SUMMARY:Michael Grande
DESCRIPTION:Michael Grande\, one of the world’s beloved entertainers is returning this weekend. \nGrande\, who tours the world\, only performs in Cochise County twice per year. A singer-songwriter and virtuoso guitarist\, Grande brings laughter and tears to audience members as he moves from exciting instrumentals featuring his famous five-fingered picking technique and breathtaking guitar flourishes to his gentle\, almost caressing of the strings\, as his sexy\, smooth voice\, tells tales of soldiers\, families and the great depression. \nBut if the song is a sad one\, the mood is uplifted immediately by Grande inserting songs and stories of friends\, family and animals: a little girl’s first horse\, the loss of a stray dog that became a hero to a family it saved\, and the romantic love story of an Arabian stallion and mare. \nIn between songs\, Grande is known for his tales. Growing up in an Italian family\, he tells of being a child in Brooklyn\, N.Y.\, where he used to tie the tail of his coonskin cap to his bicycle and pretend it was a horse as he raced through the mean streets of Bensonhurst.  In his mind and his dreams\, he was always a cowboy\, and he was always in Arizona.

SUMMARY:Kerry Grombacher
DESCRIPTION:Kerry Grombacher writes contemporary western songs and plays guitar and mandolin. His song\, Range of the Buffalo\, was named 2021 Song of the Year by the International Western Music Association. \nIn the spirit of the troubadours of old\, Kerry Grombacher’s songs paint vivid portraits and tell the fascinating stories of working cowboys and old camp cooks\, roadside motels and prisons\, wildland firefighters\, cattle rustlers and wolf trappers – the landmarks and denizens of the west.  You’ll find Kerry at Cowboy Poetry Gatherings and Folk Festivals\, singing his songs\, playing mandolin as a sideman\, and picking in the jam sessions and around the campfires until the last song is sung. \nKerry was born in Kansas and has lived and worked in Texas\, New Mexico\, and Oregon. That’s taught him to admire the men and women who still work cattle and to respect the traditions of the West. His songs have found great acceptance among the poets\, musicians\, and fans who have heard him play\, and they’ve been recorded by other western artists\, including Jim Jones\, Belinda Gail\, The Texas Trailhands\, Duke Davis\, Trails & Rails\, Earl Gleason\, Ed Stabler\, and Gary Prescott. One of his songs appears on the 2012 children’s compilation\, Cowboy Playground\, released by Putumayo World Music. \nKerry has sung his songs at events as varied as the Durango Cowboy Poetry Gathering\, the Newport Folk Festival\, Cowboy Songs & Range Ballads (Cody\, WY) and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. As a sideman\, he’s played mandolin with a list of western performers that includes Chuck Pyle\, Belinda Gail\, Joni Harms\, Wylie Gustafson\, Eli Barsi\, Ken Overcast\, and Jean Prescott. Kerry sang at the dedication of the last memorial marker on the Chisholm Trail in Oklahoma\, and he was featured on The Big Roundup website\, www.cowboypoetry.com. \nGrombacher regularly plays at performing arts centers\, coffeehouses\, house concerts and other music venues\, and he’s performed on the syndicated television show\, Louisiana Jukebox\, and on River City Folk\, a music program that’s heard nationally on public radio stations and on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio.  In 2001\, he gave a concert beneath the neon signs on the parking lot of the Sands Motel on Historic Route 66 in Grants\, New Mexico and the owner named a room for him! His 2012 “Highway 281 Troubadour Tour” followed that US Highway from the Canadian border to Mexico\, with stops along the way for concerts. \nKerry’s recordings include Range of the Buffalo\, It Sings in the Hi-Line\, Sands Motel\, Riding for the Brand\, Dreams of New Orleans\, and Home to the West. He’s a member of the International Western Music Association and Folk Alliance International\, and he endorses Elixir Guitar and Mandolin Strings. \nKerry Grombacher                                          kgrombacher@yahoo.com \n512-296-7833 (cell)                                        www.kgrombacher.com

