SUMMARY:Carolina Stampede Music Fest
DESCRIPTION:SAVE THE DATE! The committee has aimed to curate the Carolina Stampede Music Fest to truly embody our mission: celebrating community\, local culture\, and music diversity.

SUMMARY:Festival: Carolina Country Stampede
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to share that Ricochet is set to close out the 27th Annual Carolina Country Stampede on September 30th. This will be their second appearance at the event (2011). With their unique music style and beautiful harmonies\, it’s no wonder that Ricochet has become one of the most popular vocal country groups out there. Their debut single\, “What Do I Know\,” was a huge success and earned them Top New Vocal Group in the 1995 ACMs. And who could forget their first #1 single\, “Daddy’s Money\,” which helped cement them as a true country music force? \nNu Blu will perform at the 27th Annual Carolina Country Stampede on September 30th. This talented group from Siler City\, NC\, offers a unique Appalachian sound that will captivate the audience. Their amazing Quartet and layered harmonies perfectly complement the bluegrass genre. They are helping bring bluegrass to the masses by serving as the permanent host of the nationally-syndicated TV show “Bluegrass Ridge.” It’s no surprise that Nu Blu has achieved great success\, reaching the top 10 on the Billboard charts and receiving the “Country Band of The Year” from the Carolina Country Music Awards. \nJim Quick & Coastline\, making their second appearance (2009)\, is kicking off the 27th Annual Carolina Country Stampede on September 29th. Jim Quick & Coastline have traveled the tracks of the southeast\, connecting with the hearts of loyal “Carolina Crazies.” The band has woven its genre by pulling Soul\, Blues\, R&B\, and Americana threads. They capture the true\, honest spirit of traditions of small southern towns of America. Jim Quick & Coastline has received multiple Carolina Music Awards\, such as Entertainer of The Year (18x). \n  \nCall the Town of Williamston at 252-792-5142 to sign up as a vendor or sponsor!
