 Waddie
Mitchell performed 11/2008
From his earliest days on the remote
Nevada ranches where his father worked, Waddie was immersed in
the cowboy way of entertaining, the art of spinnin’ tales in rhyme and meter
that came to be called cowboy poetry, a Western tradition that is as rich as the
lifestyle that gave birth to it. Within his stories, told in a voice that is
timeless and familiar, are the common bonds we all share, moments both grand and
commonplace, the humorous and the tragic, the life and death struggles and
triumphs that we each recognize. And yet, Waddie presents his
material with personal insights and the lessons learned during his life spent as
a buckaroo.

2006 AWA Male Vocalist of the Year R.W. Hampton
Saturday, Oct. 21st, 7:30pm
Hamley Slickfork Saloon
R.W. Hampton is one of the leading Western Entertainers in America today.
Blessed with a wonderfully rich baritone voice, R.W. has a quality of
genuineness about him that resonates when he’s on stage, in person or just
through the words of his songs. For R.W. has lived what he sings about, and the
world of early mornings, hard work, rough horses, maverick cattle and new ranges
fits him. After twenty years in the entertainment business, R.W. is still pure
cowboy, singing about what he loves best. Working cowboys in today’s world are
unique on their own, but being genuine in a day when even reality television
programs are set-up and staged is even more refreshing, and R.W.’s audiences and
fans appreciate that. A no host bar are provided.

Hampton performed at the Hamley Slickfork Saloon last year to a sold out crowd
and he left no one disappointed. In fact, it was the response to this early
concert for the young Slickfork Saloon that generated so much interest and has
now made it a favorite place to play for several western singers and has made it
a destination venue for many other performers.
