What an incredible honor and an amazing time celebrating North Dakota’s newest governor at the Governor’s Inaugural Ball.

What an incredible honor and an amazing time celebrating North Dakota’s newest governor at the Governor’s Inaugural Ball.

Got some things done this last weekend:
Play music for my buddy Kelly Armstrong’s governor inaugural ball. ✅ Perform our song Little Yellow Jacket in almost exactly the same spot the bull bucked me off in the Bismarck Civic Center PBR. ✅ Assemble maybe the best team of instructors for a bull riding school ever. ✅ not all instructors pictured here. More to come.

First show of the year and it will be a good one. Very honored that we were asked to play for the North Dakota Governors inaugural ball, January 18 Bismarck Civic Center. Kelly Armstrong is a true 90 point person and I’m excited for him. Please come celebrate with us, free event, but RSVP and get tickets at governors website.

In honor of the new single by Breaking Eight called “Little Yellow Jacket” I thought I would share another reason why I’m so excited about this song.
Meet Bruise Lee and Coldplay. These two babies don’t look like much right now, but they are special and in a couple years they’ll be monsters. They’re daddy is a bull named War Room of Nathan Hoffer/H&H, Bucking Bulls, who is a son of the great bull Bruiser. You may not know that world champion Bruiser is a grandson of Little Yellow Jacket, and many of the great bulls that you see on TV these days are in fact descendants a little yellow jacket. even on this little ranch a lot of our genetics go back to Little Yellow Jacket. The legacy is vast and it’s so cool to see his name living on every day as I’m out here working in this beautiful place, even though these mamas are complete psychos.
Check out the song and come see me and my band sometime.

Thanks to everyone that has been encouraging us to vote, I did. I also encourage you all to get out and vote, unless of course you may vote for a candidate that’s tied to a political party that is supporting or actively involved in things like banning rodeo and cattle ranching and western events, dismantling the energy industry, or banning firearms. If that’s the case I beg you to stay home and not vote. Thanks, and have a fabulous rest of your day.

Some of my girls did an interview for
KX News today. We did some light to moderate ranchin for the camera. It was hard to not make Dale Brisby references for a serious news story.
