About me
Darrell Holden is a proud fifth-generation rancher who raises cattle on Utah’s West Desert. He started writing cowboy poetry in high school, but he only started performing after gentle nudges from his family (“nudges” may have been slightly veiled threats of bodily harm.) He writes about his life—humor, strife, pain, joy, and anything ranching. Darrell carries the legacy handed to him from his ancestors, advocating for ranching families and working as a steward of livestock and nature. He finds writing therapeutic and healing for his heart. He is married to his best friend and sweetheart Angie, with whom he shares two children who are top hands. Darrell is happiest ahorseback with family among cattle.
