Guy & Pipp live and run the family ranch. They are true cowboys. They play guitars, banjos, harmonicas, tambourines, bones, kazoos. They sing their blues, cowboy ballads and Celtic folk songs. Pipp, in a strong baritone, and Guy, in a pure tenor, sing of cowboys dying on the prairie, of outlaws and horses, of lovers saying farewell, of hard times come knocking at the door. They even do a few vaudeville and minstrel show comedy routines. Along with just being cowboy minstrels, they are award winning chuck wagon cooks. To add to that Pipp even makes decoys. In a very western way, you'd call them renaissance men.
Gillette Brothers have won awards for western music too numerous to list. Their most recent recognition is receiving the Western Heritage Wrangler Award for the Best Traditional Western Album in 2010 and the American Cowboy Culture Award in 2009 from the National Cowboy Symposium & Celebration. They have shared the stage with Ramblin' Joe Elliott, Don Edwards, Michael Martin Murphy, Waddie Mitchell and more.
Gillette Brothers have been featured in many magazines from Texas Highways, Southern Living, Western Horseman, and most recently, to American Cowboy August/September 2012 edition. They are in Calaveras County to share their music and stories. They are also on a nation tour having recently released their 8th CD, Leaving Cheyenne.
Bring your low back chairs, picnic dinner; sit back and enjoy the show.
