GREENSBORO – Saturday, Sept. 27, the Highland Center for the Arts in Greensboro will present Dave Stamey. Stamey is a Western entertainer who has received multiple awards from the Western Music Association, including entertainer of the year (seven times), male performer of the year (seven times) and songwriter of the year (five times) and in 2016, was inducted into the International Western Music Hall of Fame.
Stamey says his life’s work is to celebrate the rural American West and the horses that have played such an enormous role in shaping its culture and history. In the past two decades he has recorded eleven albums of original music, traveled hundreds of thousands of miles and performed thousands of shows doing just that.
Known for his true-to-life visions of the West, Stamey’s songs come from experience with romance and humor added.
“This music,” Stamey says, “is a celebration of our shared heritage, an appreciation of the West as both a place and a state of mind. It helps bring the audience together, whether they know which end of the cow gets up first or not.”
“It doesn’t matter if you are a farmer, an electrician, deputy sheriff, horse shoer, own a tire dealership, or are an English major at Stanford, Davey will touch your heart through laughter and song, ” says Baxter Black, author, poet, humorist and radio commentator
Local musicians Alice Perron, Randy Bulpin and Jess O’Brien will be opening for Dave Stamey.
