The super-successful Legends and Puppies Tour of 2008, with former gubernatorial candidate, Kinky Friedman, and Texas Poet Laureate, Steven Fromholz, is back on the road once again to raise money for the Kinkster's favorite cause, the Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch, a 501(c)3 organization that rescues abandoned and/or abused dogs, nurtures them and places them with loving families.

Nearly every stop on the tour so far has been sold out, with several second shows added in the hottest markets. Every show includes a live auction with a guitar signed by longtime Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch supporter and Big Dog, Willie Nelson, as well as other terrific items from Kinky's private memorabilia collection.

Supporters and fans packed the shows in Dallas, Winnsboro, San Antonio, Tyler, Houston and La Grange to raise money for Utopia and listen to some great music. Seven out of eight shows were complete sell-outs with standing room only and there were so many fans still clamoring for tickets that second performances were added in Houston and La Grange!
Showgoers in each city also had the opportunity to bid on autographed Willie Nelson guitars and other exclusive items to help fund animal rescue. Don’t worry if you weren’t able to attend one of the January tour stops; more shows are being added for February and March 2008! Check our events calendar regularly for the latest news and tour dates!
