- TRD Honored with AWA Nominations
Don & The Roping Dummies have received three nominations from The Academy of Western Artists for 2012. Western Album of the Year, Western Swing Album of the Year and Western Swing Male Vocalist of the Year!
- Don & The Roping Dummies
- They may have a riotously funny name, but these guys take their Western harmonizing and Western Swing seriously! By the way, their name for it is “Cowboy Rhythm.” Centered in Denver,Colorado the band consists of lead singer Don Miller (a former stunt performer and big bandleader!), Mike Dudley on mandolin & vocals, Tom Barbour on
guitar and David Becher on acoustic bass. Joining on the recording are Matthew Von Doran (acoustic guitar), Jim Fischer (acoustic bass), Michael Kelly (fiddle) and Steve Lindstrom & CD producer Steve McClintock on additional vocal work. The repertoire is the “chuckwagon”
one, for the most part…”Back In The Saddle Again,” Don’t Fence Me In,” “Skyball Paint,” “Pecos Bill,” “South Of The Border” and so on. But they do them quite well and would be a great introduction of the genre for first time listeners!!
