The live experience
What reaches the room
Brent Amaker and the Rodeo, formed in Seattle in 2005, delivers cinematic, Western-inspired live performances that critics describe as Western performance art. Known for distinctive stage costumes and a root-rock sensibility, Amaker has built a career around storytelling, humor, and high-energy shows. His work spans across cinema-inspired stagecraft, mariachi textures, and boundary-pushing arrangements that nod to country, punk, and pop influences.
