A self-taught guitarist, Brian Arnold grew up in a rapidly vanishing rural area west of Ogden, Utah. His early years were spent hauling hay, mucking out stalls, and working at the local stockyards to earn his first rodeo entry fees. Now, he day rides for friends helping with their ranch work and range riding duties in Wyoming, Idaho, Northern Utah and Nevada.  He is the lead singer and principle song-writer for the popular cowboy band, Saddlestrings.
