Trappers: A Musical Adventure

I enjoy the history of the fur trapping era! In my first-person performance I stand before my audience as a nameless Mountain Man in authentic buckskins who weaves music and storytelling into fresh, exciting accounts of the famous men who first ventured up the Missouri. I recount my adventures with John Colter, Jedediah Smith, Joe Meek, and Cannibal Bill as we search for and trap beaver and deal with the everyday excitement of Indian encounters, bear encounters, river encounters, buffalo encounters and whiskey encounters.

By improvising I include the audience in the excitement and even in my performance. The songs are original, the stories are true—Waugh! We don't lie in the Mountains!
