Summer is on the horizon, which of course means festival season is also upon us! The 2018 Headwaters Country Jam returns to The Bridge near Three Forks, Thursday through Saturday, June 14th–16th. Headliners Gary Allan, Kip Moore, and Josh Turner are joined by featured performers Brett Young, Walker Hayes, Diamond Rio, Devin Dawson, Stephanie Quayle, Dylan Jakobsen, Sasha McVeigh, Elizabeth Lyons, Elana Jane, and Caroline Gray for this year’s festival.
With the allure of a modern day outlaw, Gary Allan has won over fans, peers and critics with his signature blend of smoldering vocals, rebellious lyrics and raucous live performances. While becoming a force on the country music scene, Allan has remained true to his artistic voice each step of the way. He’s described as “dark and dreamy” by Entertainment Weekly, “soulful and rough around the edges” by Playboy, and deemed a “maverick” by Rolling Stone. Allan has five #1 hits at country radio, fourteen Top 10 hits to his credit and amassed over 270 million total streams. He is currently finishing up work for his upcoming EMI Nashville release.
Kip Moore combines a raw and rustic voice with compelling lyrics of honesty to create a unique sound that’s simultaneously hypnotic and edgy. His voice is weathered by life’s detours and disappointments and strengthened by his dreams and determination. His music is infused with relentless intensity, both of passion and frustration. Moore is touring in support of his latest release, Slowheart, a warm and honest embrace of the country artist’s rugged rock roots and a showcase for his innate poetic prowess. The collection is made up of enduring, sturdy songs, ones that showcase his knack for rich storytelling.
Josh Turner is one of country music’s most recognizable hit-makers. With a rich, deep voice and distinctive style, he’s sold more than 12.5 million units, is a disciple of traditional country music and one of the youngest members of the esteemed Grand Ole Opry. From his 2003 platinum-selling debut Long Black Train to his most recent 2017 Billboard No. 1 release, Deep South, Turner has garnered multiple Grammy, CMA, and ACM nominations. Turner’s hits include “Your Man,” “Why Don’t We Just Dance,” “Firecracker,” “Would You Go with Me,” “All Over Me,” and “Time Is Love.”

Sixty acres are used for the state-certified campground, which holds 1,200 20×40 sites. Within the venue is a 12-acre arena where all the magic happens. Live music from national and local acts plays all day and into the night.
