Formed in 2005, The Tumbling Tumbleweeds are celebrating their Five Year Anniversary!  Since their premiere they have gone on to capture the Academy of Western Artists Will Rogers Award for Western Music Group of the Year and the Western Music Association Crescendo Award for Most Promising Talent!  They were also named one of the Top 10 Live Acoustic Acts in Southern California by FolkWorks Magazine!   As their name suggests, The Tumbling Tumbleweeds are a tribute to the era that gave us Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and the great swing time cowboy band, The Sons of the Pioneers. Although The Tumbling Tumbleweeds feel the Sons of the Pioneers are their "blue print" they do bring their very own unique brand of entertainment to the world of Western Music with a show complete with singing, humor, storytelling and a bit of fancy western footwork. The Tumbling Tumbleweeds also write, perform and record their own original songs written in the style of the delightfully unique period in which they pay tribute to!  It is also the mission of The Tumbling Tumbleweeds to reach and engage as many young people as possible so that the legacy of Western Music isn't lost in the midst of the ever declining state of "pop-culture" but can live on to the next generation of music lovers.
