3 Trails West is a Kansas City band built upon the Silver Screen tradition of Cowboy music. Riding upon the shoulders of Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, the Sons of the Pioneers and Andy Parker, 3 Trails West has joined the contemporary ranks of such artists as Riders in the Sky, Rex Allen, Jr., Sons of the San Joaquin, Michael Martin Murphey and others to ride the wave of resurgent popularity of this purely American musical art form.

The band was first formed in the fall of 2006 by Roger and Leo Eilts. In the years since, 3 Trails West has established a respected profile in the Western Music industry.

Their most recent release Silent Trails is currently number 12 of the Top 30 most popular Western Music albums and is enjoying broad rotation by DJs in the U.S. and Europe. The title song was a finalist for 2017 Song of the Year by the Academy of Western Artists.
