Country Singer Cale Dodds to Perform Free Concert April 6 at UW

Country singer Cale Dodds will perform a live show Friday, April 6, as part of Pistol Pete’s Cowboy Roundup at the University of Wyoming.

Dodds will take the stage in the Wyoming Union Ballroom at 10:15 p.m., after swing dancing lessons. Pistol Pete’s Cowboy Roundup is presented by 7220 Entertainment, and is free and open to the public.

Dodds fell in love with country music at a young age, and he began his career playing in bands at a local and regional level.

“A gifted solo artist with a band-brain, he plays masterfully off the musicians who surround him, creating a salon-style performance space where the audience is a welcome extension of the band,” according to a reviewer.

Rolling Stone magazine named him one of its November 2017 “New country artists you need to know,” praising his “smooth pop-country crooning over arena-ready arrangements, distinguished by clever lyricism.”

Dodds has been named among CMT Channel’s “#18FOR2018 Listen Up Artists.” Additionally, he has more than 13 million on-demand streams in the U.S. to date.

Pistol Pete’s Cowboy Roundup begins at 9 p.m. and also will include free food, a mechanical bull, two Pop Up Paint Party sessions and swing dancing lessons.

This event is presented by 7220 Entertainment’s Late-Night Events Committee, which meets Thursdays at 4:30 p.m. in the Campus Activities Center (CAC), located in Room 012 in the Wyoming Union.
