Terry Nash
Cowboy Poet & SongwriterTerry Nash has been a top five finalist for the last four years for the Western Music Association Male Cowboy Poet of the Year award. He was raised on a farm/ranch cow/calf operation on the High Plains of Colorado, near Idalia. In the late eighties, Terry drifted to a small ranch near Loma, Colorado, where he and his wife Kathy raise horses, hay and beef, and spend as much time on the mountain horseback as possible. Along with writing and reciting his original cowboy poems, Terry brings classic cowboy poetry to stages throughout the West, and has recently co-written a couple songs. Note: Don’t ask him to sing!

Terry’s latest CD “A Good Ride” was nominated by Western Music Association members for Cowboy Poetry CD of the Year, & Terry was nominated for Male Poet of the Year for 2018!
We’re proud to announce, (but not surprised) that he WON both!
If you see Terry make sure you ask to hold them, he doesn’t mind cleaning the fingerprints off, which we hear he does several times a day :O), we expect him to name them soon.
