On Air Now & coming up
HANK WILLIAMS JR at the Iowa State Fair
August 15 @ 8:00 pm
Rocking out in Des Moines, IA, join country icon, Hank Williams Jr and opener, Old Crow Medicine Show, for night to remember at the Iowa State Fair on Friday, August 18th!
Raised in Nashville, Hank Williams Jr. learned music from the finest of teachers. At age 11, he made his own Opry debut, walking across the same wooden boards his father had walked on, and, just like his daddy, singing “Lovesick Blues” and encoring. By finding his own powerful voice, both rebellious and vulnerable, he has become a music icon in his own right. He remains an inspiration to acts like Alan Jackson, Kid Rock, Jamey Johnson.

Old Crow Medicine Show got their start busking on street corners in 1998, from New York state and up through Canada, winning audiences along the way with their boundless energy and spirit. They eventually found themselves in Boone, North Carolina where they caught the attention of folk icon Doc Watson while playing in front of a pharmacy. He invited the band to play at his festival, MerleFest, and the rest is history. It’s been over twenty years since these humble beginnings. The band has gone on to receive the honor of being inducted as members of the Grand Ole Opry and have won two Grammy Awards.