SUMMARY:Joni Harms
DESCRIPTION:Joni Harms has a warm sincerity and ease to her voice… a voice that shines through on stories and melodies of a country/western way of life\, making you feel you are part of the entire experience she sings about\, as if she is singing only to you. In many ways\, Joni is a pioneer and torch-bearer\, knowing the country lifestyle is made up of a blend of musical sounds\, giving her a unique style drawing crowds\, literally\, around the world. \n“Growing up\, I learned to sing and write songs by listening to Emmylou Harris\, Dolly Parton\, Merle Haggard and George Strait\,” says Harms. “I remember seeing Emmylou Harris\, and\, after playing a while with the famous Hot Band\, she returned to the stage with just her black Gibson guitar and proved if you can truly sing\, write a song and play your guitar\, then you can entertain your audience all by yourself.” \nAlthough it is always special to perform with a great band\, Joni held onto that challenging lesson and enjoys performing for radio stations and at various events with just her guitar\, showing off that pure country voice she has been praised for since she signed her first record deal with the famed music producer Jimmy Bowen of Capitol Records in the early 1990s. Any singer will tell you not everyone can entertain that way\, but Joni is a master. \nJoni Harms’ musical journey continues around with globe with the release of her 13th studio album\, Lucky 13\, which is receiving amazing reviews. Country Music People Magazine says…”these are some of the very best country songs of recent years and prove that Joni Harms is one of country music’s most underrated writers.” \nThere is no mistaking the fact that Joni was a Merle Haggard fan as she even wrote a tribute to him on her latest album\, Lucky 13\, simply titled Merle. Joni Harms has built a career on two-stepping\, toe-tapping shuffles and swing songs on her CDs. Joni loves to write about rodeo\, cowboys and the ranch way of living\, but says her favorite kind of songs to write are ballads or story songs. That’s why Merle is one of her favorites. “I absolutely love it when someone tells me that a song of mine has touched them or helped them through a tough situation. It makes me all the more certain that I am doing what I was put on this earth to do\,” shares Harms. \nJoni’s signature cowboy hat and boots are indeed more than a fashion statement. Harms lives on a century farm in Oregon that was homesteaded by her great\, great grandfather Harms in 1872. Joni says\, “This place has inspired many of my songs and I think they truly represent who I am and what is important to me.” \nAnd there is no question who Joni Harms is. She is a tough\, hard-working rancher who is also a mom with strong values with a gift for writing and performing music. She admits sometimes it is hard juggling all of these things\, but they are important to her and she wouldn’t change a thing. \nJoni Harms has earned multiple honors from such notable organizations as the Western Music Association and the Academy of Western Artists. She has also performed on some of the most famous stages\, including the Grand Ole Opry and New York City’s Carnegie Hall. \nJoni Harms continues to tour and do what she loves\, saying her journey so far has been absolutely wonderful. God willing she’s not going anywhere for a long time and has a lot more songs to write and sing!

Joni says\, “This place has inspired many of my songs and I think they truly represent who I am and what is important to me.” \nAnd there is no question who Joni Harms is. She is a tough\, hard-working rancher who is also a mom with strong values with a gift for writing and performing music. She admits sometimes it is hard juggling all of these things\, but they are important to her and she wouldn’t change a thing. \nJoni Harms has earned multiple honors from such notable organizations as the Western Music Association and the Academy of Western Artists. She has also performed on some of the most famous stages\, including the Grand Ole Opry and New York City’s Carnegie Hall. \nJoni Harms continues to tour and do what she loves\, saying her journey so far has been absolutely wonderful. God willing she’s not going anywhere for a long time and has a lot more songs to write and sing!

