Description

Mountain Jams Concert Series is proud to present a hometown favorite: The Original Cowboy Band, free at Library Park Stage. The Original Cow Boy Band is a 2005 reincarnation of a concert band that was formed in 1879 in Dodge City, Kansas, whose purpose at the time was to play for stockmen's conventions. In 1890 the band moved to Silverton, Colorado, followed by Ouray in 1902, Pueblo in 1903, and ending up in Idaho Springs, Colorado, in 1905. In 2005, The Original Cow Boy Band was re-formed at the request of Wil Swart of Evergreen to perform at a Memorial Day ceremony in Idaho Springs, 100 years to the day after the band played the same ceremony there in 1905. The band now consists of both amateur and professional musicians, with a music library that has expanded over the years to include patriotic, americana, western, big band, oktoberfest and christmas music. Mountain Jams is brought to you by the Friends of the Georgetown Library, Georgetown Business Promotion Commission, Georgetown Cultural Arts Program, Georgetown Loop Railroad, and Guanella Pass Brewing Company. Generous support has also been provided by the Georgetown Library Association, Evergreen National Bank, Historic Georgetown, Inc., Buckskin Trading Company, Rose Street Bed & Breakfast, Argent Real Estate, and Cooper’s on the Creek.
