ABOUT THE ARTIST
Terry Nash
Loma, CO
Western Colorado beef producer Terry Nash knows how to draw you into his poetry. His tales are of the West not seen from the highway or rodeo bleachers. Terry lives the life he writes about and he’s a master at showing it to you. He and his wife, Kathy, raise horses, hay, and beef, and spend as much time on the mountain horseback as possible. Terry performs in gatherings from Alpine to Elko, Abilene to Prescott, and all points between. He does private performances and banquet speaking and loves to emcee any event. Along with writing and reciting his original cowboy poems, Terry brings classics to the stage and has recently co-written a couple songs. Note: Don’t ask him to sing!
