In 1994 in the aftermath of the Northridge earthquake the Santa Clarita Cowboy Poetry and Music Festival began its quest for a suitable location. At the time the owners of Melody Ranch, Renaud and Andre Veluzet agreed to host our first event and the tradition began.
This year marks the 15th Anniversary of the Festival. Still carrying the new name from last year, we will be offering the same high quality music, poetry, food and cowboy gear that patrons have enjoyed in the past.
Melody Ranch had been the location of many famous Western films since its beginnings and at present, is home to the highly acclaimed HBO series, Deadwood.
