Alex Warren, songwriter and musician of the viral songs “Ordinary,” “Fever Dream,” and “Passenger Side,” will be performing tonight at Cheyenne Frontier Days’ Night Show.
Cheyenne Frontier Days officially kicked off its festivities today for the 130th Daddy of ‘Em All. With a special dedication of the brand new Morning Star American Indian Village earlier this morning, the first day of the PRCA Rodeo, the opening of the Carnival Midway, which is open daily from 10 a.m. to midnight, and the first Night Show with Treaty Oak Revival and Jessie Murph tonight.
The son of Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo legend and award-winning country musician, the late Chris LeDoux’s son, Ned LeDoux, is one of this year’s Lincoln Cheyenne headliners with local musician, Gabe Jackson, and his band as Ned’s opener.
Ned is a talented musician all on his own. He sings his father’s songs as well as many of his own major country hits. He sounds a lot like his dad, too, which is a wonderful gift that he is able to keep that rodeo and country music family legacy alive.
According to his official Facebook page: “Country singer Drew Baldridge and Christian singer Anne Wilson have a new song out, together! The two just released “Maker’s Mark.” The song is part of Baldridge’s upcoming ‘FARM FAITH FAMILY’ album, out on September 18.
“‘Maker’s Mark’ is one of my favorite songs on the record,” Baldridge says on his Facebook page. “At its core, it’s about the legacy a person leaves behind. That means loving others, giving back, and living with purpose and compassion. It’s a reminder to live like Jesus and leave a positive impact wherever life takes you, because above all else, being a good person matters most.”
