A star-studded line up comes to Nashville North

Calgary – Today’s hottest country music artists like Frankie Ballard and Jess Moskaluke, and country legends such as John Michael Montgomery and B.J. Thomas are just a few of the incredible musicians who will keep the party rockin’ all 10 days and ensure Nashville North is the hottest spot in town during the Calgary Stampede.

 

“This year we have so many Canadian-Country-Music-Award-winning artists combined with well-known American artists,” says Rod Tate, manager, Stampede programming. “At 10 hours of live music daily, Nashville North is definitely Calgary’s hottest spot for the most continuous live music.”

 

A new look and feel for Nashville North will include an increased capacity, the addition of a patio, extended hours and the all-new Stoli Lounge. The Stoli Lounge allows you to host 20 to 100 guests in a semi-private area with an elevated side stage viewing platform. Included in the experience is VIP entry to Nashville North, full service bar with a dedicated hostess, private washrooms and private catering options.

 

Also new for 2015, Nashville North will wrap things up in a hot new way with the Nashville North All-Star Band on Sunday July 12.  The All-Star lineup will feature performances by Nashville North icon Jason Greeley and a host of special guests. “We are very excited about this,” says Tate. “This will be the first time we have multiple artists perform together on the same night.”
