A Bit About Charley Hendren

The son of a cowboy and great grandson of an old-time Texas trail drover, third generation westerner Charley Hendren uses the music, poetry, and history of the Great American West to present the good news of Jesus Christ.

As a nationally recognized western entertainer, Charley shares his horseback heritage at conventions, schools, cowboy festivals, rodeo's, and private engagements across the country, but his first love is sharing the message of eternal salvation that the Lord freely offers through His son Jesus.

Charley is a former Academy of Western Artists Male Vocalist of the Year nominee. He is also a champion of national cowboy poetry competition and has been described as one of the top three cowboy poets writing today.

His music and verse explore a wide range of western themes, each seeking to bring honor to the Lord. Charley's poetry and yarns, though often humorous, are meant to reach those who need the Lord for salvation as well as folks who may simply benefit from a good wholesome laugh and a word of Christian encouragement.

Charley has ministered at churches, conferences, and Christian ranch settings from  coast to coast. His cowboy-style preaching messages, such as "God Is A Good Cowboy", "Round Pen Redemption", and "The Trail Home", include songs and poems of the West that magnify the patience, mercy, and invitation of the Lord.

A performing member of the Western Music Association and the Academy of Western Artists, Charley shares his music in the campfire style of voice and guitar, combining old-time gospel trail tunes with yodeling and more contemporary offerings to honor America's cowboy heritage and the One who owns the cattle on a thousand hills.

Charley has been a featured guest on the nationally syndicated radio program  Letters From the Trail  as well as in American Cowboy magazine. Original poetry and articles have appeared in The Line Rider (official magazine of the Fellowship of Christian Cowboys), American Cowboy magazine, Western Horseman magazine, and others.
