Armand, who is known as The Singing Cowboy, travels all over the country with his unique show on horseback. He sings mostly country songs while his horse performs some dance moves and various tricks. He is on the road with this act for more than 2 years now.
He has performed at the Innibos festival, as well as the Windpompfees, Boertjiefees, Beesfees, Papfees, Paddadorsfees, Ermelo show, Rustenburg show, to mention only a few. He will performing anywhere as long as the area is horse-friendly (Even in very small spaces).
Armand already has 2 gospel albums and his first country album is a work in progress,
He is not only going around singing on horseback, when Armand isn't on his horse, he entertains you with the best music in town
The idea to combine the singing with an equestrian performance comes from the fact that Armand is also a specialist horse trainer
