Chancey Williams headlines Laramie’s annual White Trash Bash April 11

Chancey Williams gave Laramie’s annual White Trash Bash a built-in Wyoming pull at The Cowboy Saloon & Dance Hall, with the 21-plus concert set at 108 S 2nd St and tickets priced at $35. Visit Laramie listed the show for Saturday, April 11, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m., while The Cowboy Saloon said music started at 9 p.m., underscoring the kind of late-night downtown event that can keep people on the street before and after the music.

That matters in Albany County because The Cowboy is not just a concert room, but one of downtown Laramie’s main nightlife anchors. The venue calls itself Laramie’s “legendary good-time headquarters” and says it has been keeping “boots scootin’ and glasses clinkin’ for generations.” It is open Wednesday through Saturday from 5:30 p.m. to 2 a.m., and its regular programming includes Wednesday 18+ College Nights. A spring calendar built around Micro Wrestling, Martin & Kelly with Thane Zickefoose, Blue Collar Ball, Bottomland during graduation weekend and Tris Munsick & The Innocents shows the bar is leaning hard into events that can move business across downtown, not just inside the venue.

Williams brought more than a name on the poster. The Moorcroft native is described by his official bio and the Grand Ole Opry as a saddle bronc athlete turned neo-traditional country performer, and he remains one of only two artists, along with Chris LeDoux, to compete in rodeo and perform on the main stage at Cheyenne Frontier Days. That kind of resume gives White Trash Bash a recognizable Wyoming identity that can travel well beyond Laramie, especially with the show framed around “Laradise” and pitched as a spring weekend draw.

The event also fits Williams’ long connection to the bar. A 2024 Cowboy State Daily report said The Cowboy Saloon helped launch his career and noted the bar was listed for sale at $3.4 million. A local radio report that year said Williams noted White Trash Bash tickets tend to sell fast and that the event is a 21-plus show. For downtown Laramie, that mix of a homegrown headliner, a familiar venue and a late-night crowd is exactly the kind of spring booking that can turn a concert into a broader spending night.
