Cowboy Up is a collection of poetry from the award-winning show, The Cowboy Cabaret. It is a blend of poetry, comedy, music, and inspiration. Developed and performed by Steve McAllister, the show includes an interactive component with the audience, allowing them to choose the songs, and the accompanying poems, stories, and anecdotes about “The Cowboy Way.” This one-of-a-kind performance is loved not only for its diverse blend of popular, classic, and original songs, but also for the insightful interstitials that weave them together.This is a selection of the poems from the show, inviting readers to “cowboy up” as we blaze trails toward the future we all seek.
