Tuesday January 28, 2025 7:00pm - 8:30pm PST
From the Ruby Mountains to the Owyhee Desert, from the Humboldt River to the Jarbidge Wilderness, from the hot springs to the quakies, Nevada’s expanses leave an imprint on a person’s soul. Cowboy poet Ross Knox earned his stripes on the Great Basin’s big outfits. Katie McCall-Owen was raised on the Silver State’s remote ranges. And, special guest Richard Elloyan lives and sings at the edge of Nevada’s dark starry skies. Together, in Elko, they bring you an evening of entertainment that sparkles like a buckaroo’s breath on a sunny winter day.
