Winter Social & An Afternoon with Patty Clayton: Music, Heritage, and Holiday Spirit

 Join us for our winter social including a special program with Patty Clayton. Patty is an award-winning western music artist, with recent honors including Best Native American Style Song (2025) for “Wolf Moon” and Best Folk Cover (2024) for “One Lone Man” at the International Red Carpet Awards. She is also a two-time IWMA Female Performer of the Year and a Spur Finalist for “Prairie Passages” (2023).

Patty will share a 12-minute video she produced, Ben and Ole’s Land: A Deep West Video, which tells the remarkable story of her great-grandparents who homesteaded a remote ranch in western Idaho. Patty will also share how her western heritage shaped her musical journey and career. She’ll then take the stage with her guitar to perform a set of three songs—blending the spirit of the West with the warmth of the season, including at least one holiday favorite.

Don’t miss this unique mix of storytelling, history, and live music from one of western music’s most celebrated voices.  

Along with great music, we will celebrate the holidays with finger food so bring something a little savory or sweet to share with the group.

Patty’s six CDs will also be available.
