Kremmling, Colorado
Caitlyn is a fourth-generation rancher who runs cow-calf pairs with her mother on their high-country cattle ranch. Her interests include travel, cattle care, learning to be a better roper and studying up on bridle horses in the Californio tradition. Caitlyn has been singing since childhood and has performed at ranch brandings, cowboy gatherings, private events, guest ranches, bars and ranch ropings. She draws inspiration for her songwriting from Colorado’s rugged and beautiful landscapes, her experiences summering cattle at 9,000 feet, cowboying in rough high country and dark timber, working on the family ranch, feeding cattle in the harsh winter months and listening to her late father’s wild stories. An article about the Taussig family appeared in the February, 2016, issue of Western Horseman, and in January, 2019, Caitlyn and her mother Vicki were featured in a front page NY Times Sunday business section story, “Female Ranchers are Reclaiming the American West.” Caitlyn’s debut album, The Things We Gave Up, was released in January, 2015.
