It Must Be Christmas – An Acoustic Evening with Chris Young
Nearing 20 years in the country music spotlight, Chris Young has grown into the definition of a long-haul superstar–but the road remains open ahead. One of Billboard’s top country artists of the decade, the prolific hitmaker boasts 14 No. 1 singles and 9 Billion+ streams; an unbroken streak of success built on songs that balance country roots with a modern edge—and connect through real feeling. A member of the historic Grand Ole Opry, global arena headliner, and creative force of nature, the CMT Award winner and ACM, AMA, CMA and GRAMMY nominee has written and co-produced much of the work behind his 54 RIAA certifications, boasting a career which bridges multiple phases of country expression. But in joining Black River Entertainment as his new label home, the seasoned entertainer named “one of his era’s finest traditionalists” by the Associated Press feels refreshed, bringing his much-loved style into the future. His bold tenth album I Didn’t Come Here to Leave marks the start of a new chapter, as Young hits a new stride. The product of a two-year journey, 14 fresh songs including 11 co-writes kickoff the Tennessee native’s next act. Re-centering his foundation of timeless romance, while embracing the energy of his legendary live shows (and bringing his deep vocal rumble “back to my baritone roots”), the set represents the most complete cross-section of his creative vision–maybe ever–and the highest level of craftsmanship in Young’s remarkable career. Also co-producing alongside Andy Sheridan, the star’s keen country instincts take center stage as he ticks off multiple bucket-list boxes. Passionate attention to detail was poured over every syllable of every lyric, and with the old-school recording dynamic found only in a live studio band, the vivid result acts like Young’s career itself–a connecting point between the glory days of country’s past, and the exhilarating ecstasy of a new dawn. “It’s wild to step back and see a really long list of things I’ve gotten to do already. … But I didn’t come here to leave.” For more information and to catch a Chris Young show on the road, visit chrisyoungcountry.com and join @ChrisYoungMusic and his more than six million fans on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.

The Frontmen
They have 30 No. 1 hits, have sold 30 million albums and are the soundtrack to every Friday night honkytonk, first kiss and broken heart for the last 30 years. Fans sing the words to every song in every set – and while many people have yet to know their name, just about everybody can sing their songs. THE FRONTMEN – comprised of three former lead singers, Larry Stewart (Restless Heart), Richie McDonald (Lonestar) and Tim Rushlow (Little Texas) – is country music’s hottest new supergroup. The men have already mastered the stage, succeeded on radio and nightly take sold-out audiences on a rollercoaster of 90’s nostalgic smash hits then transcend their past hit parade with fresh new and original songs that are unmistakably THE FRONTMEN today! The group recently put their massive catalog of hits to work, including “The Bluest Eyes in Texas,” “Amazed” and “God Blessed Texas,” on tour with Alabama and kick-started the Harley-Davidson crowd in Deadwood, South Dakota, at the 81st Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. “The thing about the three of us is we are better together than each of us was by ourselves,” McDonald said. “The beauty of the show is that people can come and just sit there for two hours and go, ‘I sang along with every single song. I loved every one of them.’” “There is a common thread that runs through the songs we have all recorded over the years that just fits like a glove,” Rushlow added. “It is quite powerful and certainly is the soundtrack to all of our lives.” In 2023, THE FRONTMEN signed a major record deal with BBR Music Group / BMG Nashville. Stewart, McDonald and Rushlow, all major hit songwriters, released their debut album, THE FRONTMEN, in early 2024 with multi-genre musical heavyweight producer Mickey Jack Cones helming the project. The Frontmen’s debut self-titled album features nine original songs, as well as three Lonestar, Little Texas and Restless Heart No. 1 hits, re-recorded Frontmen-style. The trio tag team lead vocals throughout. With brand new fresh music and a combined massive catalog of hits, and THE FRONTMEN are off to the races… again!

