About Me

The Wild West is all about rock'n'roll promotion-bringing bands to Westchester County, New York. That means rock'n'roll in places like White Plains, Yonkers, Port Chester, Tarrytown - basically the backyard of NYC.And in the process the Wild West has worked with some of the best talent in NYC. We brought the likes of the Sex Slaves , Lourds , Queen V , and Honor Among Thieves among others up to White Plains.The Wild West began with a simple email to Guitarist Extraordinaire Bernie Torme talking about trying to make a US Tour happen. Well, we still struggle with that project, but without the needed capital, it just cannot be done. And that is even with his new project, Guy-McCoy-Torme , which has been turning heads and reminding many of what rock is about!Today, we are hunting down venues in Westchester and likewise looking for talent. And we are always searching for sponsors and Investors for a Bernie Torme - GMT US tour. Anyway, if you like what you see here, check out www.wildwestrocks.com.Check out the music of some of the bands the Wild West is working with and stay tuned for pics of some of the shows we promote and just check out. And if you are in a band or even just an acoustic set, and looking for a gig up in Westchester County NY, drop me a note.Bob Schaffer
