Acclaimed Western musician to take the stage at Bath’s Winter Street Center
Western Music Legend Dave Stamey to Play Bath on Saturday
Bath, Maine – Fans of Western music will have a rare chance to hear one of the genre’s most celebrated performers live on Saturday, Oct. 10. Shinanatu Farm has booked veteran cowboy‑balladeer Dave Stamey for a concert at the Winter Street Center, slated for 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Tickets are on sale through the Sagadahoc Preservation website, where the organization is selling them as part of a regional effort to promote cultural events in the Midcoast area. Attendees can purchase tickets online at sagadahocpreservation.org/shop/p/dave-stamey-in-concert.
Stamey, a Montana native who spent his early years as a cowboy, mule packer and dude‑ranch wrangler, has turned that rugged life into a storied music career. He has earned the Western Music Association’s titles of Entertainer of the Year and Male Performer of the Year seven times each, and Songwriter of the Year five times. In 2016, he was inducted into the Western Music Hall of Fame, and for four straight years True West Magazine named him its Best Living Western Solo Musician. Critics have praised his authenticity; Booth Western Art Museum director Seth Hopkins calls him “perhaps the greatest cowboy balladeer alive today,” and Cowboys & Indians Magazine has likened him to “the Charlie Russell of Western music.”
The concert will feature a selection of Stamey’s most popular songs, including “Buckaroo Man,” “Cowpoke,” “Spin That Pony,” “The Auctioneer,” “Come Ride With Me,” “The Vaquero Song,” and “Riding Down the Canyon.” The set list reflects his wide-ranging songwriting, which draws upon his experiences across the Rocky Mountains, Nevada’s high desert and California’s Pacific Slope.
Shinanatu Farm, a 17.5‑acre equestrian property on River Road in Brunswick, is owned by Kim and Doug Stone. The farm is well known in the Midcoast community for its natural trail riding and horsemanship programs, as well as for hosting some of the world’s most accomplished Western clinicians.
The Winter Street Center in Bath is a historic venue that has long been a hub for arts and culture in the area. The venue’s intimate setting should provide a great backdrop for Stamey’s storytelling and acoustic sound.
Tickets are limited, so interested listeners are encouraged to reserve their spot early. The concert promises a night of storytelling, melody, and a celebration of the Western frontier that has shaped Stamey’s life and music.
