Dave Stamey
Old Cowboys and Indians Magazine has called him “the Charley Russell of Western Music.” Dave Stamey has been a cowboy, a mule packer, a dude wrangler, and is now one of the most popular Western entertainers working today. He has been twice voted Entertainer of the Year, three times Male Performer of the Year and twice Songwriter of the Year by the Western Music Association, and received the Will Rogers Award from the Academy of Western Artists. He’s delighted audiences in fourteen states, and finds that he prefers this to being stomped by angry horses.
Dave Stamey has been bucked off and stomped by many horses. He has been stepped on by mules and dragged around branding pens by cattle of many sizes. He’s ridden in the rain, in the snow, in the rain some more, in pretty nasty heat, and in feedlot pens where the air was thick and decidedly fragrant. He’s even wrangled dudes.
He is an entertainer now, and makes his living inflicting himself upon innocent people at music festivals, agricultural banquets and backyard barbecues. He finds he prefers this. He has been voted Entertainer of the Year, Male Performer of the Year and Songwriter of the Year by the Western Music Association, and Male Vocalist of the Year by the Academy of Western Artists.
He lives in Nipomo, California. He bets you don’t know where that is.

Jim King
- Cowboy Poet -
Jim has been a rancher all his adult life. Raised on a farm in New York state, he had an early exposure to dairy cows, draft horses, and lots of chores. He started his first cattle herd in 1966, wanting to "rope cows, not milk 'em!" Jim's interest in cowboy poetry began in 1986 when he was given a book of poems that dated back to the 1920's. Jim now performs cowboy poetry near and far, but still tends to his ranch near Chico, California. He has performed with such notables as Red Steagall and Sons of the San Joaquin. His CD entitled Cattle Trails and Cattle Tales features a cut with Ron Scofield.
