TEXAS RIVER MUSIC WITH BUTCH HANCOCK
THREE DAYS Texas Music Legends BUTCH HANCOCK and JIMMIE DALE GILMORE
TEXAS RIVER MUSIC WITH
On October 23-25, 2026 Butch and Jimmie Dale will launch on an unforgettable excursion Into Boquillas Canyon. The trip originates at the Boquillas Port of Entry, where our US team will meet you. Then we cross the river on a flat bottom boat and join our Mexico team. Our canoes are waiting nearby, and we will float downstream into majestic Boquillas Canyon, where we camp for two night of great music, food and companionship.
Our goal is to provide an enjoyable river experience without having to rush. We make camp in a comfortable location with outstanding scenery and which offers opportunities to hike, swim, paddle, or just lounge around camp.
Like many visitors to Big Bend, Butch was drawn to the unparalleled beauty and mystery of the legendary Rio Grande. Butch soon invited his friend from The Texas Flatlanders, Jimmie Dale Gilmore to join in the fun and then Jimmie Dale was hooked. Both Jimmie Dale and Butch performed on many editions of Texas River Music, separately and together. Butch is a skilled river guide with lots of “stick time” on the Rio. After dinner, around the campfire, Jimmie and Butch will choose from their extensive repertoire.
Cost for this trip is $1425 per person with a $200 deposit per person to reserve a space. We take Zelle, Venmo and checks by mail. For credit cards we send a digital request and add 3% service fee.
