Brittney Spencer (Headliner) - Brittney Spencer is paving her own path in the country music genre and making major waves in the process. A PEOPLE Magazine "One to Watch", the Baltimore native is known for her free spirit and standout ability to mold life, truth and wild imagination into songs. She's performed her recent single “Sober & Skinny” on NBC's TODAY Show and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s #LateShowMeMusic (CBS). The song has garnered praise from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, and more, as well as an in-depth interview with CBS Mornings’ Anthony Mason. Spencer has grown a robust fan base on the road. She recently headlined BottleRock as a member of The Highwomen, has performed with Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit and Reba McEntire, and she's opening for Willie Nelson, Megan Thee Stallion, Maren Morris, Brandi Carlile and more in 2022.



Whalen and the Willows (Opening Act) - Whalen and the Willows are an Alternative Country band out of Austin, Minnesota. From dark and brooding to comforting and hopeful Whalen and the Willows create a theatrical landscape that will take you away. Their first full length record Peaceful released January 2020. Peaceful has been given tremendous praise from WATW fans. The record has received exposure from Mark Wheat of The Current, KFAI Minneapolis, and Jearlyn Steele of WCCO. With a focus on lyrics Joshua writes tales pulled from life experience and observation. Pain, suffering, hope, and love are common motives looking to strike an authentic balance of the struggles and joys of life. The band uses melody, rhythm, and harmony to conjure an experience that is truly greater than the sum of its parts. Whalen and the Willows are a master class on soul and authenticity
