ABOUT THE ARTIST

Terry Nash
Loma, CO
Western Colorado beef producer and acclaimed poet Terry Nash knows how to draw you into his poetry. His tales are of the West not seen from the highway or from the 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 of their time as possible on the mountain horseback. Along with writing and reciting his original cowboy poems, Terry brings classics to the stage and has recently written a couple songs. Note: Don’t ask him to sing!
