RICK HAYS and AMERICAN STEEL (Fri and Sat night – 7 to 9PM)
Who says country music isn’t alive in Northern Nevada? Well, Rick Hays likes to call his performances, “country music with Nevadatude” and with his high energy delivery and love for capturing the essence of the subjects in his songwriting, Rick has made consistency and quality of performing his platform!
TOM HIATT
Cowboy Balladeer Tom Hiatt can truly be called a “Son of the West,” because at one time or another, Texas, California, Alaska, Kansas, and Arizona, have all been called “Home.” The magnificent landscapes and the people who settled them fill the stories in the ballads Tom writes and sings: tales of cowboys, outlaws, lawmen, pioneers, wild broncos, and more.
Tom’s warm, emotion filled voice has enthralled people from Montana to Arizona, from the Rockies to the Smokies, and all areas in between. He has appeared with other popular cowboy singers and poets such as Ian Tyson, Chris LeDoux, Waddie Mitchell, The Sons of the San Joaquin, Don Edwards, and Sourdough Slim at many venues throughout the country.
Last of the Vaudeville Cowboys, Sourdough Slim has been charming audiences across the country with his authentic cowboy vocals and entertaining wit and humor that comes across with every note.
Nominated for “Entertainer of The Year” in 2009 by the Western Music Association, Sourdough Slim has performed for countless Western music lovers from Carnegie Hall to the Lincoln Center, and from state fairs to cowboy festivals across the USA.
