Performance Date

Children's Shows - Saturday, May 27 & Sunday, May 28

Don Sanders began performing at age 5 with an appearance in the title role of Littlest Angel in an elementary school pageant. His subsequent career has taken him from being a singer/songwriter with half a dozen recordings in the 70's, to acting and translating plays in the 80's, to storytelling and one man shows in the 90's. Currently, he travels the Southwest performing his song and story shows for schools, theaters and festivals.

People in the storytelling community are familiar with Don's alter ego, Sourdough the Camp Cook, who sings authentic cowboy songs and tells stories based on the WPA interviews. In addition to history tales, he also performs Latin American folktales, stories of the oilpatch and personal stories from his musical career.

He has just completed a new theatrical production of work songs titled River and Rails, is currently writing a young adult novel and recording a new CD of cowboy songs.
