Patty Clayton is a performing songwriter whose original Buckaroo Ballads and borrowed songs celebrate the present and yesteryears of the West. She knows her subject well; she was raised in the West, in a family rich with ranching history in the Pacific Northwest.

     Pattys pure vocals have delighted Western and Folk audiences in a career that has spanned several decades, both as a solo artist, and with her band Cimarron Wind.      She calls Denver home these days, but travels the West extensively to perform her songs and tell her stories and has been featured as an opening act for well known Western entertainers Ian Tyson, Baxter Black, and Don Edwards.

     The Sunset Network Information Services Western Music Number 1 rating for her newest release Astraddle A Saddle proves that Pattys recordings perform as well as she does.

     Patty has garnered nine nominations for Western Female Vocalist of the Year by the Academy of Western Artists, and the Western Music Association combined, as well a 2008 Album of the Year nomination for her release, Astraddle A Saddle.  The Academy of Western Artists named Patty the 2007 Western Female Vocalist of the Year presenting her with the Will Rogers Award. The Western Music Association also named her 2004 Female Performer of the Year, assuring her a spotlight amongst the Wests finest.
