Music producers, Gloria and Dewey Miers, have been instrumental in keeping the boots tappin’ and feet dancin’ to the tunes of Western Swing music for the past 30+ years. The Legends of Western Swing Music Festival began in 1987 in Canton, Texas, with Gloria and Dewey on board in 1990. After a quick stop in Snyder, the festival moved and settled in Wichita Falls, Texas in 1997. Since lawn chairs first circled the “stage wagon” 25 years ago, The Legends of Western Swing Music Festival has hosted the finest Western Swing bands in the country. Legendary musicians that played with Bob Wills himself, as well as new bands with a love for it and a desire to keep the music alive, have graced the stage and kept the fans happy and dancin’. With a desire to save a music form that seemed to be in trouble, Gloria and Dewey worked with passion to keep it alive - thanks to the best fans in the world and shows such as The Legends of Western Swing Music Festival, the great State of Texas now boasts Western Swing as the official state’s music.
