The Genoa Cowboy Festival will be held in historic Genoa, Nevada April 30-May 3, 2015. It is a blend of a scenic setting, entertainment, heritage and Western culture. Nestled at the base of the Sierra Nevada, historic Genoa is the site of the first ranch in Nevada and still has working cattle ranches literally steps from the center of town.
From its 19th century beginnings, cowboys and ranching have shared work, words and music there. You’d be hard pressed to find a better place to celebrate the unique forms of Cowboy Music, Cowboy Poetry, Old West history and the Western lifestyle.

Submitted by paula on Wed, 03/25/2015 - 11:37pm
It was a blast from the past today as I spoke with Night Ranger's drummer Kelly Keagy. We covered everything from playing discos in my hometown of Fremont, CA in the 70s to playing in large arenas with the likes of Kiss and ZZTop, to playing at the Hard Rock Casino Lake Tahoe this weekend.
Keagy is one of the founding members of the band Night Ranger. He and buddies Jack Blades and Brad Gillis formed the band in 1979, and the three are still performing around the world as well as recording albums today.
