ABOUT US

 

Inspired by their love of live music and hospitality, Ken and Brandie Newman founded Newman Hospitality Group (NHG) in 2016.  After hosting several successful concerts and events the couple seized an opportunity to open their first restaurant and live music venue in Canyon Lake, California, The Canyon Cowboy.  The restaurant was an instant success and has won “Best Casual Restaurant” in the Inland Empire every year since opening in 2017.  

​

In 2020, NHG was awarded the opportunity to purchase The Temecula Stampede in Temecula, California.  This 30,000 square foot space is the largest Country Western venue on the West Coast.  Since the purchase, The Stampede has hosted several large scale concerts and events, including The Old Town Music Festival, a two day festival featuring The Band Perry, Chris Janson, Billy Ray Cyrus, Tyler Farr and many others.

NHG’s latest venture, Old Town Ranch, is a guest ranch where patrons can stay in luxurious Conestoga Covered Wagons and pony up to an Old West Saloon.
