Award-winning Michael Martin Murphey, "singing cowboy poet", is not only the number one, best-selling singer/songwriter of American Cowboy Music, he's one of the world's most respected singer/songwriters in the Pop and Country-Western field. In May, 1975 Murphey’s story song, "Wildfire,"
reached No. 1 on the Radio and Records charts, No.3 on Billboard'sPop Chart, and No. 1 on all Adult Contemporary Charts, giving the artist vast commercial exposure. Michael broke ground with an innovative concert concept called "Cowboy Christmas" in 1987 which has become a trademarked touring show and musical concept for him. The tour now spans 40 cities per holiday season, and has led to three Cowboy Christmas albums and a Cowboy Christmas DVD.
Back by popular demand, Keith Brion and his New Sousa Band was part of the first Furgason Bravo! Series season and has been requested by
patrons to return ever since. Filled with patriotic spirit and a wonderful show for families and seniors alike, The New Sousa Band, begun in 1979, is a
realization of director Keith Brion's dream to reincarnate the Sousa Band and once again tour America's towns and cities.
The musicians of the New Sousa Band are chosen for their ability to transmit the original style, spirit and ensemble sound of Sousa's Band. They are
selected from major orchestras, military bands, university faculties and freelance musicians. The band wears authentic replicas of the original Sousa
Band uniforms. Keith Brion and his New Sousa Band are officially and exclusively endorsed by John Philip Sousa, Inc., John Philip Sousa IV,
President.
