My group and I have entertained at many venues.

Chelsea Cunningham

She's been named "rising star" and "the fresh voice of ranch music" but to 3 young boys she answers to mom. Chelsea Cunningham has a lot on the go and doesn't slow down for much. Raising a commercial beef herd in the foothills of Alberta and training ranch geldings along with her husband Aaron is how this lady spends her time along with her commitment to family. She's taken the songs she writes a few miles down the road, and they've always been good company, be it at a festival, a gala dinner or in somebody's living room. You can't miss it that she's a cowboy when you see her, but she says it's not intentional. "I never set out to sing cowboy music, I set out to sing and write about the things I'm passionate about, but I guess those things have always been colored in cowboy."