SUMMARY:Nancy Elliot
DESCRIPTION:Mom and Dad bought a Kimball Organ when I was about seven years old\, and I guess that started it all. At\nthirteen\, a friend of the family taught me a few guitar chords\, and I got my first 12 string the next year. With the\nmusic of John Denver\, Batdorf and Rodney and America inspiration\, I began writing simple songs and playing folk\nmusic at campfires\, weddings and local festivals. The years after High School found me in California working for the\npark service and playing evenings in campgrounds and restaurants. Abilene\, Texas was the next stop. With its wild\nand woolly mix of a low drinking age (that being 18)\, public dance halls and private clubs\, I found my self singing\nLinda Ronstadt and Willie Nelson covers behind chicken wire. I had the honor of playing one night a week for\nseveral months at Mel Tillis’s “The Old Sawmill”\, The Town Crier Steakhouse\, a pool bar\, whose name I can’t\nremember (might be a good thing) near the back gate of the base\, and a fund raiser for the Veterans Hospital with\nRex Allen\, Rex Allen Jr and Johnny Gimble. I got out of Abilene with my guitar\, my ‘70 Chevy Impala 350\, some\nreal good stories and 10 stitches around my eye from one of those nights there was not enough chicken wire in the\nstate Texas to protect the band. \nBack in Ohio\, and once again on the local Dayton folk scene\, I played Sam’s on 5th\, The Trolley Stop in the\nOregon District and was a performer on opening night at Mick Montgomery’s Canal Street Tavern\, where I also later\ntended bar. Brisco’s Lounge\, Winds Café\, Tuty’s Inn\, my goodness\, it was time of stage hopping with friends and\nsolid\, paying gigs\, many of them sit downs where a player could make a living. \nComing to Arizona in 1990 I discovered the Western & Cowboy music. Katy Creek Band resulted in 2001\,\nlasting a good 13years and four albums. This lovely but tiny genre provided inspiration to grow in my song writing\nand performance abilities. Now\, seeking wider and broader opportunities\, including for “The Heart of It All” story\nand song concerts\, I once again perform in the Folk genre\, particularly my self coined “South~Western Americana”. \nAfter a ten year recording hiatus\, the “Tall Tree” album released in January of 2019. Recorded for Mi Casa\nRecords and produced by Maestro Ismael Barajas\, Tall Tree is the first in my self coined South~Western Americana.\nThe drum styles\, arrangements and rhythms\, the wide open shelving of instruments against vocals\, and the\ninstruments themselves\, are a direct reflection of my life in the Desert Southwest. \nMy second album of South~Western Americana\, “Bluebirds Singing On The Buffalo Road\,” is bare bones\,\njust me and my guitars with harmony vocals on a few songs. It includes “Lightning Woman Danced\,” “ By Moon or\nNo Moon\,” refreshed recordings of “Autumn’s On Its Way and “Wild Rose\,” and “The Ruby Handled Knife\,” a poem inspired while writing the book\, “Autumn’s On Its Way\,” which released January of 2024. \nI am a proud member of the Western Writers of America. \nContact information and booking\nNancy Elliott 520~705~5901\nwww.NancyElliottMusic.com

SUMMARY:Michael Grande
DESCRIPTION:Michael Grande\, one of the world’s beloved entertainers is returning this weekend. \nGrande\, who tours the world\, only performs in Cochise County twice per year. A singer-songwriter and virtuoso guitarist\, Grande brings laughter and tears to audience members as he moves from exciting instrumentals featuring his famous five-fingered picking technique and breathtaking guitar flourishes to his gentle\, almost caressing of the strings\, as his sexy\, smooth voice\, tells tales of soldiers\, families and the great depression. \nBut if the song is a sad one\, the mood is uplifted immediately by Grande inserting songs and stories of friends\, family and animals: a little girl’s first horse\, the loss of a stray dog that became a hero to a family it saved\, and the romantic love story of an Arabian stallion and mare. \nIn between songs\, Grande is known for his tales. Growing up in an Italian family\, he tells of being a child in Brooklyn\, N.Y.\, where he used to tie the tail of his coonskin cap to his bicycle and pretend it was a horse as he raced through the mean streets of Bensonhurst.  In his mind and his dreams\, he was always a cowboy\, and he was always in Arizona.
