Gone With The West Band
What do you get when you combine award-winning singer/songwriters, four-part harmony, a fiddle, keys, two guitars and lyrical imagery drawn from the West? You get taken on a musical journey out West, cowboy and cowgirl life (and love!), campfires, horses, music and the beauty of the landscape.
Western music’s new supergroup, Nashville-based GONE WITH THE WEST delivers high onstage energy, honey-smooth harmonies and seasoned musicianship, with an entertaining mix of traditional and original Western music. The band was the featured performing group for the International Western Music Association’s annual award show in Albuquerque, and is starting up a second year of touring.
This powerhouse all-female band includes multiple IWMA/AWA/Wrangler-winning vocalist and songwriter Mary Kaye Holt; vocalist/keyboardist Micki Fuhrman, winner of a WWA Spur Award (Best Western Song) and the 2023 Wrangler (Best Traditional Western album); Spanish-born singer/songwriter/guitarist Tecia McKenna, winner of the 2023 IWMA Songwriting Competition and Coloradoan Merna Lewis, aka “The Barefoot Fiddler,” a fourth-generation female fiddle player and 2023 IWMA Musician of the Year Nominee.
Terry Nash
Terry Nash has been a top five finalist for the last four years for the Western Music Association Male Cowboy Poet of the Year award. He was raised on a farm/ranch cow/calf operation on the High Plains of Colorado, near Idalia. In the late eighties, Terry drifted to a small ranch near Loma, Colorado, where he and his wife Kathy raise horses, hay and beef, and spend as much time on the mountain horseback as possible. Along with writing and reciting his original cowboy poems, Terry brings classic cowboy poetry to stages throughout the West, and has recently co-written a couple songs. Note: Don’t ask him to sing!
