SAMMY STEELE Born 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’ moniker 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 bridges the gap between those definitive eras and movements creating a show that has something for audiences across all generations to appreciate and enjoy.

THE ALLEY CATS THE ALLEY CATS began at Fullerton College in California, and landed their first professional gig at Disneyland’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 welcoming home the troops from Iraq. Currently, the CATS are the opening act for Jay Leno in Las Vegas.

“One of the most memorable rock ensembles in the Northwest.” - Alina Shanin SeattleMusicInsider.com

Seattle’s Cody Beebe & The Crooks make rock music that is inspired by the frontier attitude of the American Heartland. When you hear their music, you hear the West’s Americana and Blues roots. However, rather than eclectic, the music comes off with a directness and unpretentious nature characteristic of their hometown’s rock and roll. After 5 years on the road and 2 albums, CBC is bolstered by a tight brotherhood and bravely presenting innovative music with honest, well crafted lyrics. Having recently performed at The Gorge’s Watershed Music 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 lasting 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, Augustana, Josh Turner, Little River Band, Jason Reeves, Reckless Kelly, Randy Rogers Band, Cody Canada and The Departed, Vicci Martinez, Jerry Jeff Walker, Micky and The Motorcars, Vanessa Carlton, Andy Griggs, Rooney, and many others.
BLAKE NOBLE
Australian Multi Instrumentalist Blake Noble has spent much of the last few years touring internationally while developing his incredible, unique guitar style mixed with Yidaki (Didgeridoo), and gaining an enthusiastic fan base everywhere he goes.

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
KENN SERRANO has performed his comedic antics 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.
“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 amazing than the last.” -Bonnie Price, Fair and Rodeo Volunteer | Ellensburg, WA

moon Cale
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!
Cale is a country boy whose voice is as deep & rich as the songs that he has writ-ten. Cale’s goal is to glorify 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 rumblings 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 blessed with that classic cowboy look that’s easy to photograph and—sell. He reminds of a young Linda Freepons,me Bleyhl Farm George Strait.Service I believe CaleCoordinator Moon has the poEvent tential to become country music’s next rising star. Here’s hoping you let him shine at your next event.”

If Jimmy Buffett, James Taylor and John Prine were joined together in some bizarre musical cloning experiment, 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.
