Clovis combines country with a little bit of rock ‘n’ roll
Clovis combines country with a little bit of rock ‘n’ roll. Set within the High Plains of eastern New Mexico, the city was settled as a railroad town in 1906 and has birthed musical legends like Norman Petty and become a destination for American Southwestern culture. “At one point we were called the cattle capital of the southwest,” says Margaret Hinchee, Library Director for the Clovis-Carver Public Library. “Cattle were driven through town and kept in stockyards, which we still use for auctions. Our town is very family-oriented with 42 churches, and nearby Cannon Air Force Base is one of three special ops bases in the U.S.” Agriculture, the railroad and military services remain top industries for Clovis’ 38,000 residents.

Rock music, classic cars and bull riding
Events and attractions here center around music, cars and rodeos. Norman Petty’s collections and vintage recording equipment are on display at the Clovis Rock ‘n’ Roll Museum, and Petty’s recording studio, used by legends such as Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison and Waylon Jennings, is open for tours. “We hold an annual event downtown called Draggin’ Main,” says Hinchee. “It features retro music, girls wearing poodle skirts, guys with slicked back hair, and so many classic cars that it’s like American Graffiti.” The city’s Pioneer Days PRCA Rodeo features bull riding, team roping, bronco riding and barrel racing.
