Chris LeDoux - world champion bareback bronc rider, cattle rancher, builder, award-winning bronze sculptor, husband, father, and cowboy is coming to Grand Ronde. Singing and writing songs would seem like just another skill in his list if it weren't for the fact that he's so good at it. He's recorded 28 albums, fills 20,000 seat are nas, and has a devoted fan base that encompasses the old-timers who followed him op the rodeo circuit and the next generation who knows him as a loud and rowdy entertainer. LeDoux signed with Capitol Nashville in 1991. It didn't take long before he became a certified music star, reaching number seven on the country singles chart with "Whatcha Gonna Do With a Cowboy," a duet with his famous fan, Garth Brooks. Stampede, LeDoux's seventh album for Capitol Nash ville includes two west-inspired songs from the per former: the title song, and "Take Me to the Rodeo." With all his success in music, LeDoux is still a cow boy first. Though he retired from the rodeo in 1 984, he owns a working ranch in Wyoming. "Eventually," he says, "it would be nice to ride off into the sunset, go out and follow the cows around." fplp feints Sfcfett !! $!)
