SPECIAL MUSICAL GUESTS - August 24

Allen Frizzell

Allen Frizzell comes from a family rich in country music tradition. Since the early 1950’s the Frizzell’s have been prominent on the music charts as artists and songwriters. Allen is the youngest brother of the Legendary Lefty Frizzell, prolific Artist & Songwriter Hall of Famer. His brother, Grammy Nominated, ACM & CMA award-winner as well as two-time song of the year honors is David Frizzell. Like Lefty and David, Allen is more than a great vocalist , he truly captures the emotion of a song. He is also a talented musician and a outstanding songwriter earning BMI’s prestigious million-air performance award. BMI’s official recognition of achievement in American Music. "My desire is to leave a legacy behind someday in music, that when you hear the name Frizzell, it would bring honor to our Lord, not this world," says Allen.

Bonnie Lou Bishop

Bonnie Lou Bishop is a world champion yodeler with an international fan club base. Bonnie calls Cowboy Town, Tennessee home. If you can find White's Creek, you can locate Cowboy Town, home of Kick-A-Poo Lake and the Rattlesnake Saloon, where you can witness an old west gunfight and indulge in some great vittles. Bonnie was five years old when she performed in her first show. She graduated high school at 16 and immediately went on the road with her own band for the next 30 years.

She has worked with some of the greats in country music such as Boxcar Willie, Charlie Pride, Reba, and legendary yodelers Roy Rogers, Rex Allen, Janet McBride, and the fabulous Patsy Montana. Bonnie gives credit to Patsy for a lot of her knowledge in the music business. In 1986, Bonnie was diagnosed with cancer and given two months to live. With the grace of God, her positive mental attitude and all the experimental drugs the doctors could induce into her, she was cured and now works with her horses, jogs, sings and yodels better than ever, and is a living example and inspiration for those who may be in a similar situation.

SPECIAL MUSICAL GUESTS - August 31

Bill Wright

Bill Wright will be bringing his unique style of singing back to Cowboy Church this Sunday. Bill has been involved in music most of his life in one form or another. A chance meeting led to his first appearance at Cowboy Church. Cowboy Church producer, Billy Anderson, happened to stop in Bill’s antique shop in Rockwood on a slow day. Bill was picking and singing to pass the time and his talent caught Billy’s ear. Anderson had to explain the concept of Cowboy Church to Bill, which peaked his interest and led to the initial appearance.

Bill has an 11 piece band, which is almost large enough to call an orchestra, named the River Front Band. "We do it for the love of the music," he said. The band performs on special occasions and regularly at the American Legion Hall in Harriman and also at Loudon.

Bill was a square dance caller until about 20 years ago when he decided on a new course in life. He now performs country and gospel music and has just released his newest CD.

All these great guests were backed by THE SMOKY MOUNTAIN COWBOY CHURCH BAND featuring PAT CORN.

Guest schedule is subject to change.
