GEORGETOWN, Calif. — Western music fans on the Georgetown Divide will gather Sunday, March 22, for a highly anticipated performance by acclaimed singer-songwriter Dave Stamey at the historic IOOF Hall.
The 3 p.m. concert, presented by Music on the Divide, has already sold out its advance online ticket allotment, underscoring strong local interest. Members and Eventbrite ticket holders may enter at 2 p.m. for early seating. Doors will open to the general public at 2:30 p.m. for any remaining available seats.
Tickets at the door are $25 for adults, $5 for students ages 12 to 18, and free for children 11 and under if space allows. Door sales are cash or check only. Seating may include chairs or bench space around the perimeter of the hall.
Stamey, often described as a modern-day cowboy balladeer, has earned national recognition for his vivid portrayals of ranch life and the evolving American West. Cowboys & Indians Magazine has called him the “Charley Russell of Western Music,” a nod to the famed Western artist Charles M. Russell. Mike Fleming, director of the Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival, praised Stamey’s work, saying he is “one of the best Western songwriters alive today,” adding that “his melodies blend perfectly with his lyrics … He never fails to engage his audience and take them on a rewarding journey through the panorama of the West.”
A former cowboy, mule packer and dude wrangler, Stamey draws on firsthand experience in his songwriting. His composition “Vaquero Song” was named by Western Horseman magazine as one of the greatest Western songs of all time. Over his career, he has been inducted into the Western Music Hall of Fame and received multiple honors from the International Western Music Association, including seven Entertainer of the Year awards and five Songwriter of the Year awards.
Beyond music, Stamey is also an author, with published works including The First Twenty-Five Years, Songs and Stories (2018) and Pigaroo and the Code of the West (2021).
Organizers say ticket and membership sales support more than performances. Proceeds help fund music scholarships for Divide youth, school concerts and the annual Young Musicians Concert scheduled for April. Music on the Divide operates as a nonprofit supported by grants, donations, memberships, sponsorships and ticket revenue.
Memberships may be purchased at the door, pending seating availability. A 2026 season membership covering four remaining concerts is $80, while a duet membership for two adults is $140. New members attending Sunday’s show may gain entry if seats remain available after 2:30 p.m.
The IOOF Hall is located at 6240 Main St. in Georgetown.
Publisher – This is one of my favorites from a large list of Stamey much loved songs. In 1982 I was gifted my deceased father’s ’67 Chevy Fleetside. Every word of this song rings true to me.
Man, I hated that truck…
Man I miss that truck!
Hurry to see him
