Congratulations Dave Stamey!
Named "Outstanding Male Performer 2011" by the Western Music Association

From the CD liner notes:

"Dave Stamey calls himself a cowboy singer, which is true considering that he is a bona fide cowboy, and he's one heck of a singer, but he is also a great artist. What's more, he's a wonderful man, and we are honored to call him our friend. In a filmed interview, following his first Tales from the Tavern performance back in 2004, Dave said his intention is, "to just keep getting better and better." We have witnessed his success in this regard. In that same interview Dave said, "I'm in what you call the blue collar end of the music business." In that sense, we have a lot in common, for the artists we feature at Tales from the Tvern are not the product of promotion. They have put in the years and the miles to attain a level of anthenticity that you cannot get in any other way.

 

One of the things we love most about Dave's songs is that they are romantic; whether it's the romance of being out on a ride with the one you love, the romance of a child's dreams, the romance of tales about the bandits and heroes and horses and such, or the simple romance of nature.

 

Dave Stamey has made it his mission to chronicle the experience of "the West," and all that it entails. He is helping perserve that experience for all of us,and as we visualize the pictures in his songs, and become part of the story, we find out, as he says in the song, that sometimes it's just a state of mind."
