About Gordy Pratt:

Gordy appeared on ABC’s Good Morning America and shared the stage with Kenny Chesney, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Beach Boys and many more. Called the “Victor Borge of the guitar,” Gordy has been writing and performing his brand of stand-up musical comedy since 1990.
A theater and music professional for 35 years, Gordy studied classical guitar and ancient music at Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY; the Royal College of Music in London; and the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. He toured nationally and internationally with major theatrical productions. He created the Deadwood Production Company and produced 12 historical shows, which were performed more than 3,000 times.

On the day of his big break, a spot on ABC’s Good Morning America, Gordy was “pre-empted by the untimely death of Frank Sinatra.” It was an honor for him to share any spotlight with Frank.” Gordy appeared on the show as part of the program’s special tourism of the Black Hills. “I was on the show because I showed up at the Deadwood Chamber office with my guitar and sang a couple of songs for the GMA producer. He said, ‘Could we use that one on the show?’ Could they? YEAH!!!” And so Gordy sang his original song “Days of ‘76” from his one-man show, “SETH BULLOCK: Spirit of the West,” on the popular morning program.

“Turns out that wasn’t my big break. I’m still waiting. In the meantime, I’m doing what I love: making people laugh and cry and laugh so hard they cry.”

Gordy’s performs his unique brand of stand-up musical comedy dozens of times a year and he has performed “SETH BULLOCK: The Spirit of the West” more than 1000 times.

He continues to write and perform with his new pardner Dalyce Sellers.”I am so grateful that Dalyce and her husband Michael came into my life. Our chemistry is contagious. We have so much fun it should be illegal.

Gordy lives in Spearfish, South Dakota. He lives alone, he has no friends.

About Dalyce Sellers:

Dalyce is a born entertainer. Her first public performance was in kindergarten. She raised her hand to go the restroom and when she didn’t come back, Mrs. Van Roekel found her in the bathroom. The door creaked open, ”‘Dalyce, what are you doing?” She was just sitting on the throne singing her heart out. “Singing!” - Today Dalyce would be one of those kid stars on Youtube.

Dalyce attributes her musical foundation to playing and singing hymns. While studying voice at the University of South Dakota, she discovered rock & roll and was well on her way to fortune and fame performing with The Tracterz and Lip Service opening for Huey Lewis, the Violent Femmes, Bow, Wow, Wow and many more. She was inducted into the Iowa Rock n Roll Hall of Fame as a member Hot Rod Chevy Kevy.

“I met my husband, Michael, on the road with a national touring group. He pursued me for a couple years before I finally gave up my dreams of fortune and fame for marital bliss.”, says Sellers. “He’s a great guy!”

In 2012 Michael and Dalyce moved to Wyoming to manage a ranch. “I didn’t have a 40 hour per week job for the first time in my life so I decided to pick up the guitar again and began attending local music gatherings. Then I met Gordy. I couldn’t have found a better partner and we hit it off immediately. Since February 2017 we have had our noses to the grindstone crafting many different shows. It’s been a hoot, and I wouldn’t trade it for the world!”

“My goal is to play as much good music for as many good people as I can and have a good time doing it.”

About Kenny Putnam:

While Kenny Putnam a student at the University of South Dakota, he was approached by county music legend, and “Hee Haw” star: Roy Clark to go on tour. Putnam joined Clark and played all over the world, from the Grand Ole Opry to Leningrad in the former Soviet Union. Putnam said Clark believed music could unite and break down cultural barriers. “He said people are people, and its the governments, the politics, the barriers that those institutions put up against cultures and people,” Putnam said.

During their eight-year tour, they also played such venues as the Houston Astrodome, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, and even Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show.” Putnam said Clark revolutionized the way people listened to country music, especially with the long-running television show “Hee Haw.” Clark blurred the lines between country and popular music introducing country to people unfamiliar with it.

“As an entertainer, as a presence, as a personality, he’d headline in Vegas, and that kind of thing, as opposed to country artists who normally wouldn’t be doing that,” Putnam said.

Though Putnam’s career took him thousands of miles from Rapid City, the burgeoning music and arts scene in Rapid City brought him back.

“I love this part of the country more than any place we’ve ever lived,” he said.
