3 TRAILS WEST
Steeped in the cowboy tradition of singing songs about cattle drives and riding horses, pretty girls back home, nature's splendor, and livin' the life of a cowboy, the music of 3 TRAILS WEST reflects the romanticism of the Western lifestyle and nostalgia of the silver screen cowboy. S.O.P. (Standard Operating Procedure) for the band is S.O.P. (Sons of the Pioneers), cause cowboy vocals don't get any better than that! 3 TRAILS WEST is comprised of three seasoned Kansas City musicians: Roger & Leo Eilts and Garry Bury.
