Stampede
What do you get when you cross a good-looking, award winning singer/songwriter/ male vocalist with a good-looking award winning singer/songwriter/yodeling/husband/wife team? Give up? DON''T! You get STAMPEDE! And when you get STAMPEDE!, you get Western Music and Entertainment at its" best. You get the great sound of traditional Western Music plus outstanding original songs. You get harmony. You get yodeling. You get humor. In short you get ENTERTAINED!!
What this group brings to the stage is something very different from what you get from any other group in Western Music today.
They are considered one of the most popular Western Music groups in the Intermountain West and are in high demand for shows ranging from family reunions to fairs; from small intimate gatherings to large shows. No matter what size of audience, they always give the best performance they can give.
STAMPEDE! has had the honor of opening for such great acts as the Sons of the Pioneers, Don Edwards and Waddie Mitchell, Riders in the Sky and Dan Seals. They also performed during the Olympics in 2002. They have also performed at such well known festivals as the Cowboy Poetry and Music Gathering in Santa Clarita, CA, The Heber City Cowboy Gathering and Buckaroo Fair, the Festival of the American West in Wellsville, UT and at the Elko Gathering in Elko, NV plus numerous festivals and poetry gatherings throughout the West.
Their first CD, STAMPEDE!, is something that everyone will want for their collection. They have put together a great collection of songs; some traditional and some original. But its a safe bet that there is three part harmony and yodeling. Their second CD is in the planning stages and will be a collection of their most requested and some never heard before songs.
In the 3 ½ years that this high energy group has been together, they have been nominated for numerous awards including Duo/Group of the Year, Album of the Year, Entertainers of the Year as well as Male and Female Vocalists of the Year.

STEVE TAYLOR-Bass fiddle, vocals, harmony and humor
Born and raised in Evanston, WY, Steve sports an enviable handle-bar mustache which has earned him the nickname Longhorn Face. He is a fairly newcomer to the wooden/stringed instrument family but has proven that he can darn near play anything he wants on that bass of his, which by the way was his Mothers Day gift from his wife. His sense of humor comes naturally when hes on stage. You never know what to expect from him or when. His rendition of a chicken is worth catching as Terri does her famed Chicken Yodel.
