Society Hall is excited to welcome back to the valley Merna Lewis with her new western band Gone With the West!

Merna is the niece of San Luis Valley fiddling legend Bettie Freel, and grew up playing with her Aunt Bettie and her mom Bobbie Heersink in the Bowen String Band and many other ensembles. Merna has spent many years now in the thick of things in Nashville, Tennessee, playing her fiddle with many different bands and performers, often working eight shows a week! Now she has joined forces with three other Nashville performers in a new western supergroup!

What do you get when you combine award- winning singer/songwriters, four-part harmony, a fiddle, keys, two guitars and lyrical imagery drawn from the West?

You get taken on a musical journey out West ... cowboy and cowgirl life (and love!), campfires, horses, music and the beauty of the landscape.

This is GONE WITH THE WEST—Nashville's newest supergroup.

Mary Kaye Holt, Micki Fuhrman, Tecia McKenna and Merna Lewis have fused their talents into an exciting new sound.

And here's a quote from a fellow that knows a bit about western music - “Looks like a new supergroup has saddled up and is riding in over the horizon. With exquisite harmony, superb original songs and very fresh takes on western classics, you are NOT going to want to miss Gone With The West!” - Ranger Doug, Riders in the Sky

Come hear them at Society Hall Wednesday, July 26!
