Both fans of yodeling and of the Grand Ole Opry will likely unite on August 2 when 13-year-old cowgirl Phoebe White will guest perform at the hallowed venue with Riders in the Sky. The Kentucky artist will take on a song adapted from the popular animated film, Toy Story 2.
White and the Riders will perform the Ranger Doug song, “Phoebe, the Yodeling Cowgirl,” which is an adapted version of the song, “Jessie, the Yodeling Cowgirl,” from the Disney-Pixar animated movie.
White, who recently released her new 10-song debut album, UnXpected, has recorded with the Riders In The Sky previously, along with groups like the McClain Family Band and Michael Johnathon. White has also appeared on the WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour, where she first performed with Riders In The Sky.
White, who will unveil a one-year honorary exhibit at the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame & Museum on August 12, has a number of performance dates set for later this year. Fans can check those out here below. But be sure to watch for the teenage self-taught singer at the historic Opry stage soon.
For more, check out a video of White singing “Phoebe, the Yodeling Cowgirl” below. Fans can purchase tickets for the show via the Grand Ole Opry or listen live on WSM Radio.
Can she yodel?
Phoebe White doesn’t look white.
She's "old school" and uses Copper Tan.
Wish I could have found out, lol. (she married Kevin Kline)
Riders In The Sky is a fun band of old-timers who are kind and cheerful sign autographs.
Oh, look at that. Another media outlet purposely reporting on a dark skinned human.
Old yodeling ping
I’ve been a Riders in the Sky fan since the 1980s, though it’s a few years now since I’ve made it to a live show. I probably should before too much longer; those guys are all in their 70s now.
Did you know that Woody Paul holds a doctorate in physics from MIT?
