Two days of country music stars are featured at the Last Best Country Fest. The festival runs July 10-11, under the big sky, at South Park, in downtown Billings.
Kick back with friends and family for a rollicking summer weekend of country music – modern, traditional, and alternative. The music is brought to you by the creators of Magic City Blues. Last Best Country Fest offers all the rural charm of the country in a convenient urban setting. Hotels, restaurants, and shopping all await downtown, just up the street from the festival in South Park.
The music starts at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, July 10, with the fetching sisters, Kendra and Krista of Tigrlily. The pair have crafted a remarkable sound, appealing to pop, folk and country audiences alike. Next up are The Road Hammers, a hard driving Canadian country group who have 60’s and 70’s trucker music and southern rock as their influences. Thompson Square takes the stage next. Husband and wife, Keifer and Shawna Thompson, winners of the 2012 and 2013 ACM “Vocal Duo of The Year” awards are sure to be a crowd favorite. The evening headliners, Big and Rich, stalwarts of country music for years, bring their big, rich sound to the South Park stage.
The music continues at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 11, with Luke Bell. The Wyoming based country singer has rock, blues, and bluegrass roots. Sunny Sweeney follows. Her voice has the sound of Texas honky-tonk that reaches straight for the hard stuff. Kevin Fowler brings his music after Sweeney. The Texas based singer/songwriter recently released his well received “How Country Are Ya?” studio album reflecting his return to country music basics. The legend, Hank Williams, Jr., concludes the Last Best Country Fest. His hard charging country sound and his showmanship are unmatched and provide a fitting end to this great festival.
