Coffeyville, KS — Coffeyville Community College’s Humanities Program will welcome musician Bob Bovee for a live performance on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. in the Spencer/Rounds Theatre.
Bob Bovee presents a one-hour program on the Old West featuring guitar, banjo, harmonica, autoharp, singing, and yodeling. While the cowboy is often a mythical figure, Bovee shares the real stories of their hard, sometimes humorous lives through songs of work, love, outlaws, and trail drives, mixed with old-time tunes from ranch dances and the mountains and plains.
Since 1971, Bovee has traveled the country performing at festivals, fairs, concerts, schools, libraries, and music camps, as well as on radio and TV. His repertoire includes dance tunes, ballads, cowboy songs, humorous and sentimental numbers, blues, and rags, all enriched with stories, history, and folklore.
Bovee sings, yodels, and plays guitar, harmonica, banjo, and autoharp, bringing audiences a lively, family-friendly celebration of the music, culture, and storytelling of the Old West. His performances combine historical insight, spirited tunes, and entertaining stories, keeping the traditions and spirit of the frontier alive for modern audiences.
This performance is part of CCC’s Humanities Program, which brings artists, performers, and cultural experiences to campus to enrich learning and engagement for students and the community. All Humanities Program events are FREE and open to the public.
The performance will take place at Spencer/Rounds Theatre on the Coffeyville Community College campus.
