I am not a busker, I am an artist attempting to pose in public as a statue and fool everyone.
Frequently asked questions:
II live in Arizona and perform in the beautiful city of Scottsdale. Nicknamed the West's most Western town, Old town Scottsdale is a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. The art and architecture recreate the ambiance of the old west. Which is why I chose a cowboy as my character! I blend right in.
Needless to say, Arizona is a desert and the weather makes it too hot to perform most of the year. December to April are the only months when I might have a chance to perform on weekends.
This is my Social experiment
I am an artist and this is my interpretation of interactive art.
Attempting to pose in public as a bronze statue is a challenge. The last thing I want is to appear like a person who thinks they look like a statue. I've seen 'living statues before and I wasn't fooled and I think I can't be fooled. In fact, I'll bet whoever is reading this doesn't think they could be fooled either.
That is what everyone in my videos said before meeting me.
I don't hand out business cards or promote UA-cam while performing. It only invites conversation which I avoid for the sake of the next opportunity which I wouldn't want to spoil.
I first tried this just to see if it was even possible.
THIS IS NOT A 'PRANK" Scaring people is not my intention. I am not out to invade people's 'space', shout or yell 'boo!' at people who are minding their own business. (unless I am bored) I prefer to be called amazing, not #$#&!!. Many more people pass by oblivious, to my presence.
I just sit and mind my own business. I believe using this unique approach is why I am welcomed and supported by the city.
Have I ever upset anyone?
I have never had a negative reaction, well once.
I've never been intentionally hit, or been bitten by a dog. No heart attacks. Using my approach, I am not to blame if someone mistakes me for a statue. It's not my fault.
Besides, everyone is too busy laughing.
I make a one in a million moment possible and who the lucky person is totally at random.
Timing is not up to me most of the time. Most people touch me as they sit and realize something is up before the right time. Each person is different and I try to wait for the right time to reveal myself. Sometimes they get away before I make my move.
I am sorry for the quality of the video. Filming was an after thought and my lack of experience shows. Also, the way I concealed my camera interfered with the sound and picture. I have spent money on a new camera and it was problematic and ultimately stopped functioning.. I have used an old Canon that has never failed me. I can sacrifice the quality if it means confidence that I'm capturing the moment with a camera that is reliable.
My costume is just old clothes and A LOT of paint. Metallic Bronze paint. Nothing special. For make up I use black eyeliner for a base and metallic creme makeup. I create texture using a small screen.
It takes under an hour to be ready to go. Removing the makeup using soap and water is what takes hours.
Finally, SUBSCRIBE it's free!
I need everyone to share my videos with friends and family and share using all social media sites to help me spread the laughter.
to thank you...
I'll have a NEW video every Saturday morning
until January 2020 (or longer?)
Please

As a retired Navy veteran, of 20 years of service, I cannot thank you enough for standing in salute to our National Anthem.
Your patience with the children speaks volumes about your character. They don’t get the illusion and tend to overdo it. Many performers would get frustrated and quickly relocate. I hope these parents appreciate your tolerance. It’s very difficult to be a statue when the kids keep trying to make you react.
I wouldn't say tolerance of the kids he was probably having alot of fun with them most of all..
It doesn't matter what language they speak ; the laughter is always understood!!!
Bronze Cowboy a friend to children and when the national anthem is being sung right in the middle of his acting the part he has chosen he stands in salute honoring our country in far more than one way! I just wish we had far more like you.
There I was concentrating on being motionless, a statue and then like a Siren's song I could hear our Anthem... pulling me back to reality pulling me to my feet... I might be a statue, but I am an American first... My father, my brother all my Uncles, Grandparents and Great Grandparent's were either Navy or Marines, my Uncle Bruce McCandless was an astronaut. CAP COM for Apollo 11, two shuttle missions and the first man to fly untethered in space. I have two Congressional Medal of Honor recipients in my family as well. That flag means more to me than anything, it gave me freedom to do whatever I want in my life and that include making others laugh! I love that Red White and Blue! God Bless the USA!
Yes, BC is an outstanding example of an American and a human being!! Bless him!!
@@BronzeCowboy Right on!
@@BronzeCowboy No wonder You turned out so well! :))
@@BronzeCowboy God Bless you Brother.
Awww, the kids :) can you see our future leaders
Such a cure for depression
Thank you for standing
People should tip you more you bring a lot of laughter!!!
Much respect for standing for the anthem
Yes!
When you stood for the American anthem it gave me chills.
In a time when so many think it is cool to disrespect the flag, the pledge of allegiance and our anthem.
For you to show respect and honor reveals that not only are you a caring man, but a true American.
I've been a fan of yours for a long time.
I commented to you a while back and still have your replies.
I would love to one day meet you.
But now, and I didn't think it was possible, I have even more repect for you and feel that I am even a bigger fan.
Thank you for all you do.

