Viral country-rock stars The Red Clay Strays are hitting the road this year! The group from Mobile, Alabama, found massive viral success in late 2022 with their single Wondering Why, leading to their first-ever appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 and a record deal with RCA. After winning Emerging Artist of the Year at the Americana Music Honors & Awards in 2024, they are definitely one to watch!

Formed over ten years ago, this country/folk band has gone from strength to strength over the years, with one of their major successes being 2015's #1 album Jekyll + Hyde, which sold over 200,000 copies in its first week alone! 2026 sees Zac and his fellow bandmates trekking through North America with support from Old Crow Medicine Show, Brothers Osborne, Grace Potter, and Fitz and The Tantrums. Zac Brown Band will be playing their acclaimed new album of the same title, so make sure you don't miss this expansive new outing!

Since her 1988 debut 'Bring Me Some Water', Melissa Etheridge has been an iconic voice in alternative rock and roll. When in 1993, her second record 'Yes I am' went double platinum, that success was cemented. As a performer she has won 2 Grammy Awards and an Academy Award for best original songs, but also as a social and gay rights activist, she has left a lasting impression on American popular culture.

Alejandro Rose-Garcia (aka Shakey Graves) is one of Americana's real cult favorites. Since he first emerged in 2011 with his debut Roll Your Bones, he's been honing his lo-fi mix of country, blues and rock 'n' roll with understated ease, using bandcamp as one of his major selling platforms. Don't miss Shakey on the road this year, heading to a venue near you!

Formed in New York all the way back in 1967, rock band Blue Oyster Cult still have a dedicated cult following today, even after 47 years after the release of their self-titled debut album. The band saw much success in the late '70s and have sold over 24 million records worldwide and 7 million in the United States.

With a music career spanning 4 decades, Three Dog Night have certainly earned the right to be one of America's most iconic bands. With a vast back catalogue of smash hits like "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)", "Joy to the World", "Black and White", "Shambala" and "One" it would be easy for Three Dog Night to rest on this legacy, however, this band is not one for taking a break and are always looking for new ways to increase their audience.
