Rough and Ready Book Launch x The Sadies Live

Get ready for an unforgettable night celebrating the gritty, rebellious, and often surprising history of the cowboy boot with the book launch of Rough and Ready: A History of Cowboy Boots, paired with a live performance by Canadian icons, The Sadies. 

Accompanying our current exhibition, Rough & Ready: A History of the Cowboy Boot, Rough & Ready is a definitive history book that tracks cowboy boots from the early cattle trails to contemporary fashion, revealing the diverse craftsmanship that continues to shape and influence contemporary culture across the world. Books will be available for purchase, and author and BSM Director & Senior Curator Elizabeth Semmelhack will be in attendance, signing copies. 

Come for the history, stay for the music, and leave inspired by footwear that's walked through revolutions, rebellions, and rock shows.

All in ticket - This event ticket includes general admission to the launch/performance, a signed copy of the 'Rough and Ready book', a custom Rough & Ready bandana made by Canadian designer Hayley Elsaesser, and one beverage. A total value of over $160!
