Larry Fleet: Another Year Older Tour with Dasher
LARRY FLEET Tennessee-born troubadour Larry Fleet grew up on a stack of records spanning Merle Haggard, Otis Redding, Willie Nelson, and Marvin Gaye. A thoughtful songwriter with a knack for a one-liner, an ear for a sturdy hook, and a powerhouse voice that strikes like a match, Fleet was working blue-collar jobs to make ends meet long before landing his recording contract with Big Loud Records. Seven years later and again working as an independent artist, the devout family man is turning heads among fans and critics as a songwriter (“Man Made A Bar” recorded by Morgan Wallen featuring Eric Church) alongside his own music, 2021’s tribute to the music that raised him, “Stack of Records”, his aptly titled 2019 debut “Workin’ Hard”, 2023’s “Earned It” featuring the single “Things I Take For Granted,” and his first latest, 2025’s independently-released “Hard Work & Holy Water.” Saving Country Music puts it simply: “If you’re looking for the future of traditional country music, then look no further.” DASHER Meet DASHER, a brother/sister duo, comprised of Max and Laela Dasher who make their home in the heart of Appalachia, Black Mountain, North Carolina. But before there was Appalachia, there was Northeast Louisiana. Max and Laela’s childhood was filled with screened-in-porch summer nights, where bluegrass ballads met the sweltering heat of the bayou. At a young age, Max and Laela learned perhaps the most important skill that any band can learn- they learned to blend. Blend their instruments, blend their harmonies, and blend their stories. This skill was perhaps perfected within the walls of an old church, where acapella worship was the only way to worship. And voices were the only instrument needed. It was here that they discovered how truly beautiful and haunting that a harmony can be. Fast forward to their high school years, where the Dasher family uprooted to the Blue Ridge mountains, known for being the epicenter of Folk and Americana music. It was on these cool mountain evenings where their passion for blending the storytelling traditions of Appalachian folklore with the soul-stirring narratives of their Louisiana heritage was ignited. DASHER weaves together the intricate threads of creating a sound that is both hauntingly familiar and refreshingly unique. DASHER is nostalgia. Every lyric has a story attached to it. Every instrument is a tribute to a place. When you hear the desperate whine of the fiddle, we hope you are taken somewhere warm. When the gentle plucking of the guitar begins, we hope you smell your grandma’s cooking. When the chords of the piano strike, we hope you are transported back to that little white church that you first found God. One thing is certain: when you listen to DASHER, you’re not just hearing music—you’re coming home.
John Conlee
John Conlee’s hits have rarely been songs that see life through the hard-fact-hiding “Rose Colored Glasses” described in his first smash record of 1978. Through all the years since, his emphasis has been on songs of the lives of everyday people — middle class, hardworking people, and those who’ve been unable to attain even that level of economic ease. He made a fresh hit again of “Busted,” when country fans might have thought Ray Charles and Johnny Cash had enjoyed the last word on that one. He had us nodding in agreement to the tough realities of “Nothing Behind You, Nothing in Sight.” “There are more of us ordinary folks than anybody else,” says the big-voiced baritone whose hits also include “Common Man,” “Working Man,” and “Friday Night Blues.” When John Conlee looks at love, the view includes Harlan Howard and Bobby Braddock’s searing “I Don’t Remember Loving You” — and he has no trouble singing about being on the “Backside of Thirty.” No-nonsense John grew up on a 250-acre Kentucky farm where he raised hogs, cultivated tobacco with mules, and mowed pastures. He also worked as a funeral home attendant and mortician, and as a pop music disc jockey in Nashville before settling into a career in country music during the mid-1970s. It’s typical of John that he used the returns from that long string of No. 1 hits (four in 1983 and 1984 alone) to get back to farm life himself. “I spend all of my off-time, what I have of it, with my family on our farm,” John explains. “I enjoy it. There’s no glamour to it. Woodworking, gunsmithing or driving a tractor requires getting grease or varnish all over you. It’s dirty work, but I like it.”
