The City of Temple is proud to announce the inaugural music lineup for Tanglefoot Music & BBQ Festival as Texas’ newest country music festival debuts this fall on September 12th – 13th at the MLK Festival Grounds in Downtown Temple.
Across two outdoor stages, festival-goers can enjoy over 20 country and Americana music acts performing at the two-day affair, with an emphasis on showcasing musicians from across the Lone Star State.
Considered one of the new leaders of Texas country music, PARKER MCCOLLUM will headline the inaugural event as the rising star is set to release his latest studio album on June 27, making Tanglefoot one of the first opportunities to watch Parker perform songs from the new album live. Joining him as co-headliner will be country outlaw and MusicRow’s former Independent Artist of the Year award winner CODY JINKS, who continues to perform in support of his latest album, Change the Game, released just last year.
A pair of Texas icons, including legendary singer-songwriter ROBERT EARL KEEN A.K.A. The Godfather of Texas Country Music, and the iconic Texas outfit that celebrates its 25th anniversary together, RANDY ROGERS BAND, will join McCollum and Jinks in Temple alongside a dozen-plus other music acts.
Additional standouts scheduled to perform at Tanglefoot Music & BBQ Festival this fall include 90s country hitmaker MARK CHESNUTT; Houston-born chart-topping singer-songwriter JACK INGRAM; Frisco-based country rocker COREY KENT, who looks to reunite with McCollum as the two toured together extensively in the early years of their careers; five-piece Americana and bluegrass-inspired band THE WILDER BLUE who just released their new album Still In The Runnin’ last month, and more.
In addition to unforgettable performances from award-winning music artists, residents and travelers alike can explore over a dozen authentic BBQ joints from some of the country’s most popular pitmasters who will travel to Temple for a rare weekend pop-up to cook up different BBQ cuisine from across the country, specifically Texas, Kansas City, Memphis, and Carolina styles.
To offer attendees of all ages a taste of the good life found in Central Texas, organizers hope to create a lasting cultural celebration each fall that evokes a sense of pride amongst residents and ultimately boosts the local economy with out-of-town visitors spending their dollars locally.
