HEADLINER
Redferrin (8:30 PM)
Warner Music Nashville’s rising star, Redferrin, has quickly become one of country music’s most electrifying new voices. Much like the iconic Old No. 7 whiskey, crafted in Tennessee just like Redferrin, his music delivers a bold, but welcome, punch. Redferrin’s unique blend of country roots and hip-hop swagger is a fresh take on modern country, and with his new, highly anticipated, sophomore EP, Some City, Somewhere, he’s primed to make an even bigger impact.
Redferrin’s debut EP, Old No. 7 (which released February 16, 2024), featured seven songs, all co-written and co-produced by the Tennessee native. Old No. 7 proved to be massively successful, boasting over 275 million global streams, spawning viral hits such as “Just Like Johnny” and “Jack and Diet Coke,” both earning RIAA Gold certifications.
Named a 2024 Amazon Breakthrough Artist to Watch and part of the RIAA Class of 2024, Redferrin has already surpassed 400 million global streams, cementing his status as one of country music’s fastest-rising stars.
Jacob Stelly (Direct Support – 6:30 PM)
Jacob Stelly is a rising voice in the Texas, Americana, and Red Dirt music scenes, blending modern country drive with folk-rooted storytelling and infectious, sing-along melodies. Raised in Liberty, Texas, Stelly began writing and performing while attending Texas A&M University, earning a grassroots following across Texas and Oklahoma with his energetic live shows and relatable songwriting. His debut album and catalog of compelling originals have helped him carve out a distinct place in the contemporary country landscape, with live performances that swing from windows-down rockers to tender reflections, connecting with crowds through genuine presence and unforced charisma.
Baylor Rose (Support – 4:15 PM)
Baylor Rose is a high-energy country rock quintet rooted in the Wichita Falls music scene, blending modern Texas country with classic Southern rock. What sets them apart is a powerhouse vocal lineup — three lead singers trading rich harmonies and gritty hooks that bring every set to life. The group’s sound covers crowd favorites from Eagles and John Mellencamp to Brooks & Dunn, delivered with tight musicianship and authentic swagger. The band has quickly become a local favorite, earning headline slots at iconic venues like the Iron Horse Pub and sharing stages with top regional acts. With a repertoire built to move a crowd and original material in the works, Baylor Rose brings soulful vocals, serious groove, and unmistakable Texas flavor to every stage.
The Steward Family String Band (Opening Set – 2:30 PM)
Opening the show with lively, traditional acoustic string music, The Steward Family String Band brings old-time fiddle tunes, folk ballads, and roots-driven melodies to life with heart and precision. A true family ensemble led by Eb Steward alongside his children, the group showcases rich interplay on fiddle, guitar, and other traditional instruments with arrangements that bridge Celtic-tinged reels, classic American folk, and Texas-style string traditions. Known for performances at regional fiddle contests and community jam events — including appearances at the Athens Fiddle Contest and Bob Wills Fiddle Fest — they deliver an authentic, organic set that sets the perfect tone for the evening.
