Beyonce is from Houston, Texas. Texas is Texas. There, either you go big or go home. Everything is big in Texas. Texan is Texan. Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter Tour is celebrating her Texan upbringing with Texan attitude. Las Vegas is also Western and also works hard to go big or go home. The Texan extravaganza may be too big and too glitzy for the more modest, humble down home country from Nashville. But, Beyonce does not disappoint. Her tour is about bringing Texan culture and attitude to the greater world. She makes sure everyone gets a bang for their money. Her sequined and diamond Western wear proves it got style and comfort, reinforced by her league of fans. Attainable style. Beyonce sharing her Texan heritage and culture is Southern Hospitality. She’s being friendly. Y’all enjoy. If y’all can’t make it all the way to Indio’s Stagecoach, hold your horses. Don’t fret and sit tight, Beyonce coming to you, bringing Cowboy Carter to y’all.
Thank god, the humble and modest mega country and Western music festival, Stagecoach, is receiving some love, respect, and awareness with equally friendly brand parties and activations that supported Coachella for years. The side parties that Coachella insist as de rigueur and takes for granted. The exact same swag parties that Stagecoach country and rural folks are so grateful for and in awe of.
Stetson’s and Ray’s Hometown BBQ Bar, with LaCroix, smoked the best glazed BBQ during Stagecoach Saturday, sweet and crunchy glazed while mouthwatering tender, fall apart inside.
Their BBQ did not disappoint.
Stetson stitch embroidered Western essentials, such stylish denim snap button Western shirts, denim jackets, and hot weather appropriate denim vests, were hotly appreciated.
Since Stagecoach started as an afterthought, they scheduled it when the Summer heat wave arrives. This is folks guzzling LaCroix mineral water to hydrate, to survive. Add tequila or agave, they call it Ranch Water.
Folk learn to hoof it, line dancing and two stepping. They also taught how to rope.
