NATIONAL & LOCAL
BANDS WHO HAVE PERFORMED AT
BLAZING SADDLES
When you talk about Country Music in the Pacific Northwest, you have to include Gerry Andal & the Roughriders. This exciting and refreshing band has played pretty well everywhere country music can be played around here for the past few decades, always keeping dance floors full and toes tapping to their entertaining performances. Their program has always included an uncanny mix of current and classic country tunes and a taste of old time rock & roll.
For the ten years from 1986 to 1996, home for this band was Gerry Andal’s Ranch Restaurants in Everett, Auburn and Olympia as they ventured out to play many of the region’s fairs and rodeos. They are regulars at the Evergreen State Fair in Monroe as they do a show to a packed house eight out of twelve days of the fair at 5:00 pm. Prior to that, Gerry owned the Longhorn Bar & Grill in the University district of Seattle, and the Roughriders made that one of the hottest country nightclubs of its time. Some of the many outside shows performed by Gerry Andal and the Roughriders over the years include:
The Puyallup Fair Rodeo
The Skagit County Fair
The Stanwood-Camano Island County Fair
The Island County Fair
The KMPS Picnic
The Bite of Seattle

ERIC

We just wanted to thank everyone for getting out there and voting to get Eric on this list.

Singer/songwriter Danny O'Keefe began his musical career in the Minnesota coffeehouse scene in the 1960's In 1969, a meeting with Buffalo Springfield manager Charles Greene led to a telephone audition with Ahmet Ertegun, President of Atlantic Records, resulting in O'Keefe's first record deal. Atlantic Records released O'Keefe (1972) which featured the top-ten classic hit, "Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues", followed by the classic Breezy Stories (1973).
Since its initial thrust onto the airwaves, "Good Time Charlie's Got The Blues" has been recorded by Elvis Presley, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Leon Russell, Charlie Rich, Jerry Lee Lewis, Charlie McCoy, Cab Calloway, Earl Klugh, and Chet Atkins among others. Mel Torme performed it on the hit television series, "Night Court" and, most recently, it was recorded by Dwight Yoakam for his Under The Covers release, and featured in the film Wild Things.

With her deep, blues-soaked voice that poignantly captures the pain of the wronged and forgotten, Julie Roberts quickly became a favorite of the fans and fickle music critics alike.
Entertainment Weekly awarded her 2004 self-titled debut CD an ‘A’, calling it “one of the most auspicious debuts in years.” The New York Times said Roberts’ aching and resolute hit, “Break Down Here,” was “one of the year’s best country ballads.” Spotting her talent early, CMT selected Roberts to be the first artist ever to appear in In the Moment, the music network’s hour-long documentary on the making of a star.
The album was certified gold and led to two Horizon Award nominations from the Country Music Association, as well as a Top New Artist nomination and a Top New Female Vocalist nomination from the Academy of Country Music Awards, as well as a Breakthrough Artist nomination from the CMT Awards. She delivered two memorable performances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and was chosen over artists in all musical genres to sing the “Good To Go” theme song of the television show Good Morning America. “It’s been amazing,” she says of her success. “We’ve played so many places and I’ve been to so many places. But I haven’t really had time to sit back and reflect on all we’ve done.”
With her debut CD, Roberts was country music’s Cinderella, a stunning blonde from Lancaster, S.C., who stole everyone’s heart with her honest music, cover-girl looks, exuberant personality and irresistible laughter. And now with her second album, Men & Mascara, Roberts proves she’s in it for the long run.
From the moment they formed, Highway 101 presented a new approach to country music. The group’s blend of country roots and tradition with rock ‘n roll energy helped to catapult the country genre forward, tapping a whole new audience and paving the way for such mass appeal artists as Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson and Tim McGraw.
Their appearance at Blazing Saddles was a high point
of our Summer Concert Series.
They put on a show that all who attended will remember for quite awhile.
It is not often you get to see a band of this caliber up close and in
such an intimate setting. They were fun and musically exciting and totally
enjoyable.
