Whether it's cowboy poetry or songs from the prairie, musicians and writers continue to be inspired by the folklore and storytelling of the American West. Hundreds of artists recently gathered in New Mexico for the annual International Western Music Association conference.
Black Hills artists were well represented. Brad Exton is president of the Black Hills & Beyond chapter of the IWMA. He also sings with the Ramblin' Rangers alongside his wife Bonnie Jo Exton.
Sherl Cederburg is a poet. She was nominated for 2022 Cowboy Poetry CD of the Year.
The three artists join Lori Walsh on In the Moment to share what inspires them about Western music and storytelling.
