The Festival

Come Join Us In Mississippi For A Down-Home Country Music Festival!
Our music festival is a tribute to the late Redd Stewart. Redd's youngest son, Billy, and wife, Sharon, along with songwriter/musician Colonel Robert Morris, and Bob Timmers, founder of The Traditional Country Music Hall of Fame would like to invite you to the first annual Redd Stewart Country Music Festival!
We anticipate a large turn out, a lot of talented performers, and everyone having a fun-filled, great time!  
It will be held in Olive Branch Mississippi on September 18th from 10:00 am till 10:00 pm at the Olive Branch City Park. Set in the beautiful southern town of Olive Branch, just 10 minutes from Memphis and 3 hours from Nashville, you will be in the heart of the country music world! You'll want to plan plenty of time to catch some of the great attractions that this area has to offer such as, Graceland, the famous Sun Studios, Olive Branch Old Towne, Nashvilles Music Row, and many other wonderful attractions!  At the festival there will be country music artists from all over the country coming to perform, and pay tribute to one of their own. Redd's music crossed over to just about every style of country music from Blue Grass & Southern Gospel, to Western Swing and Traditional Country. You'll get the same mix of country music at the festival with pickers coming from all styles of country music. This is an event for the whole family to enjoy with plenty of good food, lots of great music, and a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of our every day lives.
