Saddle up and ride back into the nostalgic era of the singing cowboys at the Wild Old West Dinner and Show, returning to Farnsworth Hall for another season of Wild West music, food and fun.
The dinner and show take place on Saturdays this year on Jan. 5, Feb. 9 and March 9. Dinner for all shows is at 6 p.m., and the show is at 7 p.m., at 6159 E. University Drive in Mesa.
The show features the internationally acclaimed singing cowboy Pioneer Pepper with The Sunset Pioneers and dazzling showgirls. This multi-talented cowboy singing and dancing group keeps the Old West alive with their attention grabbing mixture of traditional cowboy music, comedy and choreography.
Performing such nostalgic songs as Tumbling Tumble Weeds, Cool Water, Ghost Riders and Back in the Saddle Again, this notable troupe takes you back to the days of Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and Marty Robbins, reminding audiences that a little bit of cowboy lives on in us all.
The Sunset Pioneers are international entertainers and have been to Austria, England, Canada and across the United States. They performed for the Little House on the Prairie TV show reunion at the Western Film Festival, filmed with the BBC-TV for the TV series Only in America and with the Midwest Country TV Show, on RFD-TV Network.
They performed in Hollywood at the legendary House of Blues on Sunset Boulevard, and have been named Fender Artists. As the official town balladeers of Gilbert, Arizona, they were hailed Top Personalities of the Year by the Arizona Republic newspaper.
The Academy of Western Artists nominated their album, Wagon Load of Western Songs, for the Album of the Year and the esteemed Will Rogers Award. Pioneer Pepper and The Sunset Pioneers recently were featured on ESPN Monday Night Football, representing the sights and sounds of Arizona.
Earlier this year, Pioneer Pepper proudly released Old Hymns of the Cowboys, his fifth album, and was honored to have the album cover painted by Jack Sorenson, the No. 1 selling Western artist in America.
