FEATURING COUNTRY MUSIC LEGEND

Ronnie McDowell

7 PM START

From Ronnie's Website :

Ronnie McDowell has an amazing string of hit songs that he has amassed over the years, but it is his riveting stage presence and genuine warmth that fills the seats again and again. Like all great entertainers, Ronnie McDowell has a personality that remains luminous long after the lights go dim. These qualities have inspired a nationwide network of fan-clubs with thousands of members, each one a devoted promoter of everything McDowell does.

Following the death of Elvis Presley in 1977, Ronnie McDowell came out of nowhere to dazzle the world with his heartfelt and self-penned tribute song “The King Is Gone” on the independent Scorpion label. The record took off immediately, gaining airplay on country and pop stations across the country and around the world. To date, “The King Is Gone” has sold more than 5 Million copies.

All of a sudden, the young Vietnam Veteran from Portland, Tennessee was a star, and he quickly proved that he wasn’t just a one-trick pony. McDowell scored a second hit for the Scorpion label titled “I Love You, I Love You, I Love You” before being wooed and signed by CBS Records – Epic label in 1979.
Ronnie McDowell charted a string of hit singles and albums for Epic between 1979 and 1986. Every single release with the exception of just one became a Top 10 Hit including the chart toppers “Older Women” and “You’re Gonna Ruin My Bad Reputation.” Other hits during his Epic years included “Watchin Girls Go By,” “Personally,” “You Made A Wanted Man Of Me,” “All Tied Up,” and “In A New York Minute.”

McDowell toured constantly to support each album release and consequently built an astounding fan base throughout the country. He sought the advice of artists such as Conway Twitty who became, in essence, not only his mentor but his friend as well. Twitty helped the young singer with advise about touring, recording and most of all entertaining the fans. Twitty was certainly the master and Ronnie McDowell quickly became his prize pupil.

Nashville Performer & Recording Artist
Cliff Waddell & The Twang Gang

4 PM START

Cliff Waddell is a performing recording artist in Nashville, TN with residencies weekly on Lower Broadway at Layla’s Honky Tonk, The Local Nash, The Local Hendersonville, and Music City Bar and Grill in Music Valley. As the saying goes, you never know who’s in the audience, and this certainly came to light when Cliff was spotted by Willie Vanhook, accredited songwriter and fiddle player of 24 years with Mark Chesnutt’s New South band. Cliff soon began vocal demo sessions for Vanhook and that quickly led to something they’ve both been searching for for years—the right guy!

Cliff is currently writing his newest album with Vanhook, who is now managing and producing the project. They will be releasing their first EP in February of 2025, highlighting six originals plus a bonus track covering Gary Stewart’s classic country hit, "An Empty Glass," with a modern production in an effort to keep the classics alive and strong! The first release from the EP, "Drinking on an Empty Heart," written by Willie Vanhook and Kirk Roth, is continuously gaining traction and has placed him on FM country radio nationwide for the first time in his career. It has been dubbed a “career song” for him by industry professionals.

Cliff Waddell & The Twang Gang deliver an electrifying mix of country music, blending timeless classics with today’s hottest hits. With Cliff Waddell’s signature vocals and the band’s high-energy instrumentals, they bring an authentic Nashville sound to every stage. Whether you're a fan of boot-stomping honky-tonk, heartfelt ballads, or Southern rock-infused country, their dynamic performances captivate audiences of all ages. Known for their passionate storytelling and top-tier musicianship, Cliff Waddell & The Twang Gang guarantee an unforgettable live music experience you won’t want to miss!

"Looking forward to meeting and talking to everyone!"

Jeremy Joe Larsen

The average career for a professional rodeo bull rider is 5 years. I'm happy to announce that my good friend Jeremy Joe Larsen from the state of Wyoming will be crossing the country to be a special guest. Jeremy Joe at 5'7" 140 lbs competed in the PRCA and NPRA Rodeo circuit from 1994 to 2012, 18 years! Too many broken bones to recall and not to mention, the time a 2000 lb bull named U-Turn crushed him. He mentored the next generation of riders and judged rodeos for another 11 years for a total of 29 years.

His future came in writing music, a trip to Nashville got him signed with BMI. He wrote the song Heart Full Of Love dedicated to Robin Williams' family and was invited to perform in Hollywood. He wrote some of the music for the short film 'The Wooden Bowl' and recently finished his first album project.

He's looking forward to meeting and talking to everyone!
