'Zen Cowboy' Chuck Pyle kicks off free summer concert series June 6 'Zen Cowboy' Chuck Pyle kicks off free summer concert series June 6

The Ulrich Museum's free, outdoor summer music series, Art For Your Ears, kicks off the 2013 season with Chuck Pyle at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 6, on the McKnight Art Center plaza, which connects the Ulrich Museum with WSU's School of Art and Design.

Seeing what's best about America, Pyle, who has performed on Austin City Limits, writes songs about love lost and love found, forgetful cowboys, and heroic highway patrolmen.

Pyle's songs have been recorded by John Denver and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Country fans know him for writing "Cadillac Cowboy," recorded by Chris LeDoux, and "Jaded Lover," recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker.
