Midland - Thursday, August 1
MidlandOfficial.com
Hailing from Dripping Springs, TX lead vocalist Mark Wystrach fronts Midland’s rich sound that is rounded out with lead guitarist Jess Carson and bass player Cameron Duddy. Rooted in tradition in both sound and style, the trio initially garnered attention playing clubs in the region.
Their critically-acclaimed freshman album, ON THE ROCKS (Big Machine Records), features 13 tracks with songwriting credits from each member alongside hit makers Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne. Launching to rave reviews from notable outlets such as the Los Angeles Times and Rolling Stone Country. ON THE ROCKS was declared “the year’s best Country album” by Washington Post.
The Dann-Huff produced album earned the No. 1 position on Billboard’s Top Country Album Sales chart upon release. Their debut No. 1 single “Drinkin’ Problem,” which offers an intentional nod to Country music reminiscent of the 1970s and 80s, earned the band their first GRAMMY® Awards nomination for Best Country Song and Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
Midland was also named New Vocal Group of the Year at the 2018 ACM Awards and their current single “Burn Out” is Top 15 at Country Radio. The band released a video for the song, which was inspired by the vintage style of Urban Cowboy and filmed at the legendary Billy Bob’s Honky Tonk in Fort Worth, TX. Midland is currently on the road headlining dates for the ELECTRIC RODEO TOUR.
Midland will perform for the Klamath County Fair, August 1, 2019 at 8:00 PM in the John Hancock Event Center. Party Zone Tickets are $30.00 Pre-Sale and General Admission Bleacher Seating are $10.00. Pre-Sale tickets include admission into the Fair. Tickets go up $5.00 if purchased at the event and will not include Fair Admission.
Jon Wolfe - Friday, August 2
JohnWolfeOfCountry.com
Who is Jon Wolfe? The best introduction to Jon Wolfe is the basic, yet not so simple fact that he is a country singer and songwriter. Country music, as it was, is and always should be, with boots firmly standing on the bedrock of tradition and an eye focused on taking it into the future.
In addition, that, as any fan of true country knows no simple proposition. “At heart, it’s all about being a great singer and storyteller.”
It’s world class country music from the American heartland, informed by the great singers that inspired Wolfe – like George Strait, Garth Brooks (a fellow Okie), Clint Black, Merle Haggard, Alan Jackson and Dwight Yoakam, to name a few – yet fired by his own contemporary energy and vision.
Wolf’s music has been burning up the Texas Charts where he garnered six consecutive Top Ten singles (“Let A Country Boy Love You,” “That Girl in Texas,” “I Don’t Dance,” “It All Happened In A Honky Tonk,” “The Only Time You Call,” and “What Are You Doin’ Right Now”), making Wolfe a “must see” act.

For more than 20 years this group has logged countless miles touring throughout the world; released several Platinum-selling albums and ten No. 1 singles; earned ACM and CMA awards and inspired rave reviews as far away as London - where The Guardian proclaimed them exemplars of “country’s greatest strength: picture-painting, story-based, tear-your-heart-out lyrics that are the most direct and lucid in popular music.”

The award winning group is comprised of Richie McDonald on lead vocals, Michael Britt on lead guitar & backing vocals, Keech Rainwater playing the drums, and Dean Sams on the keys & backing vocals.
Lonestar has amassed RIAA-certified sales in excess of ten million album units since their national launch in 1995, and achieved ten #1 country hits including "No News," "Come Crying To Me," and their crossover smash "Amazed"
Amazed was as also #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the first record since 1983's "Islands in the Stream", to top both charts.
The band's awards include a 1999 American County Music (ACM), Single of The Year and Song of the Year for "Amazed," and the 2001 Country Music Association (CMA) Vocal Group of the Year.
