Cowboys and Outlaws
"Cowboys and Outlaws" takes us on a musical journey through classic country. Whether they wear a black hat, or white, you will hear them all including; Hank Williams, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Willie Nelson, and Patsy Montanna in this high energy tribute to the music and the performers who have made western music what it is today.
Cowboys and Outlaws is the third tribute show created by C2 Entertainment that focuses on the magic and times gone by of Country and Western music in North America. This show focuses on the Western side of this musical style.
Act one begins with a look at the pioneers of Western song such as Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, and Dale Evans, Bob Wills, Tex Ritter, and many other’s. These artists where known as the Cowboys in the White hats. This music spoke of good hearted cowpokes living on the open range and singing songs of a better time when life was simpler. All a Cowboy needed was his horse, saddle and the wind on his back. Life moved slower then and this was reflected in the songs of that moment in time.
Act two looks at the slow transformation of a Cowboys song into tales of hardship, struggle, and love lost. These where known as Cowboys in the Black hats. This cast of characters including Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Marty Robbins, Waylon Jennings and the man in black John R. Cash. These Cowboys sang songs of gambling, drinking and cheating on the one you love. We also look at the careers of these singers and the stories that made them such influences in the darker side of Country and Western music for the past few decades.
Cowboys and Outlaws features one man and one woman performing all your favourite songs. Marie Bottrell, Canadian country music singer-songwriter, will be starring in the show. Eighteen of Bottrell's singles made the RPM Country Tracks charts, including five which reached the Top Ten. Bottrell won the Canadian Country Music Association award for Female Vocalist of the Year in 1983 and 1984 and was nominated for Country Female Vocalist of the Year at the Juno Awards every year from 1979-1986.
