The Fremont Street Experience is going country for the
kickoff party for the National Finals Rodeo on Wednesday, December 3.
The stompin’ shindig will feature free live concerts and plenty of
two-steppin’ fun.
The 22nd Annual Downtown Hoedown brings a rollicking entertainment
lineup to Fremont Street with top country music talents Lady
Antebellum, Heidi Newfield, The Road Hammers and Mark Chesnutt.
The performance schedule is as follows:
1st Street Stage
Lady Antebellum, 6-8 p.m.
Heidi Newfield, 9-11p.m.
3rd Street Stage
The Road Hammers, 6-8 p.m.
Mark Chesnutt, 9-11 p.m.
In the summer of 2006, Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood
formed the band Lady Antebellum. Since the new group debuted, they’ve
earned Top New Group at the 2008 Academy of Country Music Awards (ACM)
and have continued to blow country music fans away with their
one-of-a-kind vocal chemistry. Their hit single, “Love Don’t Live Here”
debuted on the Top 5 Hot Country Songs on the Billboard Charts.
Former member of Trick Pony and winner of an ACM Best New Artist Award,
now solo-artist Heidi Newfield brings her explosive voice and
rambunctious stage antics to the country music scene. In 2008, Newfield
debuted her solo album, “What Am I Waiting For?” and for twelve weeks
her hit single, “Johnny & June” reached the Top 15 on the Billboard
Hot Country Charts.
Joined together from CMT Canada’s “Making the Band” reality show,
Clayton Bellemy, Chris Byrne and Corbett Frasz formed The Road Hammers
and found quick success with fans combining soulful country with edgy
rock ‘n roll. The band's self-titled debut album ascended to the upper
reaches of the Canadian country charts, with four songs "East Bound and
Down," "Nashville Bound," "Girl On the Billboard" and "I'm a Road
Hammer" hitting the Top 10.
Since 1989, Mark Chesnutt has been doing what he loves best – “…to sing
country music for true blue country fans.” One of Billboards Ten
Most-Played Radio Artists of the ‘90s, Chesnutt lives for performing on
stage to his fans and creating music with hits like “Bubba Shot the
Jukebox” and “I Don’t Want to Miss A Thing.” He has been on tour since
1990 and brings his country hits alive with his stage presence.
The Downtown Hoedown starts kickin’ at 6 pm on Wednesday, December 3.
All are invited to mosey on downtown and enjoy the feel-good sounds of
country music among the iconic neon lights of the Fremont Street
Experience. All concerts are free and open to the public and parking is
available at the Fremont Street Experience parking garage located on
the corner of Carson and 4th Streets.
