Cowboy music is the Western version of the human condition. Steve Cormier's music is old, traditional cowboy work music, as well as modern cowboy work music. It reflects his nine years working on ranches and farms in the Flint Hills of Kansas and around Santa Rosa and Fort Sumner, N.M.
Cormier earned a Ph.D. in American studies from the University of N.M, with his dissertation on 20th century New Mexico ranching. He has published chapters on ranching in two books, "Essays in Twentieth Century New Mexico History" (UNM Press) and "The Multicultural Southwest" (Univ. of Arizona Press). He taught college history for 22 years.
Along the way he played supporting roles in film and television, including "Wyatt Earp", "Gunsmoke" and "Breaking Bad". He also has recorded several albums, including "Este Mundo", "Black Bart", "Zebra Dun" and "Bucking Off".
This program is made possible by New Mexico Humanities Council and Friends of the Capitan Library.
Refreshments will follow the Chautauqua presentation.
