Bluegrass is coming to town this Friday, May 3 at The Grange Hall in downtown Morgan Hill. Two huge National Bluegrass artists will be performing. The credentials of these two gentlemen are astounding.
Montana-based Dave Stamey is one of the featured acts. Cowboys and Indians Magazine has called him “the Charley Russell of Western Music.” 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.
John Moore is a mandolinist, guitarist, and vocalist and is known for his radio and television commercials, movie soundtracks and countless sessions for other artists.
He has appeared in film productions by, and done movie soundtracks for, Paramount Pictures, Touchstone Pictures, A&E Television Network, The Nashville Network and for the HBO Series Deadwood (in which he also appeared).
He was nominated for a Grammy for his work in Rose of Old Kentucky with Vince Gill and Byron Berline and has appeared on the covers of Flatpick Guitar magazine, Bluegrass Now and Bluegrass Unlimited. He has been the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Instrumentalist of the Year three years in a row as a member of the award-winning band California.
See them together this Friday inside the intimate setting of The Morgan Hill Grange.
