Celebrate Five Years of Laughter at Comedy on the Coast
Tickets are on sale now for the fifth
anniversary show of Comedy on the
Coast at Chinook Winds.
Comedy legend Kenny Bob Davis,
creator of Comedy on the Coast, will
headline the trio of comedians taking
the stage Aug. 17-18 at 8 p.m.
Don’t miss out when Kenny Bob
Davis, Tim Haldeman and Michael Pace
come to the coast to spread the laugh
ter. You won’t want to miss this special
weekend of events surrounding five
years of laughs and comedic talent.
Comedy on the Coast helped
launch many of these comedians into
stardom. Come see why this monthly
show is still going strong.
Kenny Boh Davis is well-acquainted
with Oregon audiences. He has opened
for Larry Gatlin at the Lincoln County
Fair and was the producer of the first
Pacific Northwest Comedy Competition.
He started his career in show busi
ness as a guitar-playing folk singer in the
’60s. In 1978, thanks to Eddie Rabbitt,
Davis started a new phase of his career
by becoming an opening-act comedian.
Since then, he has opened for
Kenny Rogers, Alabama, and Larry
Gatlin. Davis’ television and movie
Among his many credits are ap
pearances on The West Wing, Malcolm
in the Middle, ER, The Drew Carey
Show, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and
Third Rock from the Sun. Over the last
decade, Haldeman has developed a
stand-up routine that he has performed
across the country, including at The
Sahara in Las Vegas and at the Atlantis
Hotel in Atlantic City.
Michael Pace’s facial expressions
and punch lines have been compared
to Silly Putty and Sunday comic strips.
So it’s no surprise that he has had au
diences across the country laughing in
the aisles at The Improv, The Icehouse
and the Comedy Store.
Most recently, he can be seen on
HBO's award-winning series, Curb
Your Enthusiasm. This Emmy award
nominee (for his work as host on Comic
Kenny Bob Davis
Relief) is hilarious enough to have
credits include Mad TV, Gremlins and opened for top-name comedians in

Randy Travis Live in Concert
Country music superstar Randy
Travis is bringing his hit music live to
Chinook Winds on Aug. 24-25. He has
won numerous country music awards
for his hit songs including On The
Other Hand, Three Wooden Crosses
and many more.
Turned down by nearly every record
label in Nashville, often more than once,
he finally was signed to Warner Broth
ers Records in 1985. Record company
executives changed his name to Travis
and his first recorded effort for his new
label was Prairie Rose, on the sound
track to the film Rustler's Rhapsody.
It was followed by the release of
the album Storms of Life in 1986, and
the rest is country music history. The
first single, On the Other Hand, was a
perfect slice of Travis' authentic coun
try talent.
1982 followed and with that hit,
Travis established himselt as a singer
and performer in the grand tradition ot
George Jones, Lefty Frizell, Merle Hag
gard and a handful of others. The suc
cess of both singles led to widespread
demand for live shows, and Travis next
set out on an extensive tour that took
him across the United States and
Canada before record-setting crowds.
Soon it seemed every award in the
music business had Travis' name on it.
A string of country chart-toppers en
sued and by the end of the decade, his
record sales topped 13 million copies.
And Shine was awarded a Dove Award
for Country Album of the Year and the
single Three Wooden Crosses won the
Christian Country Music Association's
Song of the Year award.
Three Wooden Crosses also won
the 2003 CM A Award for Song of the
Year and had the distinction of being the
only song from a Christian label to ever
make it to No. 1 on the country charts.
In 2004, Travis’ Rise and Shine
album was honored again with a
Grammy for Best Southern, Country,
