The Wild West Band To Perform At 2009 Cowboy Way Trading Post


Get ready to enjoy the musical style of the up-and-coming country group, The Wild West Band. The musical quintet will perform during the Moonlight Madness Sale on Friday, June 26, at the 2009 Cowboy Way Trading Post hosted by the Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) in Jackson, Mississippi. This concert event is free and open to the public—fans of honky-tonk tunes or heartfelt country ballads are guaranteed to enjoy The Wild West Band!

The Wild West Band has experienced recent success with their debut album, “Home Is Where The Hurt Is.” The album hit home with many country music listeners, quickly making it a success. The Wild West Band was rewarded in early 2009 when they signed with Nashville-based record company Stardust Records. Songs off their CD are being played on "Country Legends in the Making," a syndicated radio program that reaches more than 400 AM/FM stations throughout the world. The Wild West Band also has a song featured on the latest Stardust Records compilation album, which is being distributed to thousands of radio stations around the world, and is getting airplay on the Nashville Broadcasting Radio Network.

ApHC exhibitors and members may see a familiar face or two in The Wild West Band: Amy Steed, a long-time ApHC member from Cross Plains, Tenn., is one of the lead vocalists, and former ApHC member Glenn Steed of Springfield, Tenn., plays bass. The Wild West Band would not be what it is today without Darryl Douglas, songwriter, lead vocalist and lead guitar; Tim Glassford, percussion and backup vocals; and Kevin Douglas, rhythm guitar and backup vocals.

The ApHC is thrilled to have The Wild West Band perform at the Moonlight Madness Sale, so mark your calendars and join us on Friday, June 26, at 10 p.m. at the Trade Mart on the Mississippi State Fairgrounds in Jackson.

The 2009 Cowboy Way Trading Post is being held in conjunction with the 62nd National Appaloosa Show & 2009 World Championship Appaloosa Youth Show, from June 22 to July 4, at the Mississippi State Fairgrounds.
