Restless Road & Runaway June Saturday, August 10 • 7pm

Exhibition Hall
Doors open at 6pm

Restless Road is “one of the most intriguing and exciting acts of the year” as hailed by Wide Open Country. The trio has accumulated more than 210 million cumulative career streams and over 4 million social media followers, and their hit single “Growing Old With You” was #1 on Sirius XM’s The Highway and performed by the band on ABC’s The Bachelor. Restless Road was featured on Opry NextStage and Spotify's “Hot Country Artists to Watch,” and 2022-23 was successful on the touring front as they embarked on Kane Brown’s Drunk or Dreaming Tour, the US Blessed & Free Tour, and their own sold-out Bar Friends Tour. 

Runaway June’s career triumphs include nominations from the Academy of Country Music Awards and the CMT Music Awards, touring with country icons Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan, and scoring a major radio hit with their gold-certified breakthrough single “Buy My Own Drinks.” Strong-minded, soft-hearted and wildly free-spirited, the Nashville-based trio is now set to deliver a new chapter with its effervescent sound shining like never before. Whether they’re offering up an intimate confessional or a barnburning anthem, Runaway June reveals the eclectic sensibilities at the heart of their collaboration.

Barenaked Ladies Friday, October 4 • 8pm

With special guest Toad the Wet Sprocket • 7pm
Exhibition Hall
Doors open at 6pm

Barenaked Ladies has become an institution, with a passionately dedicated audience (enough for them to headline their own cruises and have an ice cream flavor named after them) and a constant flow of new fans (plenty of whom discover the band through their theme song to The Big Bang Theory). As you’d expect from the guys who gave us “One Week” and “If I Had $1,000,000”, their 18th studio album, In Flight, captures the dry wit and keen observation fans have come to love. “It’s All Been Done” in their 35-year career, including Grammy nominations, sold-out Red Rocks shows, and No. 1 hits worldwide.

Toad the Wet Sprocket is embarking on a fall tour with Barenaked Ladies to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1994 platinum-selling album Dulcinea. Their first platinum album, Fear, produced iconic hit singles “All I Want” and "Walk on the Ocean” before they solidified their popularity and mainstream success with “Fall Down,” “Something’s Always Wrong” and “Good Intentions.” Toad’s trio of founding members are still making new music and touring with the same spirit and independence that started it all, more than three decades ago.
