The Silver City Public Library will present Music of the Ranch and Open Range on Friday, January 17, 6:00pm.

Cowboy music has evolved from the open range and ranch employees who worked and rode after cattle during the late 19th and early to mid 20th century. These include songs written by ranch hands about horses, cattle and lost love. Others add death and the devil to the story. But all have in common the expression of what ranch and farm work was like during this time. Steve Cormier performs these and also songs he has written, reflecting his years as a ranch and farm hand.

Doors open 30 minutes before the beginning of the concert. First come, first seated. The library concert series is free thanks to the Friends of the Library!

The library is located at 515 W. College Avenue on the corner of College and Cooper Street in Silver City. Contact the library at 575-538-3672 or programs@silvercitymail.com for more information.
