Popular singing and songwriting siblings, Amy & Annie, return to Encampment this weekend to perform at the 20th annual Grand Encampment Cowboy Gathering in Grand View Park, July 15-17th.
The identical twin Smith sisters, born in Wyoming, will headline the All-Star show Saturday night and perform throughout the weekend. Everyone is invited to grab a lawn chair and join the duo at the gathering.
Amy & Annie were a hit at the 2018 gathering where they introduced the new Wyoming state song, “Wyoming Where I Belong” at the birthplace of the first state song entitled “Wyoming” which was penned in Encampment and adopted as the official state song in 1903.
The twins were discovered singing on a Nashville television show while still students in high school. They were invited to sing on the Grand Ole Opry by the king of country music Roy Acuff.
After graduating from Stanford University they signed Warner Brothers Records and MCA Music out of Nashville, touring all over the world.
Their USO tours to Cuba, the Caribbean and an award-winning tour to Alaska led to a special performance for former President and Mrs. Reagan. They performed for four United States Presidents and two U.S Vice Presidents, along with other world dignitaries.
In 2018, the Wyoming Legislature passed a bill designating “Wyoming Where I Belong” as the new State Song. Governor Matt Mead signed the bill into law.
Amy & Annie will perform Saturday night at the Grand Encampment Cowboy Gathering.
