The legends of South African country music share the stage at The Carousel Casino & Entertainment World’s Cheyenne Saloon on 24 and 25 January for the ultimate country show – Country Magic. Lance James, Tommy Dell, Barbara Ray, Sally Vaughn, Clive Bruce and The Rodeo Girls will dish up the best country show south of Texas for two spectacular evenings. Multi award-winning country legend Lance ‘Big Daddy’ James has been at the forefront of entertainment in South Africa for over 50 golden years. This versatile artist, who is well-loved for the special bond he forms with his audiences during his performances, is also popular as a radio announcer, having started his career in broadcasting in 1954. He still does radio work across South Africa, Namibia and for Impala Radio in Perth. James has performed abroad, released more than 85 albums and won a host of awards including two honorary awards from the ATKV for his contribution to Afrikaans music, six Sarie awards and Vonk, Tempo, Ghoema and Sama Lifetime Achievement awards. Tommy ‘Killer’ Dell has been touring the country as a performer for over 40 years. He has also represented South Africa in Nashville at the International Country Fanfare Show and has worked with artists such as Dolly Parton, Charlie Pride, Conway Twitty, Crystal Gayle and Elvis Presley’s vocal backing band, the Jordanaires. A singer, songwriter, cabaret artist, radio presenter and comedian, Dell has 11 gold albums and 4 platinum CDs to his credit. Barbara Ray is ‘The Queen of Country Music’ in South Africa. She arrived in the country from Scotland in the mid-1960s and has been a household name ever since. Her concert performances have taken her around South Africa, as well as Zimbabwe, Namibia, Scotland, Madeira and a very successful tour of Australia. A multiple award-winner with 22 gold records to her name, Ray’s soft-spoken manner and warm personality, coupled with her wonderful songs, have made her one of South Africa’s most popular singers. Sally ‘Mama Country’ Vaughn has been a fixture on the South African music scene since she won multiple Sarie awards in 1983 for being the best female country singer with songs like The Teddy Bear Song and With You. Critically-acclaimed performances in Nashville followed, where she earned standing ovations with Glory Glory Hallelujah and Somewhere Between. She was part of the group Over the Hillbillies with Billy Forrest, Lance James, Joanna Field and Clive Bruce and has also recorded duets with Buddy Vaughn and Gene Rockwell.
