The Sons of the Pioneers, the most influential and revered of all western music groups, celebrates over 90 unbroken years of performance, thrilling audiences with enchanting harmonies and picturesque images of the majestic American West. 

The legendary group extends its remarkable run through nine decades, carrying the legacy of the outfit’s landmark, Grammy-honored music to new ears. Originals like “Cool Water,” “Tumbling Tumbleweeds,” and “The Timber Trail” have come to define western music itself and are now also deeply rooted in American culture. “They are just as influential to American culture—and Americana—as Levis, baseball, and Betsy Ross,” observes Rhapsody.com.
