Ranum High School Theatre Auditorium, 2401 W. 80th Ave.
The Flying WWranglers are a world class vocal and instrumental group specializing in cowboy songs and family friendly humor. Their superb harmonies and brilliant arrangements combined with five time national fiddle championship talent and three time state guitar championship flatpicking keep audiences on the edge of their seats. The group of “sure enough” ranch working wranglers have performed with entertainers such as Patsy Montana to Ray Price and travels have taken them on stage from the Flying W Ranch in Colorado Springs, Colorado to Carnegie Hall in New York City to the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts in Washington D.C. and more. As the world’s second oldest continuously performing western music performing group they strive in “wrangler style” to preserve the cowboy as a unique American hero. There is definite “authenticity” in each performance. The Flying W Wranglers are an integral part of the modern day effort to preserve our great western music heritage.

With seven CDs and one DVD to their credit, these masterful artists continue to captivate audiences throughout the world with their signature"new acoustic" sound and boundless possibilities in blending Celtic, Folk, World & Latin music influences. Their original sound is created by the mixing of their diverse musical backgrounds
and their unusual instrumentation including the one-of-a-kind double neck guitjo, an instrument of Joe’s own design. The double-neck guitjo has 14 strings and Joe has developed his own style and technique, playing both necks simultaneously. Classically-trained cellist Hannah Alkire is recognized internationally
for her stunning tone and emotional, impeccable playing and for taking the cello places it's never been before. The two joined their personal lives after forming their musical alliance and were married in 2001. The result is a coupling of intricate and passionate music with genuine and engaging stories.
