Wylie Gustafson is a native Montanan singer/songwriter who lives the songs he writes. With three decades of writing and performing under his belt, Wylie has matured into a dynamic talent, and has become one of the few authentic voices of the West. His friendly demeanor is born from his unpretentious life as a working class cow-horseman. One critic called him “…the coolest cowpoke around. Forget everything you hate about modern country; this guy is old-school cool without being a tired period piece.”

When not touring, he still gets up every day and tends to the livestock on his Quarter House ranch near Conrad, Montana. It grounds him and is the backbone of his art.

Over the last 25 years, Wylie and his band, The Wild West, have performed their refreshing blend of cowboy, swing, folk and yodeling music worldwide. They have appeared at such prestigious venues as the National Folk Festival, MerleFest, Bumbershoot Festival, The Stagecoach Festival, A Prairie Home Companion,
The Conan O’Brian Show, and the Grand Ole Opry (more than 50 times!).
Worldwide their genre-friendly performances have taken them to China, Russia, Australia, Europe, South America, and Japan.

In 2013, Wyie was featured in the popular Dodge Truck “God Made a Farmer” commercial, which aired during the Super Bowl.

FUN FACT: Wylie is the voice of the Yahoo! Yodel.
