7:30 PM - Red Steagall

The entertainment career of Red Steagall has covered a period of 35 years and has spanned the globe from Australia to the Middle East, to South America and to the Far East.

As a native Texan, Red Steagall enjoyed a career in Agricultural Chemistry after graduating from West Texas State University with a degree in Animal Science and Agronomy. He then spent eight years as a music industry executive in Hollywood, California and has spent the last thirty years as a recording artist, songwriter, and television and motion picture personality.

Red Steagall is best known for his wonderful Texas Swing dance music and such songs as "Here We Go Again", "Party Dolls and Wine", "Freckles Brown", and "Lone Star Beer and Bob Wills Music".

Red will be joined on stage by Danny Steagall, Rich O'Brien, Greg Hardy, Floyd Domino, Ron Ellis, Richard Helsley, Bobby Flores, Jim Losberg, Del Pushert, and Mike Bennett.

8:00 PM - Johnny Bush & Bandoleros

If Johnny Bush had done nothing but write and/or sing honky-tonk standards like "Undo the Right," "Whiskey River," and "There Stands the Glass," Johnny Bush's place in the country music pantheon would be secure.

Inducted into the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame in 2003 by his longtime friend Willie Nelson, Bush played drums with Ray Price's Cherokee Cowboys and Willie 's early group, The Record Men, before stepping out as a singer.

He is regarded by loyal fans and a new generation of honky-tonk traditionalists as one of the finest country voices ever to come out of Texas, a worthy heir to Price’s smooth singing style and Nelson’s story-telling songwriting. Johnny will be joined on stage with his regular band the Bandolerlos.
 

9:30 PM - Tribute to Cindy Walker, Leon Rausch, Tommy Allsup and the Texas Playboys

Country music singer Lynn Anderson has been a consistent hit maker and one of country music's leading ladies throughout the 1970s. Her signature tune, "(I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden", topped the country and pop charts around the world in 1970, becoming one of the biggest selling records in country music history. Her sophisticated image and sound have helped her to become one of the first female country artists to achieve mass crossover appeal. Billboard currently ranks Lynn Anderson among the top ten most successful female country artists for all-time record sales.

She has sung for five U.S. Presidents and the Queen of England, has been featured on numerous TV shows, acted in a Movie of the Week, hosted her own CBS TV special and the American Rose Society created a hybrid tea rose (cream edged in pink) and named it The Lynn Anderson Rose.

An accomplished horsewoman, Anderson has won 16 National Championships, eight World Championships and several celebrity titles in cutting horse competitions and works extensively with Special Riders of Animaland, a horseback riding therapy program for children.
