Our 7th annual LIVIN Music Festival is Friday, September 12th and Saturday, September 13th at ERX Motor Park in Elk River and presented by Pacifico! Now officially a 2-night ticketed weekend, we kick off Friday night with the AWESOME return performance from Kat Perkins and the Country Roads Tribute Show!! This show was the talk of the event last year so we brought them back to do it again! You'll see tribute performances from Shania Twain, Luke Combs, Garth Brooks, Zac Brown Band, Eric Church, Luke Bryan and MORE!! Plus one of the other favorites from last year Russ Parrish & The Lone Oaks will also perform on Friday night making this evening an incredible night of music! Saturday's daytime activities do NOT require an admission or ticket and as always throughout the day we'll have a BBQ competition, food, drinks, corn hole, camping, friends, family and an inspirational program! The Saturday music line-up is the Jason Paulson Band performing with a few special guests! They will do a variety of music from country to rock to pop and even some 80's music sprinkled in! Saturday evening on the main stage is stacked--kicking things off is the Midwest CMO Entertainer of the Year Cory Waller & The Wicked Things with a "blackdirt" country sound that is basically "Red Dirt with attitude!"...plus Emilee Johnson their female lead is the Female Vocalist of the year and they will no doubt wow the crowd with their love song "Steal A Car" which was recently awarded Song of the Year!! After that is a RETURN trip for Derek Jones and the 50 South who most people at LIVIN 2 years ago wanted them back to HEADLINE the event!! They are just that good! They have a southern rock vibe and Derek's voice will probably be heard all the way to Nowthen! Our headliner this year will be revealed soon but all we can tell you is this artist has (19) top 10 hits on the country charts so you know you'll be in for a big night of sing-a-long songs and let's just say that if you've liked the music in past years we PROMISE you will enjoy the music this year!! Always remember that this event is put on by our mostly volunteer non-profit organization (The LIVIN Foundation) to benefit our mission of suicide prevention. It will never be the biggest festival in town, but hopefully it will be one of the most IMPACTFUL. After all, it's not just a music festival - it's #LIVIN and we want YOU there with us!
