On Friday & Saturday there will be a live concert and dance
immediately following each night's Rodeo Performance on the east-side of the
arena. Meet the cowboys & contract personnel, visit with some old friends or
maybe make some new ones.
FRIDAY NIGHT - THE EVAN MICHAELS BAND
Evan
Michaels born and raised in Oklahoma, has been surrounded by music his whole
life which lead to his proficiency in guitar, singing and songwriting. What
started as entertaining his friends Friday nights at the Burbank Landing
Campsite became the onset of his exciting career. During the last 5 years Evan
has performed many of the songs from his extensive catalog in the northern OK
and southern KS region. While Evan frequents venues all over Oklahoma and
Kansas, he has also entertained Nashville at Tootsies Orchid Lounge, Music City
Bar and Grill, and opened for Nashville recording artist Chris Young. If he's
not entertaining the crowd you can find him team roping, working, relaxing at
the lake, or hanging out at the local arena

SATURDAY NIGHT - JASON BOYD & SOUTH 81
Jason
Boyd has been entertaining audiences with his style of in-your-face red dirt
country since any of us can remember. He's carved out a niche in central Kansas
as one of the hottest original crossover artists on the scene today. Defying
classification Jason blends classic country with a little bit of Texas Blues, a
little bit of Southern Rock and a little bit of mojo into a style that's all his
own.
Jason's desire to play music started as a young boy as he grew up learning and
playing with his dad, who has been a local country performer for over 25 years.
Jason has love for a lot of styles of music, but his true passion is, and always
has been country music. According to Jason "... my biggest musical influence has
always been my dad, along with artists like George Strait, Merle Haggard, Stevie
Ray Vaughn, and my more recently favorite talent Cross Canadian Ragweed and
Stoney Larue."
Jason's formative years were spent playing in bands with his father where he cut
his teeth on the classic country genre and learning his way around the stage.
Jason and a group of friends formed a band called Line Change. Its with Line
Change that Jason began to craft his unique voice and songwriting style that is
still evident in his playing today. They played for years in the central Kansas
and Northern Oklahoma region - yes, prime red dirt country - and produced a fine
self titled CD that features Jason's down to earth and from the heart
songwriting style and his edgy distinctive vocals. Following Line Change and
some much needed rest Jason is back serving up the music he loves with his new
band - Jason Boyd and South 81.
Jason Boyd and the band throw down a mixture of rockin' red-dirt, contemporary
and classic country, southern rock and original music that keeps the dance floor
packed and the good times rolling.
