigger (sorry about that) a lot of memories for folks our age, and introduce new generations to a wonderful man and artist who deserves to be celebrated.”

To help introduce a younger crowd to this genre, Caldwell Fine Arts also presents a one-hour Grandparents Show. Riders in the Sky are well known for their Grammy-winning soundtracks for Toy Story 2 and Monsters, Inc. The Grandparents Show will combine classic cowboy music with Pixar favorites in a show that all generations will appreciate. Before each concert, a Wild West Town will offer horseshoes, stick horse races, panning for gold, and a photo booth.

Alison Moulton, Executive Director of Caldwell Fine Arts, hopes to see all ages attending together. “Lots of grandmas take their granddaughters to our Nutcracker Ballet and Clara’s Tea Party," she said. "We thought it would be fun to create an event where grandpas could take their grandchildren out for a night of cowboy fun. Riders is a group that will please all ages.”

In 1982, Riders In The Sky became the first, and to date only, exclusively Western music artist to join the Grand Ole Opry, the longest running radio show in history. After 30 years, the never-ending trail drive continues. The ponies are rested and watered, and America's Favorite Cowboys are ready to saddle up and ride, bringing good beef to hungry people wherever they may be.

The Grandparent Show will start at 4 p.m. and the Tribute to Roy Rogers will start at 7 p.m. Tickets for the Grandparent Show range from $8-12 for adults and $5-10 for children, while the evening concert features tickets in the $10-25 range for adults and $5-12 range for children.

Tickets are available at www.caldwellfinearts.org or (208) 459-5275.
