Wylie & the Wild West, a “goodtime country band,” blend cowboy, swing, folk, and yodeling together for a unique performance! T. Scot Wilburn and the Shut Up -N- Playboys draw inspiration from hillbilly swing and Western tunes, and Brenn Hill’s music and stories are a bit more contemporary. Saddle Up will also feature exciting performances by Chuck Pyle, Jean & Gary Prescott, and Skip Gorman.
