What a night! What an AMAZING night we had with Stars & Guitars 2021. Thank you all for making our return to live country music an incredible one.

Scotty McCreery, Tenille Arts, Matt Stell, Clay Walker, Drew Parker and Carly Pearce gave us a performance we will NEVER forget. It was truly Unplugged, Unscripted, and absolutely Unforgettable.

Special thanks to all our sponsors for making this show possible, especially John Hiester Chevrolet and John Hiester Chrysler Dodge Jeep. We couldn’t do it without you!
