Timberline Cowboys<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both award-winning singer-songwriter J. Michael Mullins and multi-instrument aficionado Geary Parsons have, in one way or another, been in the music industry for the majority of their lives.\u00a0 After playing and singing together at the Durango\u2019s Cowboy Church for a year, they decided to perform as a duo at the 2021 Durango Cowboy Poetry Gathering.\u00a0 They were an immediate hit and discovered they had an unmistakable chemistry, and an innate ability to connect with audiences.\u00a0 The Timberline Cowboys were born.\u00a0 Most of what they do is original music, dealing with the ranching and farming life prevalent in and around where they reside in the Four Corners area.\u00a0 Their music is basic, honest, and forthright.\u00a0 Two guitars and vocals, they are just at home around a campfire as they are in an arena or concert hall.\u00a0 Through lyrical ballads and up-tempo comedy songs, they give the audience a first-hand look at what life is like for the still proud, but dwindling numbers of ranchers, farmers, cowboys and cowgirls in the great Southwest.\u00a0 While in high demand in and around Durango, their music has been featured on numerous streaming and radio shows in the United States, Canada, Germany, France and England.\u00a0 Basically homebodies, they still enjoy hitting the road (on occasion) to play at cowboy gatherings and select out-of-town venues. \u00a0They have produced three albums in three years, the second of which spent nine months on the IWMA Western Music Charts.\u00a0 They are hoping for the same level of success with their latest album, The Old Ways,<\/em> released in June 2024.\u00a0 A new album is in the works for 2025.\u00a0 Mike\u2019s original song, \u201cDrivin\u2019 This Herd to the Rail\u201d took home the award for 2024 International Western Music Association Working Cowboy Song of the Year. \u00a0Both are active IWMA members, and Geary is the current president of the IWMA Colorado Chapter.\u00a0 www.thetimberlinecowboys.com<\/em><\/p>\n
