🤠 WEEK 5 = COUNTRY NIGHT at HEAR GRAND ISLAND 🤠

Our 5th night will be full of storytelling, hometown roots, and country music that was made to be played loud under the summer sky.

🎤 Opening the night…
A rising singer-songwriter from South Dakota who’s quickly making a name for himself in the country music scene. After turning heads at a Nashville showcase and landing a Top 2 finish at the Deadwood Songwriters Festival, his powerful voice and honest songwriting are proving he’s one to watch.

🎸 Up next…
A Nebraska-grown artist whose journey into music started with a Christmas guitar gift and a passion for storytelling. From small-town roots and family life to heartfelt originals inspired by real experiences, his music connects in the kind of way country music is supposed to!

🔥 Headlining the night…
A Nebraska Country Music Foundation Hall of Fame inductee from Superior, NE with deep country roots and a southern rock edge. Raised in a family of musicians and building his career from the ground up, this hometown favorite brings real-life stories, gritty originals, and the kind of energy that keeps crowds coming back year after year.
