AUGUST 18 SPECIAL GUESTS
BRENT MORRIS:
From the Black Hills of South Dakota there is no mistaking that deep baritone voice of Brent Morris. He’s a true throwback to the sound of the country legends. When Brent strikes the strings of that guitar and belts out a classic, you will find yourself on a journey to the nostalgic past. He's a country gentleman with a fierce love of true country music.

DION PRIDE:
Dion connects with crowds of all types, and works feverishly, through his performances, to win over crowds of all ages. Dion Pride is the son of legendary Country Music Hall of Famer, Charley Pride. Dion is also a songwriter and multi-talented Instrumentalist. He plays guitar, piano, drums and bass. At fourteen, he was performing. One of his songs titled “I Miss My Home” was recorded by his father and released on Charley Pride’s “Choices” album in 2011. With his impressive talent, honest heart and dedication, Dion Pride, is leaving his own mark on country music. His musical abilities appeared at an early age when he learned to plays guitar, piano, drums and bass and by fourteen, he was performing. But while touring with his father’s show, Dion began to incorporate some of his own material, the audiences were so responsive that Dion decided to strike out on his own and has not looked back.
