May 31 – Saturday Night @ 8pmMicheal Martin Murphy
Returns to Taos
An American singer-songwriter best known for writing and performing Country Western music. A multiple Grammy nominee, Murphey has six gold albums. Michael Martin Murphey’s musical journey has taken many unpredictable paths over the past four decades. Topping the pop and country charts as well as becoming the world’s number one, best-selling singer / songwriter of American Cowboy Music, Murphey has never been one to rest on his laurels. His forthcoming, Buckaroo Blue Grass II: Riding Song (Due Feb. 9, 2010 on Rural Rhythm Records) is just one more example of Murphey’s boundary busting tendencies as he follows last year’s Grammy-nominated Buckaroo Blue Grass by again melding two seemingly unlikely genres — Cowboy Music and Bluegrass. “Cowboy Music and Bluegrass Music share common branches of the American Music Family Tree in the enduringly popular fiddle music, ballads, gospel, dance and work songs of the country people of the American land- a mix made up of Celtic, African-American, Hispanic and Indian cultures,” Murphey said.“One of the Best Songwriters in the Country” – Rolling Stone

The Taos Poetry Festival
Produced by Open Hearth Arts, the festival envisions a community in Taos where conversing in verse is a learning tool, a cornerstone of cultural and individual identity, and a means of social dialogue. We aspire to contribute to the arts economy, create connections between poets, and build new audiences. Now in its sixth year. The Taos Poetry Festival invites you to be part of this poetic conversation. Everyone is welcome!
