Live at La Fonda
With his latest release
Always a Cowboy in My Dreams, Syd Masters and his Swing Riders continue the nostalgic Western sound that is their trademark—historic trail songs from past centuries, Western Swing from the 1940s and ‘50s, and Syd’s originals.
This summer he and his trio—lead guitarist Lonnie Ohta-Mayer and bassist Gary Roller—hit the road to promote his new album after glowing reviews and great radio airplay as far away as Australia and Europe. They toured Colorado, Texas, Arizona, California, Wisconsin, and Michigan, and played 31 concerts in Branson, Missouri—a big music town.
“The Music Man of the West” started playing music at age seven and has been performing since he was a teen. He has won numerous awards from the New Mexico Music Industry Association over the years, including Best Male Vocalist, Country Song of the Year, and Best Humorous Song. He has twice won Vocalist of the Year and also penned the Official Cowboy Song of the state, “Under the New Mexico Skies.”
