Birthday Bash Line Up & Schedule
We are one week out and the line up is almost set. There are invitations to Tootsie's and Cole's friends still out there, but we are very excited to announce more of the artists set to perform at this year's Birthday Bash. Trick Pony. Heidi Newfield, Keith Burns are Birthday Bash veterans that bring great energy to the party….and maybe a harmonica. We are glad to have Trick Pony back this year. Billy Ray Cyrus. Billy Ray made his Birthday Bash debut last year as a surprise guest. Since then, BRC performed on Tootsie's 3rd floor with the Stanley Cup and last Friday night at his daughter, Miley's album release party. Billy Ray isn't just dropping by this year. He is bringing his band and sticking around a while. And is bringing a friend…Derek Jones. Unannounced guests? Always. It is a birthday party, so you have to have a surprise. "You never know who is going to show", isn't a slogan. It's a fact. We haven't had a year without at least one (usually 3) surprise guest at the Birthday Bash. Already announced artists….Jon Langston, Halfway to Hazard, Darryl Worley, Tim Watson, Scott Collier, Anthony Orio, John Stone, Terri Clark, Cole Swindell and friendsBirthday Bash Schedule……..11a gates open11:30 music starts2:30-3:30 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest3:50-4:50-Predators walk4:50-Show opens, music starts
