DE SMET — Traditional, classic country music is alive and well! With their name taken from the 1971 Lefty Frizzell song, The Honky-Tonk Stardust Cowboys play the country tunes of bygone days. De Smet proudly hosts this group at their Event Center on Sunday, June 9, at 3 p.m. as a part of the Old Settlers Day’s Celebration and the De Smet Area Concert Series.
The band is one of the very few in central Minnesota performing traditional country music in the spirit and sound of the original recordings. Their song list includes classic hits from artists such as: Martina McBride, Rosanne Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Tanya Tucker, Loretta Lynn, Dwight Yoakam and many more as well as some early rock and roll songs.
The Honky-Tonk Stardust Cowboys are one of Minnesota’s top classic country bands and include some of the area’s best musicians. Lead singer Cassie Wiesner is well known throughout the Midwest for her Patsy Cline tribute show with the band Cassie and the Bobs. On guitar is the newest Cowboy, Greg Dopp with over 40 years in the music business and respected throughout the area as one of the best. Keeping the beat is drummer Tony Ray. Tony has been a member of many great Minnesota bands throughout the years including Cassie and the Bobs. He books and promotes live music through his company, Good Clean Fun Productions. Kimber Wolfe holds the low end down on bass guitar. Kimber got her start in country music with the Elkay Band and has since played in a number of rock and blues bands such as Southern Uprising and The Shackshakers.
The Honky-Tonk Stardust Cowboys appeal to young and old crowds alike. Individual tickets are on sale for $18 each. Seating is limited. Tickets will be sold at the door if there are still tickets available. It is recommended to call the De Smet Event Center, 605-854-6060 to find availability and to reserve your ticket.
