Nevada Slim and Cimarron Sue ... Nominated for 6 different awards in 2008 by the Western Music Association, Nevada Slim and Cimarron Sue, “Minstrels of the Old West,” deliver a spirited interpretation of traditional western music, honoring working cowboys and cowgirls, as well as those who rode their ranges in the movies. They draw from a large repertoire of songs and cowboy poetry to provide glimpses of the people who built the American west, blending music with storytelling to lend historic perspective to the show. The diverse duo also offers the music of early country legends, such as Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Marty Robbins, Johnny and June Carter Cash, and Jimmy Rogers. Susan “Cimarron Sue” Matley is a native of Port Townsend, WA. Her family comes from mining, ranching, and railroad folks in Republic and Starbuck, WA. She is a seasoned performer of over 20 years, plays bass guitar, and handles half the vocals for the duo. Bruce Matley, aka “Nevada Slim,” has performed for forty-plus years. Born and raised in Reno, Nevada to a pioneer cattle ranching family, Slim spent much of his childhood and teen years in the saddle on the ranges of Northern Nevada, in the hayfields, and engaged in the various tasks associated with ranching. Many of the traditional western songs in Slim’s repertoire were learned in childhood on the family ranch from cowboys who began their working lives in the 1890s. Nevada Slim and Cimarron Sue logged performances in 2008 at county fairs, cowboy gatherings, festivals, benefits, nightclubs, and other events. For winter 2009 they will perform at the Lee Earl Cowboy gathering (Lewiston, ID), the Kamloops Cowboy Festival in Kamloops, B.C., the Columbia River Cowboy Gathering in Pasco, WA, the Ritzville Historic Western Show, and a host of nightclub and other appearances. The duo’s 2009 summer season of county and state fairs will cover Clark, Skamania, Lincoln, and Walla Walla county fairs in Washington, with Oregon, Montana, and Idaho fair dates still to be announced. Slim and Sue appear before an average of 175 audiences per year.   You can learn more about the Nevada Slim & Cimarron Sue by visiting the Official Nevada Slim & Cimarron Sue website.
