Collin Raye has had five platinum albums, 15 #1 hits and 24 top-ten hits in his illustrious career. The five-time Country Music Male Vocalist of the year nominee has added new genres to his recordings and shows. The musical tenor shot to fame in 1991 with "Love, Me". Listeners were so touched that they used its lyrics at funerals and memorial services. In 1998, Raye's "The Gift" was named Country Recorded Song of the Year.

Raye is known for his meaningful songs. "Little Rock" was an anthem for the recovery community. "Not That Different" pleaded for tolerance. "In This Life" became a wedding favorite. Raye's last compilation was 2007's Selected Hits which featured "A Soldier's Prayer" and "Quitters."

Crystal Gayle is the blue eyed beauty from the Appalachian coal mining town of Paintsville, Kentucky who took country music to town on her arm in the ‘70's and introduced it to mainstream audiences.

Gayle's accolades include the CMA's "Female Vocalist of the Year," for two consecutive years, she became a Grammy Award Winner for "Best Female Vocal Performance," thanks to her beloved "Brown Eyes" - a song that she today admits she has never grown tired of singing. Crystal swept the Academy Of Country Music Awards for three of their "Top Female Vocalist" statuettes. As her music and her career path widened to mainstream audiences, so did her accolades. She is the recipient of three "American Music Awards," voted by the nation as America's "Favorite Female Artist."

Brynn Marie has had the privilege of working with renowned artists such as Loretta Lynn, Phil Vasser, Josh Gracin, Joe Nichols, Terri Clark, and Darryl Worley to name a few. Brynn Marie's second EP "Start Now" is available at CD Baby and itunes. Brynn will be embarking on a radio tour all summer in conjunction with her regular schedule. Most recently, Brynn Marie was one call-back away from this season's "Nashville Star." Brynn Marie is truly a rising star in the world of country music!

Gates will open at 5:00 p.m. July 19th at Harry Grove Stadium for the concert event. The above ticket price includes a $2.00 facility fee. The event will go on rain or shine. No cameras, video or audio equipment will be allowed.
