Even Cowboys Get the Blues

ABOUT

Even Cowboys Get the Blues World Premiere || September 18-20, 2025 || The Barn at Lee - Lee, MA

What happens when a cowboy goes to therapy?

‘Even Cowboys Gets the Blues’ is a middle finger to all things Americana as we know it today. The work situates a ‘wild west’ cowboy archetype’s manifest destiny next to contemporary parallels in big-city US, thinking about how capitalism has made colonialism a comfortable, safe experience and how the US educated elite teams up with the rural poor to create the nation's idiocracy. Audiences follow this lone cowboy’s mental spin-cycle as he negotiates a digital degeneracy that erodes away at his life, teaching and amplifying bad habits past and present.

Creative team includes Danny Archibald and Isa Hussain.
