Not Just Cowboy Poetry 2019

“If cowboy poetry was fresh milk and the cream that rises to the top was the very best, then Doris Daley would be very rich and very fattening.” So says renowned cowboy ambassador Waddie Mitchell about an Alberta ranch girl whose love of word-smithing has made her one of North America’s favorite western poets, emcees and western humorists. 

Born and raised on a family ranch in the foothills of Alberta, Doris’s authentic, sparkling poetry has taken her to campfires large and small, to highways, roundabouts and gravel roads throughout the west, and to concert appearances with the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival and the Saskatchewan Opera Company.

With a performance career spanning more than 20 years,  Doris is a frequent performer at corporate and community events, Christmas parties, private parties and cowboy poetry gatherings.

“Doris Daley writes like Fanny Sperry Steele rode broncs: with skill and grace and a lot of class.”  Dave Stamey, Singer/Songwriter

“She also bakes great butter tarts.”  Doris’s mom Melva
