All My Relations

DUANE DEEMER is known as "COWBOY" And “ WIND HORSE” in Nashville -- which should tell you something in a city that is populated with men in boots and cowboy hats. Duane leaves an impression, and is not easily forgotten. He literally stands head and shoulders above the crowd and despite of his rough around the edges, hardcore cowboy image he has gained the reputation as one of the kindest and most humble guys around. As much for his attitude and work ethic as for his talent, Duane has become a favorite among musicians and songwriters from all walks of life. His Choctaw and Cherokee Indian heritage has played a strong role in inspiring the way he looks at life, and the way that he lives it every day. Duane is known as Wind Horse by his Cherokee family and honors his Native American heritage in the songs he sings and writes and by the way he lives life everyday. His deep passion and love for life and living it can be felt in his song lyrics and his live performances. Formerly of the rural Osceola and Weldon Iowa area, this prolific singer/ songwriter has been a Nashville resident for 7 years now, but had been a regular on the songwriters' scene for over twelve years prior. Working with Kid Kody Music in Nashville and through his own publishing company Choctaw Cowboy Music , Duane has since been blessed with numerous independent cuts and the opportunity to co-write with so many awesome writers like Grand Ole Opry stars Ernie Ashworth, Mel McDaniel and Little Jimmy Dickens and so many more of Nashville’s finest singer/songwriters, Bobby G. Rice, Cory Batton, Marc Alan Barnett, Mark Steven Jones, Trent Jeffcoat, Jessica Ford, Robbie Wittkowki, Adam Fears, Gina Ivy, Shelby Merchant, Mason Douglas, Brian Ragsdale , Liz Kilgo, DW DeHart and Billy Hester, who are only a few of Cowboy’s friends and associates. Cowboy and co-writer Jessica Ford recently had a song cut by Linda Davis and landed 4 songs in an upcoming children’s short film. Cowboy released his debut album "Trying To Ride The Wind" in 2009 and is looking forward to a late 2010 release of his upcoming Native American album which will be released under his Native American name "Wind Horse". Writing with awesome writers from Nashville to Iowa, Texas to Los Angeles, Duane’s writing is very versatile, and various artists have interpreted Duane's song writing in styles ranging from pop to southern rock, commercials, and children’s songs, opera and gospel to hard core country. Whether performing on the road or in here in Nashville, Cowboy has been blessed with the opportunity to share the stage with many of Nashville’s finest singer / songwriters. Duane loves everything about being a part of the Nashville music scene. His down-to-earth, cowboy attitude is to take one day at a time, and that every day is truly a blessing. Duane's style is raw and on the edge and he`s been called the real deal and one of the last true outlaws. From ballads to love songs, southern rock to straight-from-the-gut hardcore country, what you see is what you get...the real deal. www.choctawcowboy.com
