Celebrate Independence Day this weekend with Dolan at the Arizona Folklore Preserve

UPDATE: Dolan Ellis and guitar virtuoso Michael Grande will be in concert  on July 18, 2008, in Sierra Vista, Arizona, at the Buena Performing Arts Center. This is a fundraiser for the Sierra Vista Symphony.  Here's the Poster (800K).

They will perform individually and will also do some songs together. This special event is being billed as "Double Dynamite" (and it is!). Emcee will be our favorite cowboy poet, Bud Strom.

The performance will be at 7:30 PM. Tickets are $30 and can be purchased at:

• Dillards
• Chamber of Commerce
• Safeway
• Spur Western Wear
• Periwinkle Music
• Sierra Vista Visitor's Center
• Fry's

Please note: We publish a monthly Balladeer Bulletin Board, which includes the current schedule, news about other activities, and a Balladeer Blog. It's free of course. If you'd like to subscribe, please click here.

Although we don't try to duplicate the New Christy Minstrels tour schedule here, please be aware that Dolan will be with them at the end of June at cities in Ohio, New York, Michigan, and Wisconsin. They're in Ruidoso, New Mexico, at the end of August. Then their schedule gets really busy in September, October, and November.

Web Site Updates (June 2008):

Several smaller changes, plus the following:

Updated the Dolan Ellis biography

Changed the Contacts page to indicate a different mailing address. Made the same change to the Order Form page.

The big change is in the Original Songs page. There are descriptions of previously unlisted songs that are on the "Tuba City" and "Chemistry" CDs, and there is an audio clip from each song on t hose CDs.

There's also an audio clip of "Sierry Petes" or "Tyin' Knots in the Devil's Tail" on the Cover Songs page.

Added a 59-second video clip for "Summertime" on the Cover Songs page.
