Popular broadcaster Jim Thompson and Creative Broadcast Services present Heritage of the American West, with "music and poetry of the great American Cowboy" on the third Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM (MT). Directed by Francie Ganje, the show brings top talent from across the West to an appreciative audience. The show takes place before a live audience at the High Plains Heritage Center in Spearfish, South Dakota and is broadcast simultaneously on the web (archived web broadcasts are available).
Recent Heritage of the American West guests include Red Steagall, Juni Fisher, Brenn Hill, Yvonne Hollenbeck, Andy Nelson, DW Groethe, Yvonne Hollenbeck, R. W. Hampton, Ken Overcast, Rodney Nelson, Elizabeth Ebert, Robert Dennis, and other top cowboy poets and Western musicians. The schedule includes a Cowboy Poetry Week show in April, a special anniversary show each August, a Cowboy Christmas show in December, and an Easter Country Gospel show.
See the Heritage of the American West web site for the show's schedule and to listen to archived broadcasts.
Heritage of the American West, which "utilizes the uniqueness of radio and the web," is available at no charge to radio stations for live or re-broadcast. Contact Jim Thompson at Creative Broadcast Services for more information.
