The Cowboy Way showcased their talents with two performances this week in Green Valley, AZ.
The Cowboy Way is a trio of award-winning musicians from New Mexico, consisting of Mariam Funke, Doug Figgs, and Jim Jones. They recently gave a concert in Green Valley, AZ. They have been named Western Group of the Year four times by the International Western Music Association and have taken home numerous individual awards from the IWMA, the Western Writers of America, the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, and the Academy of Western Artists, among others. Their music captures the spirit of the West…the past, the present, the future, the values, challenges, and allure, while their lively shows feature tight harmonies, high energy, and smokin’ instrumentals.
It was fun to reconnect with Jim Jones, musician, songwriter, and author.
Before and after each of the performances, Jim was able to sell his books and CDs. Business looked brisk.
Since we were sitting a bit far back from the stage, photo opportunities were limited with so many people in front of me.
It was quite an enjoyable evening hearing these talented musicians play a variety of songs. Many were original, and the performers put their own spin on several Bob Dylan tunes. Each performer used several different instruments throughout the evening. The unexpected came at the end of the show; Jim thanked the crowd for coming and then thanked me for coming. It was impressive to hear this "shoutout"!
