Schedule

Unless otherwise noted, all Sunday shows are casual and free of charge, welcoming a walk-up audience. They are usually held at 2pm on the porch or in the lobby of the historic Livestock Exchange building, located at 131 East Exchange Avenue, in the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District.  We also perform at many Stockyards festivals on a stage set up in front of the building.  On special occasions, we perform in other parts of the Fort Worth area, and we do note on this schedule page where we CAN be found, so that you can join us.

Celebrating 25 years at the LIVESTOCK EXCHANGE BUILDING in 2026.
