These two award winning Western Artists are those of a dying breed of Westerners. 
Each has been recognized by their peers to be a couple of the most talented songwriters,
singers and story-tellers of the true Cowboy entertainment genre in America today.
Together, TJ & Jim found magic by combining their songwriting, vocal dynamics
instrumentation and indeed their refreshing entertainment capabilities.
They are of one mind in their musical pursuits to promote and maintain
both the history and present contributions of Cowboys and Ranchers
to our North American culture.

TJ has shared the stage with Ian Tyson, Merle Haggard, Dirks Bentley, and the Everly Brothers. He has been nominated as one of the Top 5 Finalists for Rising Star and Western Swing Album of the Year and a Top 10 Finalist for Western Song and Western Music Male of the Year.
 
The majority of Jim's life has revolved around horses and cattle with an undying love for the peace and grandeur of wide open spaces.  He is an energetic singer/songwriter who has opened for Kenny Rogers, BJ Thomas and even rocker Tommy James.   In 2005, he was one of the Top 5 Nominees for the Academy of Western Artists Will Rogers Award for 'Rising Star' of the year.  Jim’s unique picking style and historical songwriting of the early cattle drives and roundups is his signature.
