Liz Masterson


Liz Masterson, a Denver native and award winning singer, began performing Western music in 1982 and was quickly recognized as a “trail blazer” for the revival of this art form. A founding Board Member of the Western Music Association, Liz Masterson’s roots run deep and true in the “cowboy culture.”

Her distinctive singing voice, yodeling and sense of humor has won her national acclaim as she tours the country as a solo performer and teacher of the traditional art forms of yodeling, swing and western music. Liz was named the 1998 Western Music Female Performer of the Year and also received the Patsy Montana Cowgirl Award in 2000. Recently, her record “Roads to Colorado” won The Academy of Western Artists 2009 Western Album of the Year!

In 2006 she appeared on the Discovery Channel’s “Myth Busters.” She demonstrated her yodeling skills during an episode on avalanches.
