Diehards Ride Hard for the Gathering
Friday January 31, 2025 9:00am - 11:00am PST
Elko Convention Center - Auditorium
If you’re our type—the kind who is up and at ’em before the first birds, we’ll see you at this special morning show featuring Doris Daley, Hot Club of Cowtown, and Brigid & Johnny Reedy, with appearances by Waddie Mitchell and other guests. Kick off your Friday right with a chance to participate in a live auction and give in support of the Western Folklife Center’s mission. As a nonprofit, we are committed to keeping tickets affordable and accessible, but ticket revenue only covers a third of all we do. The rest comes from the generous support of folks like you!

A special show of support!
