Tomah
Liner notes
A lively country song with vocals about Tomah, Wisconsin, celebrating the cranberry harvests and the local high school rodeo. The lyrics tell stories of the Ho-Chunk heritage and the legacy of Chief Tomah that shaped the town. Fiddles and acoustic guitars drive the melody, echoing the small-town charm found in the local specialty markets and historic museums.
