Taking rodeo action and LIVE country music entertainment on the road, the American Cowboy Showdown (sanctioned by the IPRA) is a fun-filled, family and neighborly outing that embraces an all-American spirit and caters to the blue collar, AG, farming, ranching and trucking communities, and lifestyle.

“Our goal in hosting these events in our rural communities is two-fold: to continue and enliven the heritage of the American tradition, and extend the health and livelihood of the world’s oldest sport,” said country music traditionalist and music business vet, Kolt Barber. “We are very excited in these partnerships and proud to align with like-minded companies and organizations that share the same vision.”

With many events contracted to date (and more being secured throughout the remainder of the year), the Southeast leg of the tour is set to launch in Booneville, MS on Saturday, June 19. American Cowboy Showdown organizers continue to partner with various sponsors and local youth organizations.  For more information visit koltbarber.com or americancowboyshowdown.com.
