ENTERPRISE — The cancellation of the second Hells Canyon Mule Days was a blow to lovers of Old West culture, but all is not lost — cowboy singer Dave Stamey will be performing at the Wallowa County Fairgrounds stage Saturday, Sept. 11.
The OK Theatre and Mule Days organizers bring back one of Wallowa County’s favorite entertainers to the fairgrounds lawn, where music lovers can enjoy the show while maintaining social distancing.
Gates open at 5 p.m. and the music begins at 6 p.m. Concert-goers are encouraged to bring a lawn chair and come early to get a good seat on the lawn. To further safety efforts, masks are required.
Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for children and are available at the gate or at www.eventbrite.com/e/dave-stamey-concert-tickets-165051699075.
Dave Stamey has been a cowboy, a mule packer and a dude wrangler, and he is now a popular Western entertainer. He was voted “Entertainer of the Year” and “Male Performer of the Year” seven times as well as “Songwriter of the Year” five times by the Western Music Association. He has also received the Will Rogers Award from the Academy of Western Artists.
Cowboys and Indians Magazine called Stamey “the Charlie Russell of Western Music” and Western Horseman Magazine declared his “Vaquero Song” to be one of the greatest Western songs of all time. True West Magazine named him Best Living Western Solo Musician four years in a row. In November 2016 Stamey was inducted into the Western Music Hall of Fame.
