From: Jax Beach Country Fest

A Free, Family Friendly Music Festival.

Schedule:

Tigirlily Gold:
Sisters Kendra Olson and Krista Slaubaugh have been playing music together since they could walk and officially formed Tigirlily Gold when they were still teens. While still in high school, they crisscrossed the Midwest, forming a fierce fan base and selling out amphitheaters across their home-state of North Dakota. After moving to Nashville, they landed a weekly residency at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row on the city’s famed lower Broadway. Playing four-hour sets, three to four nights a week, the sisters developed a performance style that’s not only captivating and fun but shows that entertaining is in their blood. 

John Morgan:
Armed with enough talent to bypass Nashville’s 10-year town rule, John Morgan moved to Nashville in 2019 and quickly established himself as a hit songwriter scoring #1s and cuts by
numerous artists, including Thomas Rhett, Dustin Lynch, Jon Pardi, Michael Ray and George Birge. Jason Aldean cut 16 of Morgan’s songs - including the #1 hits "Trouble with a Heartbreak" and "If I Didn’t Love You," a smash duet with Carrie Underwood - and the superstar signed Morgan to his Night Train Records imprint through BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. His full-length debut album, Carolina Blue, spotlights a gifted storyteller unafraid to mine his own heart to deliver songs that feel both intensely personal yet warmly universal.

Bryce Leatherwood:
Singer/songwriter Bryce Leatherwood aims to carry the torch of country music and continue the legacy of legends prior. Born and raised in Woodstock, GA, his passion for music began at an early age. Working on his grandfather’s farm every summer, Leatherwood was exposed to the classic country hits of George Jones, Merle Haggard and Conway Twitty. Soon thereafter he began picking up guitars and playing the traditional country music that inspires him today. Leatherwood’s music career began to blossom in Statesboro, GA, where he attended Georgia Southern University. During his time in Statesboro, Leatherwood played college venues and continued to grow his stage presence and his country music repertoire. While in college, Leatherwood formed his band and began playing all around the Southeast. Just weeks after graduating college, Bryce set his mind on a new task. In 2022, Leatherwood competed on the NBC hit television show The Voice and was crowned the Season 22 winner in December.
