Brantley Gilbert

Third annual Finger Lakes Country Music Festival 2024 kicked off Saturday, June 1st, with Nick Stark and his friends from Begging Angels. Similar to a writers' round style and all taking turns to entertain the crowd as they filled the grounds for the big day. NWE Events with Back II Back Entertainment provide some of the best shows in Central NY. The weather at the Wayne County Fairgrounds couldn't have been any better. Country music, sunshine and cold beer go “hand in hand” and make for a great time.

Claudia Hoyser, working her way up the ranks and from the area, came back again to open for Brantley Gilbert. She's been singing most of her life and has opened many shows for “bigger” artists. Before long, she's off to California to open for Keith Urban. Hoyser is certainly no stranger to the country music scene and before long will be another name known to all. Claudia has opened previously for Brantley as well, and has quite the fan following. Millions of views on her music to date, and only gonna get bigger.

Meghan Patrick had no trouble engaging the crowd and keeping them entertained. The American-Canadian singer-songwriter is married to Mitchell Tenpenny. Meghan states they don't see each other much because they're both into music and it leads a very busy lives. Patrick let it all go on stage and even took a few swigs from the bottle. He even got closer to the fans in the front row and signed a few autographs.

Meghan, known for her hits like “Country Music Made Me Do It” and “Wild As Me,” has captivated audiences with her raw talent and undeniable passion for music. Patrick continues to build her career and connect with fans through her music and down-to-earth personality.

Jon Langston had a delayed flight and wasn't sure whether he would make it or not. He did and didn't seem to be bothered by the delay. Super down to earth and even shared some shots with the fans in the front row. The ones that made it into their cups anyway. Jon Langston is one hell of a country music singer and songwriter. His music blends traditional country sounds with modern influences, resonating with audiences looking for an authentic country music experience. Langston's passion for storytelling shines through in his lyrics, often drawing from personal experiences and emotions. With his powerful vocals and energetic performances, Jon Langston continues to make a mark in the country music scene.

Brantley Gilbert, “Mr.Bottoms Up,” even sat most of the day on side stage to watch and show support for the openers. Gilbert's music is badass and even had a pyro stage show as well. Gilbert told us how he saved Colt Ford's life not long after Ford died twice with heart failure, and Brantley said there was no way he was letting his “brother” go.
