His tour bus is broken, he bought his house for a thousand bucks and the small farming town in which he lives is disappearing faster with each passing year. ROLL OUT, COWBOY’S Chris Sand is the face of the dying American West. Except for one thing—he raps. The Woody Guthrie protégé looks like a cowboy, talks like a cowboy, but writes songs like LL Cool J.


When hip hop music hit the airwaves of the North Dakota badlands, where Sand grew up, he learned to rap and rhyme to the pulse of baling machines and irrigation pumps. ROLL OUT, COWBOY follows Sandman the rappin’ cowboy as he embarks on a national tour during the last U.S. presidential election. From indie rock groupies in city clubs to flirty grannies grinding against him in rural community dance halls, no one can resist Sandman’s winsome charms or the genre-blending and endearing style that’s uniquely his own.
