The Kentucky native has won over critics, delivering “an ode to blue-collar workers that exposes the heart-aching realities of the working class,” (Billboard) as the project “further cements Shane as a new voice of the damaged, addicted, and lost in country music,” (Rolling Stone). It was another shared life experience that earned Shane his Platinum-certified Number One debut, “My Boy.” The tender tribute to the unconditional love of stepparents took Shane from a country road to the top of the charts, touring the country’s biggest stages as well as overseas and racked up over 400 million streams and counting. The track helped launch Shane’s debut album BACKSLIDER, which was hailed by critics from Billboard and Rolling Stone to the Nashville Scene and beyond, earning spots on many “Best Of” lists alongside new artist nominations from the ACM Awards, CMT Music Awards and iHeartRadio Music Awards.

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 as “Just Like Johnny” and “Jack and Diet Coke,” both of which have earned RIAA GOLD certifications, amassing 167M and 121M global streams respectively, and landing a coveted spot on Spotify’s Viral 50 (US) chart. To top it off, fellow Tennessee native Juicy J gave “Jack and Diet Coke” a hip-hop remix that took the already hit song in a bold new direction. On the heels of his debut EP, and ahead of the new music coming on Some City, Somewhere, Redferrin took his style of music to the fans. In 2024, Redferrin SOLD OUT nearly 30 of his 44 headlining shows, played 22 festivals including the UK’s Country-2-Country, Barefoot Country Music Festival, CMA Music Fest, Tailgates and Tallboys, Cavendish Beach Music Fest, Boots in the Park, and Boots and Hearts Festival to name a few. He shared the stage with legends like Niko Moon, Billy Currington, and Russell Dickerson, and in August 2024, he took his talent overseas with a UK tour, hitting cities like Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol, and London.
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. In addition to his own songs, Redferrin’s songwriting credits can be found among other hit-making artists such as Florida Georgia Line’s “Lil Bit” featuring Nelly, “New Truck,” and Dean Brody & The Reklaws’ massive hit “Can’t Help Myself.” Originally from White House, Tennessee, Redferrin’s journey to country music stardom started on the national Arenacross circuit before his passion for songwriting led him to Nashville. With Some City, Somewhere on the horizon, it’s clear that Redferrin’s story is just beginning, and the best is yet to come.
We offer free daily entrance to Kickstands Bar and Grill/Venue area daily before 7 PM.

38 Special – Monday Aug. 10, 2026
Concerts
50 years together. 20 million albums sold. More than 15 albums of guitar-driven southern rock, stacked high with hits like “Hold On Loosely,” “Caught Up In You,” “If I’d Been The One,” “Back Where You Belong,” and “Second Chance.” 38 Special is proof that there’s strength in numbers. Formed in 1974 in Jacksonville, Florida by frontman Don Barnes and co-founder Donnie Van Zant, the band toured relentlessly from the start, sharpening the explosive live show that’s been their calling card for a half-century.

50 years together. 20 million albums sold. More than 15 albums of guitar-driven southern rock, stacked high with hits like “Hold On Loosely,” “Caught Up In You,” “If I’d Been The One,” “Back Where You Belong,” and “Second Chance.” 38 Special is proof that there’s strength in numbers.
Formed in 1974 in Jacksonville, Florida by frontman Don Barnes and co-founder Donnie Van Zant, the band toured relentlessly from the start, sharpening the explosive live show that’s been their calling card for a half-century. Their blend of muscle and melody — those arena-rock hooks — became staples of FM radio, and five decades later they’re still hitting 100 cities a year and leaving crowds breathless.
As the band enters its sixth decade, the music continues with Milestone — their first studio album in more than 20 years. Recorded live-in-the-studio between tour dates, it reunites Barnes with longtime collaborator Jim Peterik (co-writer of “Hold On Loosely” and “Caught Up In You”) and features guests including Train’s Pat Monahan and Randy Bachman of The Guess Who and Bachman Turner Overdrive. As Barnes puts it: “We don’t slack up, we stack up.”
Today’s lineup — Don Barnes, lead guitarist Jerry Riggs, drummer Gary Moffatt, keyboardist Bobby Capps, and bassist Barry Dunaway — brings the same high-energy party that built the band’s legend. After 50 years of hits, highways, and battle-tested brotherhood, the ride isn’t over.

