The Music Fiesta will kick off at noon on the last Saturday of Balloon Fiesta, with band County Road 5, followed by a performance by band Sawyer Brown, known for their popular hits “Some Girls Do, “The Race Is On” and “Dirt Road.” David Nail, known for songs like “Red Light,” “Whatever She’s Got” and “Let It Rain” will then take the stage.
Last up is headliner Josh Turner, one of country music’s most recognizable faces with numerous CMA, ACM and Grammy Award nominations. He is well known for his hits including “Your Man,” “Would You Go With Me,” and “Why Don't We Just Dance.” His song, “All Over Me,” from Haywire also reached the top spot on the charts, making him one of only seven country artists to have two No. 1 hits in 2010.
