Opening Act: Bush Hawg
Bush Hawg describes itself as "A blend of backwoods, blue-collars, bar-fights and the Bible, wrapped in an American Flag and washed down with whiskey. You'll feel as if you've just been pistol whipped, then given a keg of beer to help ease the pain." Sony Music Nashville has officially welcomed the band Bush Hawg as the newest act on its RCA Nashville roster. Bush Hawg’s debut album will release later this year.