QUIET RIOT is a rock & roll phenomenon.

QUIET RIOT is a rock & roll phenomenon. Famously described as the first heavy metal band to top the pop chart at #1 on Billboard magazine, the Los Angeles quartet became an overnight sensation thanks to their monster 1983 smash album "Metal Health".
QUIET RIOT first signed a record deal with Pasha records in the dawn of the 80's at a time when radio was dominated by the "new wave" sound. Their hard driving pop metal sound was deemed "out" by record labels so the debut album "Metal Health" was against the grain. Driven by the irresistible double whammy of the rendition of the old Slade chestnut "Cum on Feel the Noize," and their original song "Metal Health" (Bang your head) the album stormed up the U.S. charts, duly reaching the number one spot and going platinum five times over in the process. Against all odds it jumped over Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and "Synchronicity" by The Police to land in the number one slot on the Billboard album chart.
This opened the door for the other Sunset Strip "Hair Metal" bands to get their record deals and kicked off the craze that dominated MTV and radio in the 80's.
The sales of the "Metal Health" album have now well exceeded the 10 million mark worldwide. Quiet Riot went on to have other hits and over a dozen albums and still plays live with a line up consisting of Rudy Sarzo, Alex Grossi, Jizzy Pearl and Johnny Kelly.
- Over 15 Million Records Sold Worldwide
- METAL HEALTH - The First Heavy Metal Album in History to go to NUMBER 1 on the BILLBOARD TOP 200 Chart
- Over 2.8 Million Monthly SPOTIFY Listeners
- Over One Million Social Media Followers
- The Critically Acclaimed QUIET RIOT Documentary "Well Now You're Here, There's No Way Back" recommended by ROLLING STONE and spent 2 years in rotation on SHOWTIME

Critically acclaimed groundbreaker, songwriter and superstar Miranda Lambert has defined her multifaceted career as an artist, entertainer, entrepreneur, advocate and businesswoman with an unflinching quest for excellence, honesty and conviction.
Her GRAMMY-nominated single “A Song To Sing” with Chris Stapleton arrived recently as the biggest streaming debut of her career, with Rolling Stone praising its “dreamy disco groove and lovestruck devotion.” Her 10th solo studio album, 2024’s GRAMMY-nominated Postcards from Texas, continued her unbroken streak of 10 consecutive Top 10s on the Top Country Albums chart.
The most-awarded artist in Academy of Country Music history — including their top honor for Entertainer of the Year — she has also won three GRAMMYs and 14 Country Music Association Awards. A TIME100 honoree and perennial best-of-the-year list maker at the New York Times, TIME, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum, People and more, NPR has called her “the most riveting country star of her generation.”
Lambert has carried those standards into business, teaming with longtime collaborator Jon Randall to launch their own imprint, Big Loud Texas, in partnership with Big Loud Records. She is also a New York Times bestselling author and the first female restaurateur on Lower Broadway with her Tex-Mex cantina Casa Rosa, while expanding her creative reach with her Wanda June Home collection and Idyllwind, her western clothing, accessories and footwear brand at Boot Barn. Her passion for animals inspired the creation of MuttNation Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit that has raised over $13 million since inception to promote shelter pet adoption, support rescue organizations nationwide, advance spay & neuter efforts, and help shelters recover from natural disaster.

Stephenson had been a solo rock singer, while both he and Robbins had success as songwriters for acts such as Restless Heart. Stephenson left shortly before his death from melanoma in 2001 and was replaced by Threet, then Anthony Crawford and Michael Randall; Threet has remained in the touring band. Robbins was replaced with Jon Coleman in 2008 before rejoining in 2010. When Paul re-established Outlaws in 2005, he began performing simultaneously in both Blackhawk and Outlaws, and the two bands' memberships converged.
Blackhawk signed to Arista Nashville in 1993 and released their self-titled debut album in 1994. The project certified double-platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). They also released Strong Enough (1995), Love & Gravity (1997), The Sky's the Limit (1998), and Greatest Hits before leaving Arista in 2001. Their last major-label album was 2002's Spirit Dancer on Columbia Records; subsequent releases have been independent. Their albums accounted for several singles on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now called Hot Country Songs) charts, including top-ten hits "Every Once in a While", "I Sure Can Smell the Rain", "Down in Flames", "That's Just About Right", "I'm Not Strong Enough to Say No", "Like There Ain't No Yesterday", and "There You Have It" between 1994 and 1999. Blackhawk's music combines influences of Southern rock with country. Characteristics of their sound include Paul's distinctive singing voice, prominent vocal harmony, and use of mandolin.

