The Sons of the Pioneers, formed in 1934, forever transformed cowboy music with their thrilling harmonies and poetic images of the West, and they still shoulder the standard for western music to this day. Founded by Roy Rogers (then known as Leonard Slye), Bob Nolan, and Tim Spencer, the group has remained together continuously since then, rotating through 47 members over the years. This award-winning, legendary organization continues to gain fans young and old, playing original favorites like “Cool Water” and “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” and others rooted deeply in western lore. These five accomplished musicians bring fresh energy to this classic genre, taking audiences time-traveling into the great American West with them. The Pioneers are the most decorated group in Western music, winning honors such as the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Western Music Association Hall of Fame, the National Cowboy Hall of Fame, the Texas Swing Hall of Fame, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame, to name a few. The group’s renditions of “Tumbling Tumbleweeds” and “Cool Water” have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and the Smithsonian Institution has named the group one of America’s “National Treasures.”
