CowboyUp, a fundraiser for the Westpac Lifesaver Helicopter, made its debut at Tamworth Country Music Festival on Saturday night.
As budding bullriders and out-of-towners keen to get their first taste of rodeo sports filed into AELEC, Nashville musician Eric Lee Beddingfield entertained the growing crowd.
