Join us on the Atchison Riverfront for an unforgettable night of music and entertainment!
Headliner
BlackHawk
With over seven million albums sold, BlackHawk brings their unique sense of harmony to headline Friday night's entertainment! Their 1993 self-titled debut launched with smash hits like "Goodbye Says It All" and "Every Once in a While," earning Double-Platinum certification and an ACM nomination as Best New Vocal Group.
"We were three guys whose goal was to approach country with smart songs and unique harmonies for people who may not automatically like country."
Lorrie Morgan
The first woman in country music to begin her career with three consecutive Platinum albums! Lorrie Morgan brings her lustrous vocal phrasing and down-to-earth believability to the Riverfront Stage. A Nashville native and daughter of Country Music Hall of Fame member George Morgan, she was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry at just 24 years old.
Known for hits like "What Part of No," "Five Minutes," and the epic "Something in Red" - Lorrie is a living, breathing country song.
Watch for an upcoming announcement on the opener for Friday night!