Joe Nichols
In a genre that has occasionally drifted away from its three chords and the truth mission statement, Joe Nichols has never wavered. “I’m a singer of country songs,” he declares. “That’s what I do.” It’s that steadfast commitment to country music that’s made Joe one of Nashville’s most honest and versatile voices, regarded for his warm and distinctly country tone by everyone from Dolly Parton to Post Malone — he’s sung with both. On his new album Honky Tonks and Country Songs, Joe continues to connect country’s traditional past with its diverse present over 11 radio-ready tracks. The ability to connect with fans both on a record and on a stage is a rare gift, but Joe — like fellow dyed-in-the-wool trad-country vocalists George Strait, Parker McCollum, and Cody Johnson —made a career out of making it look easy. Since arriving on the scene as a teenager, he’s had a knack for finding and singing just the right song for the right moment. He did it with Number One hits “The Impossible,” “Gimmie That Girl” and “Brokenheartsville” (the latter of which he and Post Malone recently duetted live in Nashville), with the irreverent chart-topper “Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off,” and with the back-to-back Number Ones “Sunny and 75” and “Yeah.” He does it with cover songs too: His mashup of Hank Williams Jr.’s “A Country Boy Can Survive” and Alice in Chains’ “Rooster” is a fan favorite. It’s this same authentic connection that has earned Nichols over two billion audio streams to-date as well as three GRAMMY nominations, a CMA award, ACM and CMT Music Award trophies plus multiple gold and platinum-certified records. “There is a forgotten bunch of people that don’t like the noise of the world, and they prefer to do simple things, like shooting pool, dancing, or even just being a gentleman,” he says. “I love that there’s still a culture like that, where people go about their daily lives and aren’t interested in social media or the hot new spot downtown.” Honky Tonks and Country Songs is an album a lot like Joe himself: The country music is what you’ll notice immediately, but hang around a little and you’ll learn about the artist too. Like how he first had success while only in his 20s, why he’s fascinated by science and UFOs, and all he has yet ahead of him as an influential and current country singer. “My job is to make people feel good. And sometimes that means with fun and happy songs, and other times with sad and sorrowful truths. But the goal is always to make them feel good,” Joe says. “This album is meant to do exactly that. Everyone can find a good time in a honky-tonk and a country song.” HAPPY HOUR STARTS AT 5:00pm Crystal Grand Experience Ticket Includes:- Access to the Crystal Grand Experience Lounge open from 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm- Private performance before the show from local acoustic artist- Catered Appetizers- 2 Complimentary Drinks – Chances to win a meet and greet with headlining artist (If artist provides one) **Meet and Greets are not guaranteed**
Jackyl
On 8/11/92, Jackyl released their debut album. It was the middle of Grunge, but Jackyl’s loud, proud and unapologetic rock songs, produced by Brendan O’Brien (Stone Temple Pilots, AC/DC), earned the LP double-platinum status. On 8/11/22—30 years to the day of Jackyl’s debut—the lineup plays Sturgis, South Dakota’s Full Throttle Saloon, in a raucous celebration of the lineup’s 30th anniversary that also marks the debut of the quartet’s brand-new album, Jackyl 30 Coming In Hot and first single, “Get All Up In It.” Jackyl 30 Coming In Hot, which also includes the new tunes “Bad Decision” and “Another Round (Coming in Hot)” is only the latest highpoint of the Southern-bred band’s career. From the get-go, Jackyl were unafraid to stand up for free speech; their “I Stand Alone” video featured the band performing in front of a K-Mart as a protest for the store refusing to sell their album. Other bold moves? Dupree entered a Longhorn Steakhouse with a chainsaw to “surprise” a group of influential radio programmers. That generated a class-action lawsuit that reportedly cost the band more than $1 million.Hitting the road non-stop, Jackyl’s tour mates in those early