Jessie Veeder writes and sings about the badlands of Western North Dakota where she grew up and is now working raising kids and cattle as the fourth generation on her family’s cattle ranch.
Veeder released her first original album at sixteen and among her five original albums that span a twenty-plus career as a working and touring musician lie unique and interestingly beautiful vocals, rootsy instrumentation and raw lyrics that write the story of the working men and women in the small towns, ranches and oil fields of rural America. Jessie’s most recent release “Whiskey in the Winter” tells the story of working in manual labor against the harsh and isolated climate from the perspective of a man who’s living and enduring it every day. The gritty honesty of the song proves how capable and trustworthy Veeder has become as a voice for the people in her rural community.

We met up with Jessie in Wickenburg, AZ at the Art of the Cowgirl where she shared a glimpse into her music career.

Peyton Grace is a rising star from the High Deserts of Arizona. This New River, AZ cowgirl is making her way across the stages of the Southwest. We met her at the Art of the Cowgirl in Wickenburg. AZ at Rancho Rio where she was performing. This is a one of a kind event where the Cowgirl is Queen.

We wish we'd had more time to visit and get to know her a little bit better. Hope you enjoy our conversation and her original song.

Joni Harms has a warm sincerity and ease to her voice… a voice that shines through on stories and melodies of a country/western way of life, making you feel you are part of the entire experience she sings about, as if she is singing only to you. In many ways, Joni is a pioneer and torch-bearer, knowing the country lifestyle is made up of a blend of musical sounds, giving her a unique style drawing crowds, literally, around the world.

We had the opportunity to sit down with Joni during the Art of the Cowgirl in Wickenburg, AZ this event is second to none, including the entertainment. Joni has played this event every year since its inception by the late Tammy Pate. We had a great visit with her about her career, motherhood and ranching. We hope you enjoy this episode of Musical Miles Podcast!

Art of the Cowgirl was the dream and passion of the late Tammy Pate.
Women have played a significant role in ranching and the western way of life. Most of today’s successful ranchers and western artisans have wonderful stories to tell about a wife, mother, or grandmother who influenced their lives. Art of the Cowgirl is designed to spotlight these wonderful women, while sharing the stories of their families, marriages and partnerships that, in turn, shaped them. Art of the Cowgirl will ensure our great artistic and cultural traditions continue, and help women celebrate, gather and connect around horses and western art.

When we had the chance to attend the 2025 Art of the Cowgirl event in Wickenburg, AZ we jumped. This is a wonderful event focused solely on the Cowgirl and her talents, including that of music.

The first artist we had the chance to interview at this years event was a young singer/songwriter who has dreams and aspirations of a music career. Ashley Doty is from Washington state but is currently going to college in Oklahoma. She got the invite to take the stage at AOC from event producer Stacey Yost. Enjoy!

GRUFF, ECLECTIC SONGS AND STORIES ABOUT LIFE IN THE MODERN RURAL WEST
Ben Larson developed his storyteller ways over years of hitchhiking and wandering with his guitar from Australia to Newfoundland and a thousand places in between. He lives in a hand-built homestead in Philipsburg with his public school teacher wife and two loony cowdogs. He alternates his days between carpentry and weaving his observations into gruff newspaper columns and eclectic, yet deeply poetic country songs.
Several albums of his music can be found on all streaming services, including his most recent release “New Tales From Old Montana.” In support of his new album, Ben’s on a musical mission to bring his western folk music to all 56 counties of Montana 37 down, 20 to go!

Our chance meeting of Ben was a result of happenstance. He knows someone that knows me that happened to mention our podcast online somewhere. He gave us a listen and reached out a few months ago, we finally had the chance to meet in person in Elko at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering where we made arrangements for him to stop by the house for a quick visit. Hope you enjoy it!
