The popular Fourth of July concert will feature Blake Shelton. Shelton moved to Nashville when he was merely 17, released his debut album in July of 2001 and immediately scored his first No. 1 hit, "Austin," that same month. As a result, Radio & Records magazine named him Breakthrough Artist of 2001. Shelton has received success with hit singles “Some Beach,” “Nobody But Me” and “Ol’ Red,” just to name of few. He was also recently named one of People Magazine’s Sexiest Men Alive!

Opening for Blake Shelton on Saturday, July 4th is Bucky Covington. Covington received his big break on the hit TV show American Idol, finishing as the eighth-place finalist. With his latest single, “I’ll Walk,” leaping into the Top 10 on the Mediabase country chart this week, Bucky Covington becomes one of only three male country artists since 2005 – including Josh Gracin and Jason Aldean - to have three consecutive top 10 singles from his debut album. Covington’s previous singles, “A Different World” and “It’s Good To Be Us,” peaked at #5 and #9 respectively on the Mediabase country chart.
