PRE RODEO SHOW ENTERTAINMENT
The Adrian Bundy Band brings a pure dose of country gold to Friday night’s pre-rodeo concert. With the warm twang of steel guitar, the soulful cry of fiddle, and a sound rooted in traditional country, their music is a tribute to the legends while carving out a style all their own. If you’re a fan of real country music with heart and grit, don’t miss this set—it’s the perfect kickoff to a night at the rodeo.
Saturday night, Alex Key brings a fresh yet familiar sound to the Avery County Rodeo Showdown stage. Hailing from Wilkesboro, NC, this Nashville recording artist is known for his commitment to traditional country music, enriched with the soulful tones of fiddle and pedal steel guitar. His latest album, Outdated, debuted at #1 on Amazon Music and reached #7 on the iTunes charts, propelled by the viral success of its title track. With performances alongside artists like Kentucky HeadHunters, Tyler Childers, and Eli Young Band, Alex Key delivers a high-energy, family-friendly show that resonates with fans of classic country.
