In Cahoots Craig ‘Creek” Johnson & Lanny ‘The Marshall’ Scopes has performed for over 20 years, bringing our brand of cowboy music, story-telling and humor to audiences from Cody, Wyoming to Munich, Germany, and of course, in our home state of Utah. People love the Old West and we’re a couple of cowboys that represent that hardworking and rugged spirit. For this reason we choose to live in Utah, which is a state of many that make up the Wild West. But we do love to take our act on the road. So if you live in Utah or faraway, give us a call.   http://hiredguns-llc.com
