Now The Outlaws return with new music, new focus and an uncompromising new mission: It's about a band of brothers bound together by history, harmony and the road. It's about a group that respects its own legacy while refusing to be defined by its past. But most of all, it’s about pride.

Toby Keith
Friday, July 20
Headliner
The Songwriters Hall of Fame inducted Toby Keith two years ago and the Academy of Country Music gave him the Poet's Award this year – exceedingly high songwriting honors amidst a career chock full of them. And with good reason. The list of writer-artists in any genre who have achieved or exceeded the collective airplay Keith has amassed is quite short. Artistic and commercial achievements aren't the reasons he writes, however. Neither are awards. No, songwriting isn't something Toby Keith does. Songwriting is who he is.

Jimmie Allen
Friday, July 20
Time TBA
For breakthrough country artist Jimmie Allen, a simple phrase sums up his view on life and music: Never give up.
A native of Southern Delaware ?€“ the ?€?slower, lower?€? part of the state, he explains ?€“ Allen has carried that mantra with him through good times and bad, whether than meant living in his car or rocking amphitheaters on Toby Keith?€™s Interstates & Tailgates Tour.
He?€™s poured out his soul at Music City?€™s famous Bluebird Cafe, wrote a song that was featured in a Super Bowl commercial, and appeared in a Diet Coke ad with superstar Taylor Swift.

Shane Owens
Saturday, July 21
Time TBA
The music business has knocked Shane Owens down, but this tough country boy is back on his feet with a triumphant debut album.

They?€™ve kinda gotten away from that. I?€™m country, and there ain?€™t no other way I can be. That?€™s just what I am and I think the traditional style is coming back around. At some point in time, this younger generation is going to start catching on. You can already see that they are. I see it at my shows.?€?

Gretchen Wilson
Saturday, July 21
Time TBA
To all appearances, Gretchen Wilson went overnight from talented obscurity to phenomenon. Her meteoric rise, the kind experienced by only a handful of artists in the past few decades, was that rare instance where talent and moment meet to form a cultural tidal wave. Still, she knows better than anyone the simple force that fueled it. "The reason I've been successful is that I've been genuine from the get-go," she says, "and I continue to try to do that. I'm an open book." It helps that the identity she wears so guilelessly is one that resonates strongly with fans of country and Southern rock--the independent, take-no-guff, hard-working and hard-partying country woman. Gretchen's ability to inhabit that persona publicly, as well as her flair for tailoring songs as gorgeously rough-edged as she is, have given her the kind of "I am what I sing" originality few women in country music history--Loretta, Tammy, Dolly and Tanya chief among them--have ever been able to achieve.
Kentucky Headhunters

And the deep and dark forest was a place on Richard and Fred Young's family farm. Together, with cousins Anthony Kenney and Greg Martin, armed with a pickup-truck load of amps, drums, and guitars, and a stack of American and English rock records, they set out to conquer the world by creating their own brand of rock and roll.

JON LANGSTON
Saturday, July 21
Time TBA
Georgia native, Jon Langston, has always had a love for music of all kinds, but has not always pursued a career in the music industry.

The band which included long time friend, Josh Manuel, who co-produced Langston?€™s first two EP?€™s back in 2013 at Century Studios in Atlanta. Manuel is currently the drummer for the band ?€?Issues.?€? Instead, Langston set his sights on playing football in high school and earned a Division I scholarship to play at Gardner-Webb University in North Carolina in 2009. It was his junior year of college when he picked the guitar up again. ?€?I suffered multiple concussions, and so the coaches, doctors and myself decided the best for my health was to hang up the pads,?€? Langston says. ?€?It was hard but I knew it was the right thing to do. I didn?€™t know what God had planned for my life at the time.?€? Langston began to learn how to play the guitar again and began to write his own songs and posting them on YouTube. ?€?It is crazy how God closes one door and opens another. I had no idea what was ahead of me with the whole music world.?€?
