Joel Crouse, Greg Bates, Easton Corbin – New Stars of Countryfest

Every year WGNA is proud to welcome a new batch of talent to our star-studded Countryfest line-up.

In addition to the superstars, WGNA has always found a place to introduce and showcase new talent to the huge crowds that flock to the annual event. Through the years the 'rising stars' have included Kenny Chesney (2000), Keith Urban (2002), Brad Paisley (2004), Dierks Bentley (2005), Blake Shelton (2006) and so many more. Will this year's new stars climb as high as these other 'new' Countryfest singers?
