CAMPFIRE CAFE FEATURED GUEST
R.J. VANDYGRIFF
12:00 -1:00pm (CST)

R.J. VANDYGRIFF (his friends call him "R.J.") is an award winning singer/songwriter, playwright and actor not to mention a pretty darn good cowboy. He’s at home on stage, in front of a camera or horseback in the big pasture.  R.J. grew up ridin’ horses and strumming an ol’ guitar, competed in Saddlebronc and Bareback as well as working as a rodeo clown and bullfighter. 

He has appeared on stage with George Strait, Garth Brooks, Alabama, The Judds, George Jones, Merle Haggard, Moe Bandy. Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, Andy Williams, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Sons of the Pioneers, Red Steagall, Michael Martin Murphy, and Baxter Black just to name a few.

Some performers sing the songs, but R.J. has lived them. He lives his life by the cowboy code on and off the stage. He earned his spurs and has the scars to prove it. Join us for a fun conversation with R.J. and enjoy the backstories of his music and long entertainment career.

SADDLE UP AMERICA
FEATURED GUEST ASHLEY AVIS
1:00-2:00pm (CST)
ASHLEY AVIS is an American director, screenwriter, and producer. She is married to Edward Winters, who is her partner in their Los Angeles based production company, Winterstone Pictures. Ashley's work has been called "timelessly romantic" (White Lies Magazine), "elegantly sensual" (Elite Daily), and "tasteful, blending innocence with seduction" (Red Hot Society). 
                     
In 2018, she was brought on to write and direct the modern day reprisal of Anna Sewell's classic BLACK BEAUTY for Constantin Film's Jeremy Bolt and Robert Kulzer. Filming in 2019 in Cape Town, South Africa which doubled for the United States - her reimagining transformed Black Beauty into a wild horse rounded up in the American West, directly paralleling Sewell's original intentions for writing the iconic novel - which was to give voices to the horses of her time in the late 1800s. She hopes that by illuminating the issues wild horses are going through in the United States today, real and necessary change can finally be made. ---From IMDb Biography
