HI EVERYBODY... Thanks for

A Biography
Cowboy Balladeer Tom Hiatt can truly be called a "Son of the West,"
because at one time or another, Texas, California, Alaska, Kansas, and Arizona,
have all been called "Home." The magnificent landscapes and the people
who settled them fill the stories in the ballads Tom writes and sings: tales of
cowboys, outlaws, lawmen, pioneers, wild broncos, and more.
Tom's warm, emotion filled voice has enthralled people
from Montana to Arizona, from the Rockies to the Smokies, and all areas in
between. He has appeared with other popular cowboy singers and poets such as Ian
Tyson, Chris LeDoux, Waddie Mitchell, The Sons of the San Joaquin, Wally McCrae,
and Don Edwards, at many venues throughout the country.
The Sons of the San Joaquin,
Waddie Mitchell, Tom, and Don Edwards
His engagements have included TV and radio programs, rodeos, schools,
universities, museums, dinner theaters, and guest ranches. He has been
interviewed on the NBC Nightly News and has also sung the National Anthem at a
Major League Baseball game. During the past 15 years, Tom, along with his band, THE
SUNDOWN RIDERS, has performed for thousands of guests at
"Rawhide," Arizona's famous western theme park.

Tom Hiatt and The Sundown Riders
Headlining at The Autry National Center "Christmas Concert"
December 2008
Tom's repertoire includes traditional and contemporary western classics that are
always a "hit" with audiences from all walks of life. They especially
enjoy Tom's original ballads that have been inspired by his own cowboying
experiences, as well as those of other cowboys he has been proud to call his
friends through the years.
So, in the words of one of Tom's songs...
Grab your
hat and saddle your horse
Let the show begin
Let's put those "Rough Ridin' Cowboy Heroes"
Back in the saddle again!
Tom on Teddy, Cuyamaca Rancho State Park,
California
"Tom Hiatt's cowboy music is
true and honest. He is not only a great entertainer,
he is a cowboy and a gentlemen. Tom always draws huge crowds and captivates the
audiences."
Miss Kitty, The Cowboy Corral Sedona, Arizona
"It was such a pleasure working
with you at the 'Warm Up to the Valley of the Sun'
event in Chicago. The audience loved your stage presence and your western
songs.
You have a voice that can capture an audience!"
Laurel Pendle, Tourism Sales Manager Scottsdale, Arizona
"An energetic, enthusiastic,
cowboy singer .... faces light up......"
Marvin O'Dell, "Around the Campfire" Heartland

"What a fantastic entertainer!
After that response, it's obvious we're now going to have to
make him a permanent fixture at every one of these 4th of July events!"
