PHOTOS/AUDIO: Patrick W. Stafford has no issues with standing on the top rungs of a Casper Fire Department ladder truck a few dozen feet above the earth or on a stage behind a six-string guitar playing a country song before a huge crowd.
The stage is exactly where Stafford and his band were in Kaycee, Wyoming, as they opened for Kyle Park and late country artist Chris LeDoux’s son, Ned, during Chris LeDoux Days, which was held June 14 - 15, 2024.
“As far as gigs in Wyoming go, it is kind of a big deal,” Stafford said. “They called me in January and asked if I would like to open up. I grew up listening to Chris LeDoux music and listening to songs on vinyl, like ‘The Yellow Stud.’”
Stafford and his band played 11 of his original songs during a 45-minute set.
