featuring Rock-N-Roll legends, 38 Special, and Grammy nominated Country-Rock-Pop artist, Elle King on September 16.
Rock-n-Roll legends, 38 SPECIAL, have created outstanding songs for over 40 years. They’ve released 15 albums, many

Grammy nominated singer, songwriter, ELLE KING, is best known for her gritty-bluesy country-rock style of music. Her
2015 hit “Ex’s & Oh’s” reached #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was quickly followed by another hit, “America’s
Sweetheart”. Collaborations with Dierks Bentley in 2016 and 2022, and also with Miranda Lambert, have put Elle King
on the country, pop, and rock music charts.
In addition to this outstanding musical line-up, this one-day festival will be announcing another artist later this Spring
to round out the mainstage entertainment. The event will also feature DJ Dougie, sponsored by Real Country 103.5
