Don't miss Country Star Lacy J. Dalton, FREE in the Lounge June 8
Yes, THE Lacy J. Dalton... one of the most genuine, acclaimed, and successful country singers of all time... JUNE 8
She’s one of the most instantly recognizable voices in music – the woman People Magazine called “Country’s Bonnie Raitt”. From the first time Lacy J Dalton caught the public’s ear, that soulful delivery, full of texture and grit, has been a mainstay of Country Music. When you sit to listen to a Lacy J Dalton album, you find yourself pulled in by the very power and heart of this vocalist, because she’s not merely performing a ten-song set, she’s bringing each and every tune to life. It’s as if they were all written especially for her.
Lacy J Dalton’s music is a product of her wide-ranging musical tastes. She was born in Pennsylvania, into a family of musicians. Her father played a variety of stringed instruments, sang and wrote country songs. Her mother played guitar, wrote and sang harmony and her sister played piano and guitar. Lacy’s early influences were the classic country music of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s and later, the Folk and Rock sounds of writer/artists like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Fred Neil.
She’s always been a writer and an artist who loved music with a message and lyrics that somehow brought a new awareness to the listener. She retains this love of material with a purpose, and her song choices reflect that appreciation. Lacy J Dalton was already a Regional star in California when she went to Nashville. Her National success appeared immediate; another case of an “overnight” star that’d paid dues for a long time.
Don't miss Mary Kaye, FREE in the Lounge July 10
Mary Kaye is a multiple award winning singer-songwriter who shares the stories of the West in music and song.
She was born in Texas and raised in Texas and Mississippi. As a young woman she moved out West and “married her a cowboy.” She now resides on a 100 year old pioneer homestead in a small Western town in central Utah with her husband and children.
Mary Kaye recently won the Academy of Western Artist's 2011 Western Female Performer of the Year award. In addition, in 2010 she was named Female Vocalist of the Year by the Western Music Association. In that same year she also won the Crescendo Award and received a total of seven WMA nominations two of which were for best new song.
In January of 2012 Mary Kaye released, "No Wilder Place", a CD with 12 original western songs plus the classic, “Streets of Laredo”. The originals include a haunting Butch Cassidy ballad, Jenny's point of view in “Night Rider’s Lament”, two great western swings songs, a cowboy love song, baby’s growing up to be cowboys, and even one about a milk cow. It has been well received and well reviewed. It is rooted deeply in the western landscape Mary’s life is immersed in.
Rick Huff of Western Way Magazine, in his review of the CD stated, “How can such a good girl have such a good 'bad' girl voice? On this new release Mary Kaye…proves again she can stretch to handle anything from haunting ballads to feel-good swing and she can bring out a level of sass and fight in her voice that few other ladies in Western have yet demonstrated!” Her ability to wrap stories into enthralling songs and sing them beautifully has helped to quickly propel her into the inner circles of western music.
