He spent 13 years working in radio and TV but his heart was always in ranching and cowboy life. Seven years ago Hugh started the Spirit Of The West radio program with the objective to bring the livestock industry to the general public using the real words of the people on the land along with the music and poetry of the west. As well as many other awards, Hugh's show was named Canada's Best Agricultural Radio Program in two different years. His speaking engagements take him all over North America. As well as a great M.C., poet, singer, and host, Hugh is also a good hand with cattle and horses.
Butch sings the songs of the working cowboy.
He has performed all over western Canada and the US, in places such as Calgary, Tucson, Branson, and the Canadian Finals Rodeo in Edmonton. In 1998 Butch was nominated for The Academy of Western Artists's, Rising Star Award. Music has kept Ben busy for years with three albums of his own and countless others under his belt. He performs at festivals, gatherings and various other functions around the country with plans to tour Europe and Australia. Gord loves to put smiles on peoples faces, but still likes to humble folks with a few tear-jerker poems.