You, my friend, are a classy act. Stepping out of character to stand for the National Anthem. A true American that spreads laughter and memories for all of us, who you actually scare and for those who watch.
Standing for the Anthem. God Bless you and The USA.
Great video keith....as always.
thanks Irish!
You, my freind are a true patriot. Standing for the National Anthem was a great sight. Keep the uplifting entertainment you provide.🇺🇸
Sam, Thank you for watching my videos and and for the compliment!
Thank you for honoring our children and our Flag !!!! God bless you and yours !!!!!!!! Eddy
6:53 "Holy balls!" LOL I believe that's a first for me to hear on a video. 😆
The wonderment of those kid is priceless. I love how you are so engaging to them, Keith. 👍
Loved the ending of the video with the national anthem. 👏
🤠Bᵣₒₙzₑ ₒₙ, Bᵣₒₙzₑ Cₒwbₒy!!!🤠
The land of the free and The home of the bronze cowboy!!!! Yeeeehawww! 🤠
Good job , loved the Anthem !!!
Excellent work, Cowboy! Three thoughts:
1) Thank you for your patience and gentleness with children.
2) Thank you for standing for our national anthem. That is important.
3) Your display of core strength is impressive. The lean and hold at 2:47 was quite a feat, especially while wearing a heavy costume.
Thanks again for all the fun and laughs. Keep on bronzin’!
BC is becoming a national treasure! Who doesn't love him!
The city should put you on their payroll
he should be on google maps as a landmark
then again, i guess that would make him known, so maybe not
If there was ever a kids Hero. It's hands down you!
Those three stood with a mesmerizing gaze, for a full minute.
Unbelieving, That a statue had come to life, Right before their eyes!
A Memory made and story started, They will tell their grandchildren about.
When you stood up during national anthem, u gave me chills. And you are really good with kids!!!
I've already commented on this once but I've got to do it again thank God for people like you
You're a good man playing with the children tolerating them for as long as you did and standing for our country God bless you
Loved the story they did on you!!
Thank you Matt!
The kids are pretty amazed... cute kids' reaction. Hope to see more of them😍
love this video man,great angle not too close so we can see you move and people reactions.
keep spreading laughter man👍👍
Fantastic as always!!! So of your best stuff on this video🤘🏻 and you stood for the Anthem!!!
Of course I stood for the anthem, I might me bronze colored but I am no Colin Kaepernick
@@BronzeCowboy Wish I could give you a dozen thumbs up for that response.
@@BronzeCowboy A beautiful comment coming from someone with infinitely more talent and character than that feckless jackass Kaeperdick.
The interactions with the kids was so great. The looks of wonderment and joy was priceless. You know they'll never forget you. Also, I wasn't the least bit surprised when you stood up for the National Anthem. That was the perfect ending.
I never gave it a thought that I had caught that on video, but when I saw it I was kind of proud of myself for it and thought I would keep it in. Thanks for noticing.
Oh how wonderful it is to see the open minded bravery of the children; they must have very good parents.
That Tennessee Whiskey song in the background....👏👏👏
As the lady said, "You did an awesome job, thank you very much."
There were several good scares but overall so many people had such a good time interacting with The Cowboy. A really nice episode from our Bronze friend.
When the Doctor of Statueology steps in, laughter is guaranteed for sure. Thank you Bronzie 😀😀😅😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Closes my Saturday off nicely, thank you BC.
Charles, Thank you for watching my videos and you are welcome!
You make people laugh just by moving an inch, who else can do like that.
Great video. you always make me and others laugh so much. take care Keith.
Thanks for being understanding and patient to all them kids, in fact sincerely enjoying their pure happiness and not to show any bit of frustrations at all.... from your part it was a mercy, my friend..... to stand up and show that hat attention salute was a dignified, cool, and decent move, too......
Love seeing people laughing and having a great time! What an amazing person you are! Its great to smile and smile with others!
05:04 "Would we bother you for pictures?"
05:40 "Could we have a picture?"
YES!! Courtesy in America!
11:10 - What can make the Bronze Cowboy break character? His love for his country.
the pony express started in 1860 and ended when the telegraph sent messages faster than a horse could run , The Bronze Cowboy started when trash bags , I mean old clothes were painted and the rest is History , Another hilarious video Keith , July 20th 2019

