Kicking off the Fair on Friday, October 21st is the always popular Aaron Watson. For over 20 years now, Aaron Watson has traveled the land as country’s ultimate underdog troubadour. Working without corporate backers, he has nonetheless reached the Top 10 of Billboard’s Country Album chart five separate times –an impressive feat by any standard – and that includes his triumphant 2015 set, The Underdog, which landed at number one. Matching sold-out shows across the country with homegrown hits, he’s followed suit at country radio, making history in 2017 with “Outta Style” and “Run Wild Horses.” But despite the success, the Texas native remains a fighter, punching far above his weight, constantly defending his right to be in the ring. With his new album, Unwanted Man, he reminds all who care to listen that it’s just fine by him.
Saturday, October 22nd is the exciting classic country addition to the Fair’s line up, Mark Chesnutt. Mark Chesnutt is one of country’s true musical treasures.

Mark Chesnutt’s stature is easily gauged. He has 14 No. 1 hits, 23 top-ten singles, four platinum albums and five gold records to his credit. Mark Chesnutt has a knack for picking great songs, delivering them with world-class style and a heart-felt emotion.
