Come along for a musical ride back in time and way out west with the KG & The Ranger Trio. Angie Roltgen joins Karen Gogolick and Rick Roltgen to bring you classic cowboy songs and beautiful harmony singing, harmony yodeling and a healthy dose of humor thrown in. From toe-tapping to haunting, their music will transport you to the days of the singing cowboys like Roy Rogers and Gene Autry and remind you of childhood dreams of cowboys, cowgirls and the great American West. KG & The Ranger have been a tradition at the Hog since their first show there 37 years ago! This will be gig 3091 in their award-winning career.

MikeMcDougal
.
For Mike McDougal, performing is a way of life. The Arkansas-based folksinger and songwriter has been playing music publicly for more than 50 years. Mike grew up in Chicago and began playing cello at the age of ten. He switched to guitar in 1964, when the Beatles captured the world's imagination. He lived in Madison for a time while working at UW and blessed the Hog's stage many times solo and in a duo with Perry Baird as The Buzzards. Cutting his teeth on the Chicago folk scene of the 1970's alongside the likes of Steve Goodman and John Prine, McDougal has a repertoire from folk to jazz and country, including original songs to make you smile or shed a tear.
