Wofford and the Hi-Beams’ classic style of honky
tonk has a language and culture all to itself, but
only takes one quick lesson to learn how to love for a lifetime.
The twang of the steel guitar, snap of the snare drum, thump
of the stand-up bass and rippin’ electric guitar solos
mix with Wofford’s distinctive vocals to create a sound
that is familiar yet purely original. Ringing out all along
the Front Range of Colorado and beyond, Wofford’s wavering
tenor conjures up images of Hank Williams Sr., Buddy Holly
and Bob Wills.

 Halden's
Book (view cover)
The Long Gone Lonesome History of Country
Music is now available from bookstores nationwide.
Written and illustrated by Bret Bertholf (aka Halden
Wofford), and filled with incredible illustrations,
this rollicking tour takes readers from the dawn of
country music through the present. From country hair
to country clothes, readers are taken on a journey through
a rich cultural history, and along the way, they meet
greats like Jimmie Rodgers, Minnie Pearl, and bluegrass
musician Bill Monroe. Both thoroughly educational and
laugh-aloud silly, this celebration of an American invention
is a treasure for parents and children to share.