I was very pleased to see you stand and salute the National Anthem. You do great work and one can tell that you enjoy it.
I must say that being funny is good but the fact that you are American and patriotic speaks for itself. To see you honor the flag and our great anthem speaks loads about you. Thanks for all you do. 👍👍👍❤️

Kids are drawn to you, as metal shavings to a magnet.
Once they get a glimpse of your magic, they are spellbound!
Watching you intently. While secretly wishing, they could take you home!
You give them something, none can put a price on. The secret, of what if?
Whenever I need a solid smile, I just watch one of your videos. Thanks für the great work!
Thomas Thank you for watching my videos and you are welcome!
Small children has a great sense of liking people. Nice to see them having fun. Also you stood up for the song which I am guessing is patriotic
Another good one. Lol😂👍👍👍❤️
Ich liebe Amerika...und natürlich den Bronze Cowboy! Grüße aus Berlin/Germany
No matter where you stay, the bench's always the best ^^^^^.
I agree I really like it when people try to sit quietly beside you and you react to them. It's by far the best fun I see

Jeffrey Ray, thank you for your support! Thank you for watching my videos!
@@BronzeCowboy your welcome I am Disabled and I have 2 kids 13 year old daughter and a 12 year old son
So funny 😂😂😂
Here in my country,government has regulated that national anthem should be played in every cinema hall before every show and people will stand up to respect that. Before the song is played in the hall,message comes on the screen to make people aware of that.
Growing up as a 12 to 15-year-old in the country of Panama, I remember the American television channel was called the Southern Command Network and they would begin and end the day's broadcast by playing the national anthem. I don't ever recall the national anthem playing in theaters when I was growing up as a kid.
@@user-sm1qq1op8j thanks for letting me know that. This rule has been enforced for 2 years or so.
I imagine if the government tried that here, it would get met with some resistance. It would just be another venue for people to protest whatever social issues they feel need to be addressed. I wouldn't mind standing for the national anthem. I just know there will always be non-supporters wherever there are supporters in this respect.
@@user-sm1qq1op8j you are right on that. No matter whatever decision is taken, some people will always protest. But for greater good of the people,sometimes harsh and strong decisions are made and enforced. It is just as no matter how good you are, you will always be a bad guy in someone's story.
i hope this is in my recommended for a long time
Sub and you won't miss my show!
@@BronzeCowboy Of course!
I broke out laughing
I am guessing this footage was filmed quite some time ago, as I was very surprised to see people wearing coats/long-sleeved shirts.
I have been saving this one... some may have thought it was boring... not many surprises. I was holding it for the 4th of July... because of the Anthem lost it, then found it in time for the 50th of the Apollo 11 !
