The Cowchips play a mix of western swing, bluegrass and cowboy tunes, featuring three-part harmony reminiscent of the Western bands of the 1940′s.
Al Miotke, our newest member, brings a melodic mandolin, guitar and vocals to the group. Jeff Anderson, well known for his talent in Dixieland Jazz, can’t be topped for cowboy harmonica and swinging clarinet. With Bob Johnson and his big ol’ bass fiddle to keep the beat, and Neil Massey, the heart of this old-timey group on guitar and banjo, who delivers the best darn cowboy vocals anywhere, you’re sure to keep listeners tapping their feet when the Cowchips play for your next special event.
The Cowchips perform at private parties, assisted living and retirement centers, fairs, parades, and festivals in the Tacoma-Puyallup area, since 1996.

Second comment – both entertainment groups are fantastic and worth every penny you spend/donate at this fundraiser. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear local talent in Puyallup, WA. By the way, the name Puhallup comes from the trive that once inhabited this area. The Puyallup Indians have lived along the shores of Puget Sound for thousands of years. In their native language they were known as S’Puyalupubsh, meaning “generous and welcoming behavior to all people (friends and strangers) who enter our lands.” I like to think that all who live and work in Puyallup make every effort to live up to the name. Come see for yourself at this wonderful fund raising event.
