ABOUT THE ARTIST

Andy Nelson
Pinedale, WY
Andy Nelson is an energetic and high-spirited cowboy poet and humorist from Pinedale, Wyoming. As a second-generation farrier raised in Idaho, he traveled the Great Basin with his father on farrier jobs. Now, he and his brother Jim co-host the Clear Out West (C.O.W.) Radio Show weekly podcast, and are in demand as announcers at regional rodeos. Andy offers a wide range of the history, heritage, and hilarity of cowboy culture through the traditional poetry of rhyme and meter and the ever-popular American cowboy art of storytelling. With his experience, talent, and comedic flair, Andy brings an authentic and entertaining touch to any audience.
