Terrific Topsy-Turvy Tongue Twisters

We are Cowboy Cadence—Bruce Jahn, Kathy Trevelyan, Ben Fortescue, and Sarah Fortescue—and for a decade, from 1985 to 1995, we operated as a fiercely independent musical ensemble. Our guiding principle was always authentic self-expression, and that meant we were involved in every single aspect of our creative journey. From the very first note written and the arrangements we crafted, to performing all the instruments and vocals, we handled it all. We even took on the meticulous tasks of recording and mixing right there in our own home setups, completely eschewing external producers, writers, or engineers. This deeply autonomous approach wasn't just a choice; it was essential for us to ensure our unique vision and genuine voice shone through in every piece of music we created.

This commitment to doing things our way truly shaped our diverse repertoire, which spanned heartfelt Country tunes, whimsical Children's songs, and playful Comedic pieces. While our primary focus remained firmly on crafting and perfecting our recordings, we also cherished the opportunities to share our distinctively homespun sound with others. We performed live at local fairs and various community venues, finding joy in those direct connections. However, we deliberately chose to limit our live events, a conscious decision to avoid the kind of intense spotlight and stardom often involved in the music industry. For us, it was always about the music itself, and the freedom to create it on our own terms.