Clay Walker: Doin’ What I Love Tour
Clay Walker stands as a towering figure in country music, his illustrious career marked by multi-PLATINUM sales, 11 chart-topping hits and 40 singles on the charts. His songs, including classics like “If I Could Make ALiving” and “She Won’t Be Lonely Long,” resonate deeply, etching his name into the fabric of the genre. In 1996, Walker faced a new battle with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), but rather than yielding to its challenges, he emerged as a fierce advocate and fundraiser, establishing the Clay Walker Foundation to support those affected by the disease. Each year, the Clay Walker Charity Classic at Pebble Beach shines a light on his tireless efforts, raising awareness and funds for MS research. His latest album, Texas To Tennessee, produced by industry heavyweights Michael Knox and Jaron Boyer, soared to No. 1 on the iTunes Country Album charts. Drawing inspiration from legends like George Jones, James Taylor and Bob Seger, Walker’s music transcends generations, earninghim a well-deserved place among country music royalty. A member of the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, Walker continues to captivate audiences nationwide, gracing stages from coast to coast with his electrifying performances, showcasing his unwavering passion for music and advocacy. He plans to release new music throughout 2025/2026.

Mark Chesnutt
Mark Chesnutt was finally back on top of his world – then he started having pain in his arm. The pain wasn’t in his shoulder as is typical in a heart attack, but below his elbow. The night ended in emergency quadruple bypass surgery. It was June of 2024—the latest hurdle in years of health challenges Chesnutt had tackled to work his way back to the stage. The ’90s country star had to start all over again. But just like always, Mark Chesnutt was up to the challenge. With hits including “Too Cold at Home,” “Brother Jukebox,” and “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing,” his career exploded with his impressive catalog carrying him from honky-tonk stages to one of the decade’s most reliable hit makers. He signed a record deal with MCA Nashville in 1989 and was notching chart-toppers within one year. By the decade’s end, he earned 14 No. 1 hits and 23 Top 10 songs, sold more than 12 million albums, and was a CMA Horizon Award Winner. Billboard named him one of the most-played country artists of the decade. Now, Chesnutt is gearing up for his 2025-2026 Redemption Tour– more dedicated to his health and sobriety than ever and equally determined to deliver the most compelling shows of his career. This time, when he steps on stage, Chesnutt will do it as the healthiest version of himself – no alcohol, no pain, just the undeniable songs and unfailingly distinct voice on which he built his career. “I’m back and doing better than ever,” Chesnutt says. “I feel better than I did in my 30s. I’m excited about the whole process of going on the road. I’m excited every night to go on stage. I have the energy I wish I had throughout the ’90s.”
GENE WATSON – Fourteen Carat Mind Tour
GENE WATSON Country music legend Gene Watson hit the road in 2025 celebrating the 50th anniversary of his career-defining hit, “Love in the Hot Afternoon.” The single climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard charts and became one of the top songs of 1975. In 2026, Watson will honor the 45th anniversary of one of his most requested songs, “Fourteen Carat Mind,” released in September of 1981 and later becoming a No. 1 hit. The tour also marks a special milestone as Watson approaches his 82nd birthday on October 11 (full list of tour dates below). Adding to the celebration, Watson’s complete solo catalog is now available to stream on Spotify for the very first time. ———– If you ask any number of country singers who their favorite singer is, a large number of them will respond: Gene Watson. His music peers even named him “The Singer’s Singer” for his octave jumping range and smooth tone. Gene Watson has 34 studio albums, scored over 72 charted songs, including 23 Top Tens and 11 #1 country and gospel hits over his Sixty-year career. Watson’s first single, the self- penned, “If It’s That Easy” was released on Sun Valley Records in 1962. It is safe to say that most knowledgeable country fans would point to Gene Watson as one of country music’s best ballad singers in the same league as country icons George Jones, Merle Haggard, Ray Price and others who are the standard bearers for honest, traditional country music. It’s no surprise to anyone but Gene that the Grand Ole Opry asked him to be a member and inducted him into that iconic group in March of 2020, just before the world shut down for the pandemic. It’s also no surprise that such artists as Vince Gill, Lee Ann Womack, Trace Adkins, Connie Smith, Joe Nichols, Alison Krauss, and many others are not only happy, but eager to record with Gene. It’s a stunning truth that at nearly 78 years of age, that Gene still sings with his clear, pure tone intact, an unmatched soulful delivery and in the same key as 30 years ago. And that is good news for fans of real country music rooted in the timeless values of one of America’s bedrock musical genres.
