Farnsworth Concert Preview: The Tumbling Tumble Weeds

From organizer Robert Klomburg, here are the members of the band MIXX, which will be performing at this week's Farnsworth Park free concert.

The concerts take place Saturday nights at 7 p.m. at Farnsworth Park.

Formed in 2005, The Tumbling Tumbleweeds are celebrating their Five Year Anniversary along with the release of their new album "Blaze Across the West!"

Since their premiere they have gone on to capture the Academy of
Western Artists Will Rogers Award for Western Music Group of the Year and  the Western Music Association Crescendo Award for Most Promising Talent and  were recently nominated for the 2010 WMA Outstanding Entertainer-Group Award!

They were also named one of the Top 10 Live Acoustic Acts in
Southern California by Folk Works Magazine! Their Debut Album titled "The  Tumbling Tumbleweeds" hit #1 on the Top 10 Cowboy/Western Music CD Charts  and their new CD titled Blaze Across the West is currently #2 on the Top 20 Cowboy/Western CDs chart in The Western Way Magazine!!

The core founding members consist of, vocalists "Tumbleweed Rob" Wolfskill,  Big Daddy Cade" Parenti and Chris Acuff with "Babyface" R.J. Mills on guitar  and vocals. The Tumbling Tumbleweeds also features Dan Dungan on upright  bass.

As their name suggests, The Tumbling Tumbleweeds are a tribute to the era  that gave us the Singing Cowboy such as Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and the great  swingtime cowboy band, The Sons of the Pioneers.

Although The Tumbling Tumbleweeds feel the Sons of the Pioneers are their "blue print" they do  bring their very own unique brand of entertainment to the world of Western  Music with a show complete with singing, humor, storytelling and a bit of fancy western footwork.
