Kristyn Harris headlines the 2025 Gathering
Kristyn Harris, of Burleson, Texas, is a multi award winning singer, songwriter and entertainer known for her western swing spin on original and classic songs of the western and rural lifestyle. She is recognized for her powerful voice, swing rhythm guitar chops, songwriting, yodeling, and energetic stage presence, as well as the passion and authenticity that she puts into each performance.
Kristyn tours across the U.S. and internationally, both as a solo artist as well as fronting various band configurations. When she’s not touring, she can be found with her black angus cattle herd, training her newest colt, or trick riding.
She has been named International Western Music Association Entertainer of the Year 5 times and IWMA Female Performer of the Year 7 times, and her latest recording project was honored by the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City for “Outstanding Western Album”.
She has also recently received recognition for her music from the CMA of Texas and the International Red Carpet Awards in the Netherlands.
We will have 70 cowboy poets and Western musicians and 20+ Western vendors again this year. Don’t miss our red-hot vintage Western $2.00 raffle that everyone enjoys! Be sure to follow us on Facebook to keep up with the latest developments.
The Mission of the Montana Cowboy Poetry Gathering & Western Music Rendezvous is to celebrate and preserve historic cowboy traditions through the art of cowboy poetry and western music.
The Vision of the Montana Cowboy Poetry Gathering & Western Music Rendezvous is to preserve historic cowboy traditions through “live” performance of cowboy poetry and western music, honoring every culture and region from which the cowboy way originated and still thrives today.
Located in the middle of Montana, Lewistown is everything Western. We are surrounded by three beautiful mountain ranges; a ‘blue ribbon’ trout stream runs right through town; and our Main Street looks much as it did 100 years ago when cattle, lumber and mining were thriving.
Come and join us for some pure mountain air and beautiful Charlie Russell sunsets--and our Montana Cowboy Poetry Gathering & Western Music Rendezvous! We’re “Keepin’ It Cowboy,” from somewhere in the middle of Montana.
