“We are thrilled to be back for another year. As a storyteller, I have the deepest respect for the way country music connects with fans. I feel extremely lucky that Bosque Ranch Live has an opportunity this year to introduce our Speakers Series full of our wonderful crafts family.” – Taylor Sheridan, Creator
