Show Description

Ricky Boen is the 1983 World Champion fiddle player from Odessa, Texas and his group "Texas Mud" won the coveted Will Rogers Award, being named Western Swing Group of the Year by the Academy of Western Artists.

Ricky Boen & Texas Mud has traveled across the United States performing at fairs, festivals and auditoriums, and performed with major artists such as Mark Chestnutt, the Bellamy Brothers and the Texas Playboys.

2007 marks their 3rd season in Branson and their first season at the Hamner Barber Theater. "From the first song until the last, this show keeps your feet a tappin' and your cheeks a grinnin'," said Dave Hamner. "We love it and we know our visitors will too!"

When asked how he best describes the focus of the show, Ricky Boen replied, "It's simple Texas Swing done right! Several shows will do a song or two as a tribute to Texas Swing, or a taste of it, but it's what we love, and what we do! We try to take the roots of Texas Swing from guys like Spade Cooley and Bob Wills, and season it with some more contemporary icons of the style, like George Strait and Asleep at the Wheel, and make it our own. I've always said that if you come to one of our shows and leave without feeling like you were entertained, it's your fault, because we're going to put it out there, full throttle, every time we hit that stage."

Besides the amazing fiddling of Ricky Boen, Texas Mud has an incredibly talented group of players, with Tim Gregg on guitar and vocals, Ricky's dad, Darrell Boen also on vocals and guitar, Cortlandt Ingram providing the other half of the twin fiddles, Casey Robertson on drums, and Mark Abbott on upright bass.

Twelve-year-old singing sensation, Sarah Blackerby, who was part of the Silver Dollar City production of "A Christmas Carol" two years ago, is joining Ricky and the boys to bring a little feminine grace and a powerhouse voice to the mix, having gained a special dispensation from school responsibilities to join the cast.

Also featured is comedian Rufus, hilariously played by the talented Tim Gregg from Rotan, Texas. He comes from a musical family and has been playing guitar since he was 12 years old. Tim has performed in professional touring bands and has opened for many national acts such as Tracy Byrd, Asleep at the Wheel, Chris Ledoux and more. Tim has written two #1 Western Swing Songs as well as one #2 song that will burn in your memory for years to come!

If you're looking for real, honest-to-goodness, western swing music, then Ricky Boen and Texas Mud is the perfect ticket for the entire family! It truly is the best way to start your day, and with a bonus... the coffee is free!
