Old Time Cowboy Music Performances

Skip Gorman's music is true to the flavor of authentic cowboy music that was performed around campfires in the West at the end of the 19th century. Whether performing solo or with his group, The Waddie Pals, Skip's music is at once plaintive and powerful. Whether singing a lonesome rendition of a night herding song with a sweet Texas lullably yodel or delivering a powerful old-time Western fiddle tune, the audience is transported to the true American West of the late 1800s.

Dressed in period bat wing chaps and spurs in the tradition of an old-time waddie cowboy, Skip uses songs, stories, poetry and variety of period instruments such as cross-tuned fiddle, guitar, cowcamp banjo, bones, harmonica, slide guitar. His stories are of vaqueros, cowgirls, black cowboys, stampedes, loneliness and love. His music contains hues of Appalachian, Native American and Celtic traditions that were heard on the Western High Plains of yesteryear.
