Kicking off the Fair on Friday, October 21 is the always popular Aaron Watson. For over 20 years now, Aaron Watson has traveled the land as country's ultimate underdog troubadour. Working without corporate backers, he has nonetheless reached the Top 10 of Billboard's Country Album chart five separate times — an impressive feat by any standard —and that includes his triumphant 2015 set, The Underdog, which landed at number one. Matching sold-out shows across the country with homegrown hits, he's followed suit at country radio, making history in 2017 with "Outta Style" and "Run Wild Horses," But despite the success, the Texas native remains a fighter, punching far above his weight, constantly defending his right to be in the ring. With his new album, Unwanted Man, he reminds all who care to listen that it's just fine by him.
Saturday, October 22 is the exciting classic country addition to the Fair's line up, Mark Chesnutt. Mark Chesnutt is one of country's true musical treasures. Critics have hailed him as a classic country singer of the first order and some of country music's most elite entertainers, from George Jones to George Strait, echo the sentiment. Mark Chesnutt's stature is easily gauged. He has 14 No. 1 hits, 23 top-ten singles, four platinum albums, and five gold records to his credit. Mark Chesnutt has a knack for picking great songs, delivering them with world-class style and a heart-felt emotion.
The 2022 Fair will wrap up the weekend with two performers on Sunday, October 23: Los Ligaditos and Los Viejones De Linares. Los Ligaditos began in 2011 and continues to perform a very youthful, and very distinctive norteno style music that delights the crowd. Los Ligaditos has been incited to share stages in the United States and Mexico with groups that they have admired since they were children, including Los Invasores de Nuevo Leon, Los Tigres del Norte, and Intocable, among many others. Headlining the Sunday performance will be Los Viejones De Linares the rebirth of the 1980's group Los Cadetes De Linares. The group is represented with the quartet as heirs of the norteno sound.
