THE DALLES — Riders in the Sky will perform at the historic Granada Theatre on May 3, 7 p.m.
“The best in Western music since 1977,” read a press release. “Award-winning harmonies, wacky Western wit and high-yodeling adventures. ‘It’s the Cowboy Way!’”
Ranger Doug is the guitarist who yodels and sings lead and baritone vocals. Too Slim is the upright “bunkhouse” bassist. Woody Paul is the “King of the Cowboy Fiddlers,” and sings lead and tenor vocals. Last is Joey the “CowPolka King” who plays this accordion. Riders in The Sky have recorded over 40 albums and toured across the world, including all 50 states.
The group combines American Western music and comedy that appeals to audiences of all ages. Riders in the Sky originated 45 years ago in a very different world.
Their family-friendly may appeal to children, exemplified in their recordings for Disney and Pixar. They have won two Grammy awards for children’s albums. One was for a tie-in album around the characters of “Toy Story 2” called “Woody’s Roundup: A Rootin’ Tootin’ Collection of Woody’s Favorite Songs” and the other was for “Monsters, Inc. Scream Factory Favorites.” They also wrote and performed music for Pixar’s short film “For the Birds.”