Concerts
Iconic entertainer, Sammy Kershaw, has amassed three platinum and six gold albums that have scanned and streamed in excess of 5 million records and nearly 100 million combined songs sold. Often referred to as the “heir apparent” to legendary ‘voice’ George Jones, the GRAMMY nominated performer helped shape and make the ‘90s a shining decade for country music. His multi-platinum albums were propelled into the record books by hits such as “She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful,” “Queen of My Doublewide Trailer”, “I Can’t Reach Her Anymore,” “National Working Woman’s Holiday,” “Love Of My Life,” “Cadillac Style,” “Don’t Go Near…
Iconic entertainer, Sammy Kershaw, has amassed three platinum and six gold albums that have scanned and streamed in excess of 5 million records and nearly 100 million combined songs sold. Often referred to as the “heir apparent” to legendary ‘voice’ George Jones, the GRAMMY nominated performer helped shape and make the ‘90s a shining decade for country music. His multi-platinum albums were propelled into the record books by hits such as “She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful,” “Queen of My Doublewide Trailer”, “I Can’t Reach Her Anymore,” “National Working Woman’s Holiday,” “Love Of My Life,” “Cadillac Style,” “Don’t Go Near The Water,” “Haunted Heart”, “Vidalia” and many other milestones. Growing up in Kaplan, Louisiana, Kershaw was enthralled with the masters at an early age – names like Conway Twitty, Mel Street, and George Jones. In fact, as a teenager, Kershaw had developed such a reputation for his vocals – even then – that he was often called upon to open for those acts, and others like them. Jones was so impressed with Sammy that he frequently invited him to perform on his shows whenever he was playing in the region.
From the time that he released his debut single for Mercury Records, “Cadillac Style,” critics and fans all made the comparison to George. Rather than run from them, Kershaw embraced them. After all, that stone Country sound was what Sammy Kershaw was all about – and that’s what he was going to give his fans! “Cadillac Style” made it up the Billboard charts and, from there (to quote Jones), the race was on! Follow-ups such as “Don’t Go Near the Water” and “I Can’t Reach Her Anymore” established him as one of the finest traditional artists of his time, while records like “Yard Sale” showed that haunting Jones influence was very much a part of everything he is about. In 1993, Sammy Kershaw topped the singles chart with “She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful,” which has become one of the most-played records at Country Radio over the past three decades. Albums such as Don’t Go Near the Water and Haunted Heart were both certified as million-sellers by the RIAA, and only continued to add to his stature. The hits kept coming on the airwaves, as well. He added to his resume such classics as “I Can’t Reach Her Anymore,” “Meant to Be,” his cover of The Amazing Rhythm Aces’ “Third Rate Romance,” and 1998’s “Love of My Life,” which cemented his reputation as a balladeer.
Kershaw’s chain of major hit records continues to sell-out shows and can be found touring on the road – both on his own as well as part of his successful Roots & Boots Tour with Collin Raye and Aaron Tippin. The three continue to bring their signature sounds to the fans year-after-year all over North America.
In addition to performing to sell-out audiences, Sammy Kershaw continues to record and release new music with three albums currently in the works, along with putting the finishing touches on his long-awaited autobiography – which promises to be as juicy as a bowl of the gumbo he loves to prepare in his Louisiana home!
The past has been a great, long-winding road of highs and lows for the legendary Sammy Kershaw, but to quote one of his past singles, the goal isn’t to rest on those accomplishments, but to be “Better Than I Used to Be.”
