On June 28th, the next concert takes place with a switch of love to the number “5” with the band Cliffs that comprises of five people from five different towns that create one amazing sound. Then, Jayne Bond & The Pink Martinis headline with their high-energy party ballots.

The country star Drew Baldridge has reached the Top 50 charts and created masterful songs such as “Senior Year,” “Middle of Nowhere Kids,” the slow-burning gospel of “God’s people,” and the tear-jerking pathos of “She’s Somebody’s Daughter.”
