"Miss V" lives on a remote ranch in Wyoming, where she brings in the hay without gas-powered vehicles, sews her clothes and even her own horse tack on treadle machines and builds her own saddles and her own banjos with hand tools. She grocery-shops once a year and puts up everything else she needs, including dandelion wine. She runs pack strings and cattle in the Rocky Mountains, and sings about it all in her rustic, heartfelt “Cowbilly” music. International House brings Miss V to Berkeley to show its global membership how some self-reliant Americans still live.
Miss V has been featured in the Elko, NV, Cowboy Poetry Gathering. She is on the Wyoming Arts Council Artist Roster; her newest CD is Bypast Heroes: A Tribute.
