Clay County Fair Announces Special Guest Change
Spencer, Iowa – Due to unforeseen circumstances, War Hippies is unable to open for the upcoming show on Thursday, September 12, at the Clay County Fair. The Clay County Fair is excited to announce that Dustin Evans and the Good Times Band will join Justin Moore as the special guest for Thursday, September 12.
Dustin Evans, born and raised in Wessington Springs, South Dakota, grew up surrounded by music thanks to his father’s band, Kyle Evans and the Company Cowboys. He started performing at age three and was active in music throughout school, eventually co-founding The Outriders, a country band that gained popularity quickly. After college, he joined the band Good Times, which led to performances at major events like rodeos and NASCAR races. His original music, including the songs “Good Ol’ Days To Come” and “If I Die Before You Wake,” garnered chart success. In 2005, Dustin joined Chris LeDoux’s band, Western Underground, and toured with them for five years. Now based back in South Dakota, he focuses on his own band and solo performances while raising his family.
Justin Moore will take the stage as planned. The Multi-PLATINUM hitmaker Justin Moore has built a loyal following over the past decade with his traditional country sound and captivating live shows. The Arkansas-native just notched his 12th No. 1 with “You, Me, and Whiskey,” a smoldering duet with Priscilla Block. Over his 10+ year career, Moore’s No. 1 hits have included “Point at You,” “Lettin’ The Night Roll,” “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away,” “Small Town USA,” and “Till My Last Day,” as well as PLATINUM-certified albums and singles. The Valory Music Co. recording artist has earned multiple ACM, ACA, People’s Choice, and ACC Awards nominations, as well as an ACM Award win.
