SAMMY STEELEBorn in North Dakota and raised in Seattle, one of Sammy’s earliest musical memories is of watching and listening to his uncle Tony Steele perform on a local Washington television showcase. Country music runs deep in his family and the ‘Steele’ mon-iker began with his uncle Tony as a tribute to his family’s blue-collar roots in the iron industry. It’s that tradition that would eventually inspire Sammy to begin cultivating his own talent out of that spark of vocal ability recognized by his friends and family at an early age.

Paying tribute to the greats of each wave of country and rock traditions, Sammy Steele’s playlist bridg-es the gap between those definitive eras and move-ments creating a show that has something for audi-ences across all generations to appreciate and enjoy.

WALK-ABOUTS

THE ALLEY CATS began at Fullerton College in Cal-ifornia, and landed their first professional gig at Dis-neyland’s “Blast to the Past.” Soon after, they appeared on TV, radio shows, corporate events, Performing Arts Centers, fairs, festivals, schools, and even a USO show aboard the John C. Stennis aircraft carrier wel-coming home the troops from Iraq. Currently, the CATS are the opening act for Jay Leno in Las Vegas.

Atlas Robotics

Get ready to see your favorite animal and characters come to life – Ellensburg’s own master balloon art-ist Hugh Wilder, is the Balloon Man. Hugh has been twisting and tying balloons into Winnie the Pooh, Woody the Woodpecker and lots of other fun shapes for more than a dozen years.

Since 1984 Atlas Robotics has been building and pro-viding life-size interactive robots for entertainment the world over. We have entertained in London, Ger-many, United Arab Emirates, Italy, Canada, South America, and of course all across this beautiful land of ours in the US. We have performed for such no-tables as: Bill Gates, George Lucas, William Ran-dolf Hearst III, California governor Pete Wilson, the Prince of UAE, as well as thousands and thousands of regular folk like you and me. Children of all ages en-joy laughing and talking with our fun loving robots. We hope you do too.

HENRIETTATHE CHICKEN

“One of the most mem-orable rock ensembles in the Northwest.”

CODY BEBEE& THE CROOKS

Seattle’s Cody Beebe & The Crooks make rock music that is inspired by the frontier at-titude of the American Heart-land. When you hear their music, you hear the West’s Americana and Blues roots. However, rather than eclec-tic, the music comes off with a directness and unpretentious nature characteristic of their hometown’s rock and roll. Af-ter 5 years on the road and 2 albums, CBC is bolstered by a tight brotherhood and bravely presenting innovative music with honest, well crafted lyr-ics.

Having recently performed at The Gorge’s Watershed Mu-sic Festival and having shared stages with acts as diverse and

accomplished as Buddy Guy, Stevie Nicks, Austin Jenckes, and Allen Stone, CBC is on the precipice of making a last-ing national impact.

Cody Beebe & The Crooks have shared the stage with:Buddy Guy, Stevie Nicks, Iron and Wine, Jimmie Vaughan, K.D. Lang, Allen Stone, Au-gustana, Josh Turner, Little River Band, Jason Reeves, Reckless Kelly, Randy Rogers Band, Cody Canada and The Departed, Vicci Martinez, Jer-ry Jeff Walker, Micky and The Motorcars, Vanessa Carlton, Andy Griggs, Rooney, and many others.

age of a one-man band.” - Seattle Weekly

JEANNE COADY

Ellensburg’s Jeanne Coady brings back to life for a day with spot-on renditions, songs from the Great American Songbook - a collection of the most important and most influential American popular songs of the 20th century. Coady brings back songs like Georgia, Fly Me to the Moon, A Foggy Day, Over the Rainbow and many more. Come and share in this journey through song from the 20s to the 50s- The songs of enduring popularity that you still know and love. WEBSITE

“A real hit at the fair this year was the Patsy Cline Impersonator. What a

unique, refreshing act. I looked around at the crowd and the spectators all had

their mouths hanging open. This gal had the clothes, the hair, the mannerisms,

and the voice. Each song was more amaz-ing than the last.”

-Bonnie Price, Fair and Rodeo Volunteer | Ellensburg, WA

GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

KEN SERRANO

KENN SERRANO has performed his comedic an-tics from the Orient to the Big Apple to the land of Aloha. After his tour de force in Maui, performing for The Four Seasons, Maui Prince, Ritz Carlton and more — and every celebrity to visit the island for 12 years! — Kenn is now back on the mainland, still spreading the magic and fun.

Cale is a country boy whose voice is as deep & rich as the songs that he has writ-ten. Cale’s goal is to glo-rify God and to touch the lives of others through his music. Who would have believed, back in 2009 when Cale started learning the guitar, that just a few years later, he would be a full time country artist, living on the road, his family sacrificing their home, to help Cale pursue his dream?

“You’re reading this letter of recommendation because, somehow, you’ve already heard rum-

blings about an amazing young man with a big voice. I say “hire him!” Whatever the gig, it’ll

be one of the best decisions of your promotions career. Cale is a genu-inely talented country

singer/songwriter with a feel-good sound that appeals to a mass audience. He has great stage

presence; crowds love him. He’s professional, punctual and polite. In short, he’s a wonderful entertainer. Cale’s sound sells itself. But from

strictly a marketing perspective, he’s also bless-ed with that classic cowboy look that’s easy to

photograph and sell. He reminds me of a young George Strait. I believe Cale Moon has the po-

tential to become country music’s next rising star. Here’s hoping you let him shine at your

next event.”

Cale’s music has a sound that trans-cends eras. It is loved by all ages and walks of life. His music has been in-spired by the greats of old time

country music as well as the stars of today!

KITTITAS COUNTY FAIR

If Jimmy Buffett, James Taylor and John Prine were joined together in some bizarre musical cloning ex-periment, the outcome would be John Dunnigan. This “offbeat” musician and entertainer took the backroads to Montana over three decades ago and never left (he’s no fool). His original, often hilarious songs make you think, laugh, sing along and raise your glass in a toast to life. In short, he can put a smile on your face.

CHANCEBROTHERSBAND The Chance Brothers in its pur-est form is Bruce on acoustic guitar and Rob on upright bass. Bruce writes most of the ma-terial which ranges from black hat C & W to folksy/jazzy blues. There’s freshness and an honesty and openness about the Chance Brothers and their music. Try it, you’ll like it!
