Our friends from the California Rodeo Salinas are hosting the 2025 Clem Albertoni Cowboy Gathering on Saturday, March 29 at 6:00 pm. This is the fourth time this event is being presented by the California Rodeo in honor of the great man and cowboy poet, Clem Albertoni.
Clem, along with his wife Phylis, were the beating heart behind this event for years, helping us all grow our love for cowboy stories and western music. Clem’s talent for entertaining as a poet was legendary in the Salinas Valley as the resident Master of Ceremonies, as well as at numerous other cowboy poetry events. His skill with words were sought by those celebrating their happiest days or their saddest. He was a man who filled a room with charisma and energy, but with the rare quality of making each person feel as if he were speaking directly to them. His ability to make people laugh, smile, cry and “feel” was a gift from above.
The evening will include performances from audience favorites, Trinity Seely and Andy Nelson, and partial proceeds from the event will support ARIEL Theatrical.
