Texas Legends Kinky Friedman and Steven Fromholz Touring For Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch.
The super-successful Legends And Puppies Tour of 2008, with former gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman and Texas Poet Laureate Steven Fromholz, is back on the road once again, and it's coming to a city or town nearby! As always, it's for the benefit of the Kinkster’s favorite cause, the Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch, a 501(c)3 organization that rescues abandoned and/or abused dogs, nurtures them and places them with loving families.
Nearly every stop on the tour so far has been sold out, with several second shows added in the hottest markets. Every show includes a live auction with a guitar signed by longtime Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch supporter and Big Dog, Willie Nelson, as well as other terrific items from Kinky's private memorabilia collection.
Named Texas Poet Laureate in April, 2007, Steven Fromholz is a unique Texan, who has had his songs recorded by Hoyt Axton, John Denver, Lyle Lovett, Michael Martin Murphy, Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker and dozens of others. Four years after suffering a near-fatal stroke, he's singing and playing better than ever, and he's recently written and published a book, 'Texas Trilogy' (Esteban Publishing). Fromholz describes his music as: "free-form, country-folk rock, science fiction, gospel gum, bluegrass opera, cowjazz music." Steven Fromholz is once again a huge presence on stage.
Also no surprise, however, is Kinky’s commitment to all the lost puppies of the world, and Steven Fromholz will be there to help. And in the end, Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch will save more puppies. YAY LEGENDS! YAY PUPPIES!
