Dave Stamey, the 2015 Western Music Association Entertainer of the Year, will be promoting his new album, “Western Stories,” as well as playing from all of his famous melodies. Baxter Black said of his friend, “It doesn’t matter if you are a grade grower, feedlot cowboy, an electrician, car salesman, deputy sheriff, horse shoer, own a tire shop, ranch, or an English Major at Stanford, Davey will touch your heart – with laughter and reflection.” Tickets for the Opening Night Super are $35.00.

In 2014, Michael Martin Murphey was named one of the Top 50 Best Country Western Singers of All Time, alongside of artists like Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson. Other critics credit him with working to preserve the heritage and beauty of the American West through his story-telling and beautiful lyrics. Tickets for this show are $40.00 for general admission and $60.00 for VIP Reserved Seats with a Meet and Greet prior to the show.
