2010-2012 TEXAS TOURING ARTIST

"The Cowboy Ain’t Dead Yet!” is an inspiring one man, one act musical comedy about the most fascinating character to ever ride across the pages of history, the American Cowboy.  Joe Texas is out
 to dispel the rumor the cowboy is a dying breed and through songs, stories and poems of the west,
Joe will share with you the real story of the cowboy not the Hollywood version.
It’s a “cowboy thang” and much more. Audiences of all ages from all walks of life from
Portland to Paris, from Chicago to San Antonio agree this show is a WINNER!

“Robert Joe Vandygriff as Joe Texas in the musical comedy “The Cowboy Ain’t Dead Yet!” is OUTSTANDING!” 
Springfield News

Joe Texas sings, twirls a rope, plays harmonica, banjo, guitar and even throws in a few dance steps during the show. His expressions and timing have been compared to the legendary comic, Red Skelton, his wit to Will Rogers and his soulful vocal delivery is pure joy to the ear.  The set is simple, a campfire, saddle, corral fence and a couple of steer heads but it’s extremely effective. The show is completely self-contained and adaptable to any size venue, large or small, inside or outside.

 "Funniest cowboy I ever met, dead or alive.  GREAT show!"
Kris Miller-Globe Center for the Performing Arts-Amarillo, TX

In this highly acclaimed show there’s never a dull moment as Joe’s
quick wit keeps the audiences laughing and his touching stories will bring tears to your eyes.  It is
 the only show of its kind touring and will most definitely broaden your audience. 
Affordable and adaptable therefore producing a profit on your bottom line.

“R.J. Vandygriff portrays the American cowboy with talent and authenticity;
he can write, sing and he's the real thing!"
