A group of friends who loved Western Cowboy music got together a band just for fun. By 1992 they were ready to go professional and moved from Denver to Cody, Wyoming, to open the Diamond C Chuckwagon Suppers and Western Show. Sharon and Brad Bothwell and Kate Taylor fed and entertained tourists and Cody locals for seven years and spent many more years catering cowboy cuisine and singing songs of the trail as well as gospel music with a Western flair. Now they are all located back in Colorado, bringing their dynamic cowboy shows and educational programs to schools, homeschool groups, and churches wherever the trail winds.

“The Circuit Riders are dedicated to the historic, traditional, and contemporary music of the West and the American Cowboy. With a sparkle in their eyes and humor in their performances they bring to life the wide open country and freedom of life on the range.”

What people are saying…

"I am pleased to recommend the Circuit Riders to you. Brad and Sharon Bothwell are members of Mountain Shadows and have spent a lifetime faithfully serving the Lord in various ministries. Kate Warren is a faithful member of Airport Boulevard Baptist Church in Aurora, CO. They have a unique blend of cowboy and gospel music along with plenty of humor to make for a great event. We had them in for adult and youth events, and our experiences have been very positive. They are professional and experienced musicians who will be a blessing to your people. I know that you will not be disappointed by having them for your event.”

Pastor Ryan Lundquist, Mountain Shadows Baptist Church, Pueblo, CO (2023)
“It is my joy to be able to recommend to you the Circuit Riders. They are a group of Cowboy Singers who are theologically sound, trustworthy, and talented musicians.”

Pastor Dennis Sanders, Airport Boulevard Baptist Church, Aurora, CO (2023)
“(The Circuit Riders’) labor of love for the genre and comes from the heart. Kate and Sharon strive to bring the ideals embodied in “The Code of the West” to all of their programs. It is a pleasure to recommend Kate, Sharon, and the Circuit Riders to anyone wanting a quality Western Heritage Educational Program for any event.”

John Payne, Tucson Cowboy Music Roundup, (2004)
“God certainly blessed you two with tremendous talent and creativity! Not only were we (the audiences and I) impressed with both of you, but Bandit was delightful! I could step into the Coe Auditorium at 4:00pm every day during your performance and step out leaving the stresses of the day far behind. Laughter and a joyful heart is such good medicine! I can tell that both of you believe that too.”

Debra Elwood, Education Department at Buffalo Bill Historical Center, Cody, Wyoming (2003)
“They can keep a group of at least 100 students engrossed for nearly an hour in learning about life on the Oregon Trail through their portrayal of “Sarah, a Pioneer Woman” and songs from the pioneer’s time. They also include some audience participation as they invite the students to sing along... I also really like the use of both humor and drama in their program. Through the arts of drama and music, the Circuit Riders make history come alive.”

Brenda Trippel, Education Coordinator, Washakie Museum, Worland, WY (2004)
