Michael Martin Murphey's Cowboy Christmas Tour will return to Old Town Theatre this year. The 2018 show sold out, so don't wait to get your tickets for this amazing performance. Join our e-mail list and get a first chance at premium seats at discounted prices!
Murphey’s return to his Texas-cowboy roots comes at a time when we are facing the rapid deterioration of our crowded world's most precious resources: Land and Water.
"This generation of the human family is witnessing the emergence of their home as a desert planet", Murphey, a passionate lifelong rancher-poet, recently said. "Two-thirds of the Earth's land surface is grassland plain. Eighty percent of its soil is dying. This is due to a lack of grazing animals — cattle, sheep, buffalo, deer, elk, goats, even free-range chickens and pigs. We need vastly more split-hooved grazing animals that turn up the soil — managed by the world's stockmen and stockwomen — to replicate the rotational-grazing habits of wild herds to restore grasslands for the creatures and life-forms that thrive there."
Trammel S. Crow, Jr., founder of Earth Day Texas 2016, asked Murphey to become the Official Ambassador for the event.
With Murphey Western Institute, they created the Grazing Land Restoration Initiative.
“Michael is more than an award-winning country western singer-songwriter,” said Crow. “He is also an avid steward of the culture and landscape of the American West. We have a mutual interest in protecting the environment for future generations.”
Come join us on December 19, 2019, at 7 p.m., as Murph shares Texas history and experience with his audience in a unique and beautiful night of music. Tickets for our email customers will go on sale July 1, 2019.
