7 p.m. Phillip Phillips
Since releasing his five-times-Platinum debut single “Home” in spring 2012, Phillip Phillips has released three chart-topping albums and taken his expansive brand of earthy, guitar-fueled rock to stages across the globe. With his soulful vocals and ruggedly warm sensibilities, the Georgia-bred 32-year-old saw his first full-length effort, The World from the Side of the Moon, go Platinum after debuting at #4 on the Billboard Top 200. In 2014 his second album, Behind the Light, offered up the lead anthemic folk-rock radio hit “Raging Fire.” Phillips released “Miles” in the summer of 2017 as he toured North America with the Goo Goo Dolls, as a precursor to his recent and highly anticipated third full-length, Collateral. In 2023, Philips released his first album as an independent artist called Drift Back with Top 15 AC Hits “Dancing With Your Shadows” and “Love Like That.”

7 p.m. Los Lonely Boys
For Los Lonely Boys- brothers Henry, Jojo, and Ringo Garza- family has always been at the core of their music and lives. Hailing from San Angelo, Texas, the Garza brothers coined their own sound—bluesy “Texican rock & roll”—and turned it into a global sensation. Their breakout came when Willie Nelson’s nephew discovered their demo. Willie soon championed the group, booking them for Farm Aid and recording with them at his studio. Their debut album, Los Lonely Boys, released in 2003 and re-released by Epic, was a smash success, thanks to the No. 1 hit “Heaven.” The song earned them a Grammy and helped the album spend over 76 weeks on the Billboard Top 200, selling over 2 million copies. In 2024, they released Resurrection through BMG—a powerful return that captures their signature sound while uniquely blending elements of soul, roots, and rock & roll. More than two decades after their debut, they remain a vital force in music, proving that their story is still unfolding.