days included Aerosmith, KISS, ZZ Top, Ted Nugent and Damn Yankees. One of the biggest audiences? Jackyl’s performance at Woodstock 94. The appearance made national news and featured on late night shows, including Late Night with David Letterman. The double-album Woodstock 94 went platinum and included “Headed For Destruction” (a track from Push Comes To Shove).A collection of B-sides titled Stayin’ Alive appeared on Shimmering Tone Records in ‘98, but the biggest highlight of the year was Geffen’s release of the best-of collection Choice Cuts and the related promotional events Jackyl did to promote it. Always reaching higher, in ‘98 Jackyl set not 1 but 2 Guinness World Records by playing 100 shows in 50 days…and 21 shows in 24 hours. The daytime sets were 45 minutes long; the evening gigs were between 90 and 120 minutes of rock mayhem.The band’s ‘02 Relentless LP contained the 2nd collaboration with Brian Johnson, the raucous rocker “Kill the Sunshine.” The following year, Universal Music/Geffen Records issued a Jackyl volume as part of its acclaimed “20th Century Masters – The Millennium Collection” best-of series. In ‘04, the long-awaited Live at the Full Throttle Saloon CD and DVD was released by Sanctuary Records. It was recorded and filmed in the summer of ‘03 in Sturgis, South Dakota, as part of the annual biker rally.It’s a festival close to the band’s heart, and from ‘09 – ‘15 Dupree became one of the lead characters of the hit reality TV show Full Throttle Saloon. That didn’t stop Jackyl from touring and recording, and in ‘10 the band released When Moonshine and Dynamite Collide, which featured DMC from Run-D.M.C.It’s been 3 decades since Jackyl shot out of Georgia spewing equal parts hard rock, heavy metal and Southern rock. They’ve never stopped touring or recording, and with 9.2 million views (and growing) of “Lumberjack Song” on YouTube, the quartet are earning rabid new fans daily. The August ‘22 release of Jackyl 30 Coming In Hot cements and furthers Jackyl’s no-holds-barred legacy. Or as Dupree, with his unquenchable energy, exclaims, “Thirty years on and we’re still celebrating the fundamentals of rock ‘n’ roll, so Get All Up In It!” HAPPY HOUR STARTS AT 5:30pm

David Nail
Hailing from Kennett, Missouri, David Nail is well-respected up and down Music Row. Some might even call him a “tour de force “as his songs pull no punches in evoking the demons with which he has wrestled through much of his life. The GRAMMY-nominated multi-platinum singer/songwriter’s early releases, I’m About To Come Alive, The Sound Of A Million Dreams, I’m A Fire and Fighter, ignited his reputation as an innovator and creative risk-taker yet left Nail feeling restless. This led to the departure of the only record company home he’d ever known, MCA Nashville, where he’d formed friendships that endure even now. Through dealing with his own journey of mental health and the feeling of needing to “rebel against what people expect you to be, ”Nail began making his most “organic” work to date, David Nail & The Well Ravens, with Jason Hall and Andrew Petroff. That project liberated Nail and propelled him into his next adventure. Writing solo for the next few months led to his debut solo independent EP Oh, Mother, a reflective piece of work. Of the title track, Rolling Stone noted that “the song creeps in like a sunrise—quiet, restrained cello and keys are the only underpinning for Nail’s powerful vocals at first. But then it slowly builds to something more massive and majestic.” That release was followed by Bootheel 2020 and Bootheel 2021, projects dedicated to the singer/songwriter’s hometown in the “bootheel” of Missouri. Nail released an EP titled Best of Mein 2023 and the title track has seen heavy press support and country radio airplay. 2024 brought more touring than ever, two great single releases “If I Could Call” and “Why” featuring Aubrie Sellers. Nail plans on releasing the start of an excitingly different and elevated album project this year leaving behind any self-imposed restrictions. In Nail’s own words, “My philosophy has always been, I just hope to have a good enough year that I can have a next year while staying as true to myself as I possibly can.” Find more at www.davidnail.com.
