Rhythm Ranch: (L-R) Al Pieper, Kathleen Hatfield, L.A. Tuten, Berné Poliakoff
Rhythm Ranch is a new group anchored by two members of the beloved all female western band, Cowboy Envy.
Berné Poliakoff (aka Frenchy) and Kathleen Hatfield (aka Buffalo K) were the lead singers of this hugely popular band. Their work has garnered much praise and multiple awards, including the “Best Harmony” award from the Western Music Association (twice). Their vocals have been described as “heavenly…with harmonies to die for” (Atlanta Journal Constitution). Together, Frenchy and Buffalo K have performed at festivals and concerts from Alaska to South Carolina. Their history has been highlighted by appearances at Spoleto Festival, Detroit Arts Festival, Music Midtown and two concerts at the Kennedy Center. They have toured with The Indigo Girls and performed with numerous acts including Riders in the Sky, Shelby Lynn, Confederate Railroad and Sweethearts Of The Rodeo.
With Rhythm Ranch, the girls have joined up with an amazing fiddler (“Alamo” Al Pieper) and an extraordinary bassist (L.A. “Darn” Tuten). Together they deliver dynamic performances, filled with wonderful music and great humor, delighting audiences of all ages.
