Past Performers & Festival Legacy
Since we began in 2014, we have had the opportunity to bring so many great bands to our Red Dirt BBQ and Music Festival, including: Whiskey Myers, Randy Rogers Band, Turnpike Troubadours, Josh Abbott Band, Cody Johnson, Parker McCollum, Koe Wetzel, Robert Earl Keen, Ty Myers, Braxton Keith, Treaty Oak Revival, and so many more.
In addition to the music, our festival has featured many of Texas’ best and most celebrated barbecue joints, each showcasing its own delicious smoked meats for attendees. Stay tuned; we will announce all of our BBQ vendors soon.
