Taylor Rodeo

July 19-20

Since 1950, the Taylor Rodeo Association has proudly brought to you the Taylor Annual Rodeo in the hometown of Bill Pickett.

Over the years the Taylor Annual Rodeo has become the big fish in a small pond. It is one of the biggest and best small-town rodeos anywhere.

The Meteors with Special Guest Giddy Up Go
Aug 19 @ 8:00 pm – 11:30 pm

The Meteors are an English psychobilly band formed in 1980. Originally from London, England, they are often credited with giving the psychobilly subgenre — which fuses punk rock with rockabilly — its distinctive sound and style.
About.com calls the Meteors “the first true psychobilly band,” noting their blend of the “themes of horror, punk, and rockabilly”. They were the second band to use the term ‘Psychobilly’ as a description of their music. Formed in South London in 1980, they are considered the first verifiable psychobilly band.
