Redding Rodeo Week with the Asphalt Cowboys 2025 - Dave Tappan and Mikey

Redding Rodeo Week kicks off May 9–18, and the Asphalt Cowboys saddle up on the Downtown Discussion Podcast to share what’s in store!

Dave Tappan and Mikey join us to talk about the history and tradition of the Asphalt Cowboys, what it takes to become one, and all the excitement around this year’s downtown events. From the return of the iconic Street Dance—featuring a special performance by Ben Haggard, son of country legend Merle Haggard—to the beloved Pancake Breakfast where nearly 30,000 pancakes are served, this episode celebrates Redding’s rodeo spirit and the vibrant transformation of downtown in recent years.
