WHO IS THAT CRAZY LUCKY COWBOY?
NASHVILLE, TENN July 10, 2018 LuckyCowboy.com - Ron Wilkinson AKA 'Lucky Cowboy' was born at a very young age in the "Land of Lincoln." Alton, Illinois, to be exact, is where old Lucky is from. Alton is famous for its celebrities of stage and screen. Remember Robert Wadlow, the tallest man in the world? How about TV star Clint Walker of "Cheyenne" and Butch Calvey the singer? Alton is also where one of the famous Lincoln/Douglas debates took place, and where Bluff City Beer was made. It seems Lucky was just destined to be a famous person. In his early years, Lucky appeared at the Madison Avenue Corral in Alton as a live DJ for WOKZ radio. He's been a trapeze artist, a motorcycle stunt rider, and even hosted his own carnival. He was a National Indian Chief for the Boy Scouts of America and managed a scout camp. He received an honorable discharge from the U.S. Air Force. Worked for major companies such as Coca Cola, Frito-Lay, Anheuser-Busch, Minnesota State Lottery and even managed a bar in a cave. Lucky spent some time in Minnesota where he still has many country fans. Nowadays, old Lucky is based in Nashville, TN, Music City USA. Here he founded Lucky Cowboy Productions. Member of the Country Music Association (CMA). You might catch him anywhere in Nashville, or somewhere in the rest of the USA promoting country music. He's even been on the Today Show! Lucky even has his own backyard concert and it's in it's 12th year. But you'll always find him wearing his famous forty gallon orange cowboy hat - you can't miss him wherever he goes. Lucky's favorite song is "I Feel Lucky." His handprints are on the WE Fest "Walk of Fame," and there's even a ceramic bobblehead doll of Lucky Cowboy (2001). Yep, you can bet old Lucky will continue to be a star in his own right. Watch out for The Lucky Cowboy as you might just get "Lucky!" Yeeeeeeeeehaw!!! And he's been playing cowboy since 1992. Happy 25th Anniversary 2017.

LUCKY COWBOY SINCE 1992

RICK MONROE

Last time I booked this guy was in Minnesota over 14 years ago. I had him playing in a tent at a apple orchard. He lived in California at the time. I moved to Nashville and he followed me. It took 12 years to get him to Lucky Bash, but we got him in 2018.

World-class entertainer and Nashville Recording artist Rick Monroe brings his music and a magnetic presence wherever he goes. With a down-to-earth Country resonance, Monroe is no stranger to the stage: he’s performed in 17 countries – and every U.S. state except for Oregon.

Last year alone he traveled over 100,000 miles and played over 120 shows.

Rick grew up in a variety of places - born in Clearwater, Florida, lived in California, Connecticut, Kansas, North Carolina, even England, and his love of music and outgoing personality naturally drew him to the stage. Now based in Nashville, Rick is sponsored by Monster Energy Drink.

MEET THE DESERT OKIES

PAPA TROUT

The “original” Desert Okie, Papa Trout, formed the band in 1974 in the Oklahoma State Penitentiary. After performing to a packed mess hall during the “First Annual State Pen Prom”, he was immediately pardoned by the Governor and sent to Nashville, Tennessee a free man. Dave is a songwriter, plays guitar, and keeps the band “in line” with a switch, if necessary.

CHAD TROUT

We lost Chad to cancer in early summer and he is truly missed by friends, family and fans. Rest in peace Chad. Hear our songs tonight for you.

JAIME FOX

Jaime Fox former Miss Maryland moved to Nashville from Maryland where she became an instant success singing in Nashville’s widely popular “Supper Theater” circuit. She starred as Jethro’s sister/cousin “Trish” in the Supper Theater hit “There’s More Than One Way to Cook A Possum”, Nashville’s longest running Supper Theater show to date. When not performing, Jaime spends her time polishing her Miss Maryland crown. She has performed shows in Nashville and out of state.

TRAVIS TROUT

Youngest son of the Trout family, Travis Trout, moved to Nashville, joined his brother’s Hanson tribute band “The Mmm Bops.” Travis met bassist and fellow Desert Okie, Danny Bennett, at an audition for the “Chris Gaines Tour”. When not performing, Travis spend his time on the guitar developing the “H Chord”, a chord the world is not yet ready for.

DANNY BENNETT

Originally from Greenbrier, Tennessee, bassist Danny Bennett joined The Desert Okies after a chance meeting with Travis Trout at an audition for the “Chris Gaines Tour”. Danny actually got the job, but was immediately fired for wearing a Garth Brooks T Shirt to the first rehearsal. In 2001, Danny was diagnosed with “Keanu Reeves Syndrome” and is growing younger looking at an alarming rate. Danny spends most of his time performing while he still can. His doctors say it’s only a matter of time before he looks “too young” to get in the gigs.

Mill Creek, the “rapper” of the band, is actually the only member of The Desert Okies that was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee.
