<h3>Headliner - Ned LeDoux</h3>Ned LeDoux, the singer-songwriter and son of country legend Chris LeDoux, has built a career honoring his forebears while still forging his own path. LeDoux, who has been releasing solo music since 2017 but has been a touring musician since his teenage years, has infused all of his records with realistic stories of life as a cowboy, his relationship with music royalty, and the pain and joy that infuses his work. His first record, Sagebrush, features rock-tinged country jams, built around LeDoux’s approachable delivery and inimitable ability to turn a memorable phrase. Next in Line, released in 2019, proved its title prophetic, introducing LeDoux to a wider audience than ever before. With 2022’s sterling Buckskin, he introduced the renegade spirit of 70s outlaw country into his sound, cooking up simmering jams indebted to his experiences as a ranch hand.On his latest album, touchingly titled Safe Haven after the tragic loss of his daughter, he uses the memories of those he has lost to help him carry on with joy, celebration, and a faith that they are guiding his work. There’s a tribute to his late father in the form of “One Hand in the Riggin’, which magically features Ned singing along with a vocal performance his dad tracked 20 years ago. Safe Haven is far and away the artistic statements LeDoux has always wanted to make. “My songwriting maturity is more confident than it’s ever been before,” he explains before adding that his fans will still recognize some of his signature style. “There's also some stuff on here that relates very well with what I've done already, because it’s familiar and comfortable.” Safe Haven is an intoxicating blend of risk-taking, bold songwriting, and songs that find LeDoux in his familiar, comfortable territory. Both sides of the coin are equally worthy pursuits, one a reminder of where he’s been, and one an assurance that the path forward is still worth exploring.Get more info by <a href="https://nedledoux.com/" title="https://nedledoux.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">visiting Ned LeDoux's website</a>!

<h3>Opener - Kurt Van Meter</h3>Kurt Van Meter, a true embodiment of American folklore, has shared the stage with country legends like Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton, and Eric Church, and now steps into his own spotlight with the new EP Echoes of the Outlaws. From his roots riding shotgun in his dad’s truck in Southern Oregon to a life that’s included college football, law enforcement, bull riding, and field work soundtracked by the likes of Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings, Kurt doesn’t just sing about country—he lives it. His music blends classic outlaw grit with a modern edge, drawing on influences from the Eagles to Hank and the Stones, all while celebrating love of God, family, and country. Raw, real, and unapologetic, Kurt’s sound carries a swagger that’s both timeless and fresh, resonating across generations. As he tours nationwide in support of Echoes of the Outlaws, Kurt invites fans to join the ride and be part of a new chapter in country music history.Get more info about Kurt Van Meter by <a href="https://www.kurtvanmeter.com/" title="https://www.kurtvanmeter.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">visiting his website</a>!
