The award-winning musicians will perform a set of their music, which focuses on cowboy and train songs from the Old West, both old and new.

The group has also expanded their repertoire to include 19th and 20th century pop and folk tunes, as well as presenting musical history programs on various aspects of the West, trains and the music of the 1930s.

Their seventh and most recent CD, “Off the Beaten Path,” was released in April.

Admission is $18, $15 for members of the San Diego Folk Heritage. Tickets can be bought at the door or online at sdfolkheritage.org.
