Voted    FAME AWARDS DUET OF THE YEAR 2008:

Boxcar Bob & Cactus Willie *

You have reached the home of the musical group known as

The Cowboy and Hobo Show featuring Cactus Willie, Boxcar Bob and The Drifter.

The music is acoustical with vocal leads and harmonies.  It is a combination of Country, Folk, Bluegrass & Lite Rock n' Roll. The sound is a wonderful blending of all those styles. Very similar to the Kingston Trio and acoustic folk groups of the 1950's and  1960's. Songs you will remember and a stage presence that is truly professional.

Live performances are full of energy, humor and wonderful vocals.

Be sure and check out our Cowboy and Hobo Days Music Festival being held at the Crow Wing County Fairgrounds, Brainerd, Minnesota yearly the weekend after Labor Day. Also, our Cowboy and Hobo Country Shows down in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas.
