NOMINEES FOR THE 2007 WESTERN MUSIC ASSOCIATION CRESCENDO AWARD

2007 ASSOCIATE MEMBER OF THE YEAR, COLORADO ASS'N OF FAIRS AND SHOWS

The YAMPA VALLEY BOYS were nominated for the 2007 Crescendo Award by the membership of the Western Music Association. They also made the WMA's "top ten" list in the category of best duo or group for traditional western music and western swing music. They were named the "Associate Member of the Year" for 2007 by the Colorado Association of Fairs and Shows.

"Anyone who has ever owned a horse or enjoyed an old-time cowboy movie loves these guys. They have an easy, down-home cowboy humor that really connected with our audience. " Arty Smith, Promoter, Coyote Creek Concerts, Elbert, CO 80106.

The YAMPA VALLEY BOYS make the top ten again! Their new CD, "CLOSE TO HOME", is their second album to make the top ten of the Academy of Western Artists ratings chart.

As published in "Rope Burns", March-April issue, the CD charted #6 for western music album, and their original song, "WORD WEAVER" reached #7.

COWBOY MAGAZINE, Spring 2007 issue, has this to say about the new CD: "Steve Jones and John Fisher have teamed up again to produce yet another intriguing collection of cowboy/western songs. Steve's tenor leads are terrific, and John's harmonies, banjo pickin' and mandolin strummin' are superb...These guys are good. Their harmonies are melodious and tight, and their musicianship is impeccable. They deserve a serious listen."

In their live show, you will take a journey back to the old west. It will feature all acoustic music, plus stories and poems about the cowboy---his ways, his life, his humor, his horse (of course!) and, sometimes, his favorite cowgirl. Formatted as an old time radio show, yet as intimate as a campfire sing-along, the YAMPA VALLEY BOYS will bring you laughter, maybe a tear or two, and always a good time. Youngsters and old timers, whatever the occasion, have been captivated by the unique manner in which the YAMPA VALLEY BOYS preserve some of our Western heritage.
