ABOUT THE ARTIST
Jimmy Cantwell
Cañon City, CO
Jimmy Cantwell is a second-generation horseman who’s turned a life full of experience into song. From his time as a soldier to riding colts and training horses for both the public and the U.S. Army—topped off with a little day work here and there—he’s got plenty of stories to tell. Jimmy’s sound is pure country, western, and everything in between. At the end of the day, he’s just a "good ol’ cowboy singer.”
