If cowboy poetry was fresh milk, and the cream that rises to the top was the best of the cowboy poets, then Doris Daley would be very rich and very, very fattening!!" - Waddie Mitchell, Elko, NV
From the West Texas plains to the Eastern Slopes of the Rockies, Doris has been making her living as a western wordsmith all over North America for the past several years. She has an impeccable pedigree for the job: her gene pool includes Irish stowaways, sorry team ropers, petticoated bushwhackers, good cooks, nimble two-steppers, assorted cowboys and intrepid prairie homesteaders. No campfire too small, no convention hall too big, Doris has been a featured entertainer on western stages throughout Canada and the US, and is also a favourite at community parties, fund raisers, private parties and corporate events. Her best award--Doris Daley: Procurer and Collector of the Best Friends and Fans in the West. She and her husband Bob live in Turner Valley, Alberta.

Over the past years, performances and concerts have found Larry across Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta and into BC, playing the traditional, roots style of Western, Cowboy and Country Gospel music that keeps folks coming back for more. This performer, from Paddockwood, Sask., has been a headliner for Grandstand shows, performed on the mainstage at major Country Music Festivals, played for international trade shows, been featured on television specials, entertained around the fire after a long Cowboy day, and just about everything in between. Repeat invitations to be a Feature Artist at major Cowboy Poetry Gatherings across Western Canada, Community Hall Concerts, as well as the Calgary Stampede, speak very well of the following his prairie based original music has developed. Larry has released three albums; "True Blue", a Western album, "The Gate is open", an Award winning Country Gospel album, and his most recent release, "Northern Range" that hit the ground in the summer of 2010, to very favourable reviews on both sides of the border. Country radio across Western Canada, and the USA, regularly play songs from his CD's. His down to earth, standup performance style and solid vocal delivery combined with his ability to bring the story in the music to life, make for a memorable and enjoyable entertainment experience.

Best that others do the talking...so here's what Rick Huff, Western Music Critic says: "(I'm) an unabashed Jim Reader fan--this singer/songwriter's thoughtful creations represent some of the most consistently fresh material found anywhere - he's an original ...cowboy music's Bob Dylan or Neil Young except Jim hits more of the notes! Seriously, the depth of thought and guitar technique equates such artists." Award-winning DJ Tommy Tucker says "Jim can do it all; he can write, pick, sing and entertain all in one robust little package!" Jim has opened for singers such as Kenny Rogers and B.J. Thomas; he has written countless commercials and sporting event theme songs and has had two songs recently #1 and #2 spots in Western Music Charts.
Tyson has long been one of Canada’s most respected singer-songwriters.
