Linda Lee Filener
Raised at Imnaha (em-na-hah), Oregon, she learned the old country songs and to play the guitar. Her family often "jammed" with folks along the Imnaha River, including Tommy Doss, of the Sons of the Pioneers. What an honor, when she was asked to accept the 2008 WMA "Hall Of Fame" award his behalf. Linda has worked on many ranches. Hazin' wild cows for Monk Maxwell on the Walkin' J was one of her most exciting jobs. Linda's CD is available on CD Baby.

Rich Flanders
Celebrating the beauty of the wild and the road of the rover, YONDERING was nominated Best Album of the Year by The Academy of Western Artists, and won The Will Rogers Cowboy Award for Best Song, 2008 (Blue Prairie.). The latest cd, RIDE AWAY, received this review from Rick Huff in the Fall 2009 issue of The Western Way:
"One of Western Music's A-List performers ....A brilliant album, and I mean the kind that could and should earn Classic status....What a treat you're in for! RIDE AWAY is top notch."
In the tradition of The Sons of the Pioneers, Riders of the Purple Sage and the great singing cowboys, the rich harmonies and fine guitar, accordion, fiddle and acoustic bass accompaniment of the albums conjure up windswept prairies, far blue peaks, and the great lone places.
Mike Flavin
Music was a big part of my life growing up on a dairy farm in northern Kansas. My first stage solo was around the age of seven, and I have been singing ever since. I picked up a guitar as a teenager and have not yet kicked the habit. For the past 33 years, the auction business has helped me keep my feet planted in the country way of life. I have been able to work with Michael Martin Murphey and Judy Coder over the years. A lover of good ballads, Country music has always struck a note with me.
