World-Famous Cowboy Band Takes on The Texas Cowboy Reunion
Saddle Up for a Musical Reunion at the Texas Cowboy Reunion!
On Friday, July 4, and Saturday, July 5, the legendary Cowboy Band will once again bring its signature sound to the 95th annual Texas Cowboy Reunion in Stamford, Texas—continuing a celebrated tradition.
The Cowboy Band has participated in this event since the mid-1930s, performing at over 85 Cowboy Reunions since then. The Cowboy Reunion is the world’s largest amateur rodeo.
Since that historic debut, the band’s presence has become a central fixture of Stamford’s annual celebration of Western heritage and Independence Day, embodying a unique blend of musical excellence and cowboy culture.
For nearly a century, the band has helped open the grand entry, lead parades, and provide unforgettable musical experiences under the West Texas sky. Their performances have become a symbol of both HSU pride and the enduring spirit of the American West.
Even if you can’t be there in person, you can still catch the action — The Cowboy Channel will livestream the event, sharing this iconic slice of HSU history with fans nationwide.
