Pop Wagner and Bob Bovee met in 1971 over a bowl of chili one winter’s night in the West Bank neighborhood of Minneapolis. After dinner, they played some old-time music. They’ve been doing that off and on ever since. A Wagner-Bovee performance offers a generous dose of authentic cowboy songs, old-time fiddle tunes and instrumental numbers, country blues, comic and sentimental songs of the south, and perhaps an original or two. The two are likely to also throw in a cowboy poem and some tall tales, along with history, folklore, and joke-lore.
