Within today’s modern landscape cluttered with technology and fast-paced living it is not very often one is able to slow down and remember a time when things were a bit less hectic and a lot more carefree. The Tumbling Tumbleweeds have come along to remind us of just that time, when the cowboy was king and the Wild West was a chapter in our history to be both revered and celebrated.

As their name suggests The Tumbling Tumbleweeds are deeply inspired by the Sons of the Pioneers whom they consider to be the masters of cowboy music. “As vocalists we find their music and harmonies totally irresistible and as Westerners we find their songs to be a romantic tribute to the West that was.”

The Tumbling Tumbleweeds were formed in 2005 and are active members of the Western Music Association. Since their premiere appearance at the Western Music Festival in November 2007 where they were received with overwhelming enthusiasm, they have gone on to win the 2008 AWA Will Rogers Award for Western Music Group of the Year and the WMA Crescendo (Most Promising Talent) Award and their debut album hit #1 on the Top 10 Cowboy/Western Music CD Chart! Thier second Album titled, Blaze Across the West is already on the Western Music Charts and is receiving critical acclaim as well as radio airplay all around the world!

The Tumbling Tumbleweeds have been performing in clubs and festivals all over the Southern California area and have developed a sizeable fan base since their beginning in 2005. It is the mission of The Tumbling Tumbleweeds to reach and engage as many young people as possible so that the legacy of Western Music isn't lost in the midst of the ever declining state of "pop-culture" but can live on to the next generation of music lovers. With a blend of western heritage and movie nostalgia they are “Family Entertainment” through and through!

"It is our belief that it is the “story” within each western song that makes it so uniquely western and gives it a life of its own. The cowboy era was an era of legend and folklore and it is that element of story that we Tumbleweeds wish to honor, as well as the integrity of the richly harmonious musical legacy of the Sons of the Pioneers themselves. Their sound transports us to a time and place that was so much more innocent and peaceful than that of our world today and it is that sound that drew us to their music and that which we also wish to carry on." - "Tumbleweed Rob" Wolfskill

"To simply call this group a charming throwback to the SONS OF THE PIONEERS (complete with matching outfits) denies the originality the Tumbleweeds inject. Sure, they began as a tribute to that classic cowboy group. But they’ve grown their own identity." - Larry Wines, Acoustic Americana Music Guide News

"The great news is The Tumbling Tumbleweeds don’t sound like the SOPs. Or Riders in the Sky, or Sons of the San Joaquin. They sound 100% like The Tumbling Tumbleweeds… and that, folks, is simply wonderful!" - Rick Huff, The Western Way Magazine

Anyone who remembers the days of the Silver Screen Cowboys like Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and the Sons of the Pioneers will appreciate this musical journey back to the Old West as will children of all ages. With a show complete with singing, humor, storytelling and some fancy Western footwork they're sure to please!
