Musical Entertainment Lineup
This year we have an awesome line-up of our favorite bands: No Western Days Festival would be complete without the Thomas Family Band. They have been entertaining Elgin crowds for over 40 years. Their blend of gospel and blues music is always a crowd favorite. We are also excited to have one of Bastrop County’s popular bands -the Shop Dawgs back this year. They are a fun band that will keep you entertained with classic country and rock favorites as well as original music. New to Western Days but not new the Central Texas area is the X-Factory Band who will be playing 70's, 80's & 90's Classic Rock with some Blues and a little Country. We close out the afternoon entertainment with a favorite Elgin Hometown group – the Gypsy Drifters - playing classic country, American and Blues music.
