Sacred Grounds brings back The High Desert Playboys on December 7, 2019. Their performance will be immediately after the very popular Ruidoso Festival of Lights Parade so be sure to get your reserved seats early to be assured of best dinner and performance seating.
Hailing from the high desert haunts of Albuquerque, the High Desert Playboys' band brings some of the finest country and Americana musicians in New Mexico to Ruidoso. Featuring delicate harmonies, classic country songs, original Americana and high energy bluegrass, they are sure to get you up and dancing the night away.
They are lead by singer/songwriter Clark Andrew Libbey, a professional musician with over 27 years of experience. One of Albuquerque's best-known songwriters, he toured throughout the country promoting his last album "From the Deserts of Ohio". He is joined by Ryan Goodhue, a jazz-trained pianist from Boston whose honky-tonk sensibilities hearken back to the haunting sounds of long-gone wild west. Mikey Hale, one of Albuquerque's finest drummers, rounds out the foundation of the band. Accomplished pedal steel player Bud Melvin, and violinist Kristen Rad, both exceptional soloists, give the band an old school country sound that works for crowds of any age.
