Posted

MALONE -- The Franklin County Fair Board of Directors announces the full list of their entertainment line-up coming to the 167th Franklin County Agricultural Fair. Fair dates will be from Aug 4-13, 2017.

Multi-platinum Oklahoma City rockers, “Hinder” comprised of Marshal Dutton on vocals, Joe "Blower" Garvey and Mark King on guitars, Mike Rodden on bass and Cody Hanson on drums, are gearing up for their fifth studio album "When the Smoke Clears" (set for release via The End Records/ADA this spring of 2017).

Singalong anthems, such as “Get Stoned” and “Lips Of An Angel,” shot them to megastardom, establishing Hinder as the next wave in anthemic rock.

Now with over a decade-plus career under their belts, and having honed their live chops touring with the likes of Mötley Crüe, Nickelback, Aerosmith, and Papa Roach, Hinder’s upcoming album with their official new lead vocalist Marshal Dutton has breathed new sound, and new air, into the ever-evolving band.

Hinder will take the stage on the opening night of the Franklin County Fair Friday, Aug. 4. Ticket prices will be $15 for Grandstand and $20 for Track, plus Gate fees.

Also taking the stage August 11, 2017, will be Kingston Springs, Tennessee native and country music artist, Craig Morgan.

This multi-faceted Renaissance man proves it on his upcoming new studio album, aptly titled "A Whole Lot More To Me", a record that furthers Morgan's reputation as one of the genre's most commanding vocalists. Morgan has charted seventeen times on the Billboard country charts.

Besides "That's What I Love About Sunday," six more of his singles have reached that chart's Top Ten: "Almost Home," "Redneck Yacht Club," "Little Bit of Life," "International Harvester," "Love Remembers", and "Bonfire." Craig Morgan will perform Friday, Aug. 11. Ticket prices will be $15 for Grandstand and $20 for Track, plus Gate fees.

The last big night of entertainment will be legendary singer/songwriter, Bret Michaels, who has sold over 35 million records worldwide, is a reality TV superstar with some of the highest rated reality shows in history as well.

Bret was born in the small town of Butler, Pennsylvania on March 15, 1963. Rising to fame as the front man of Poison, one of rock’s most iconic and enduring bands, he helped define the rock-n-roll scene on the Sunset Strip.

Their massive success includes selling over 33 million records worldwide and numerous hit singles. Equally as successful, Bret’s solo career has charted its own course with multiple solo albums. His album, Built, topped the charts, reaching #1 on Billboard's Hard Rock list.

His latest CD, True Grit, features a myriad of legendary artists, who just happen to be great friends of Bret's. His talent, business acumen and natural candor have solidified him as "a cultural touchdown" in the words of former Viacom CEO Judy McGrath and made him one of the most sought after performers, keeping him on the road for each of the last 10 years, for nearly 300 live performances, speaking engagements, charitable concerts and private engagements yearly.
