News release from the Texas Reds Festival:
Organizers of the 2018 Texas Reds Steak and Grape Festival are excited to announce that country music superstar Wynonna will play the festival on Friday night, September 28 at 9:30 PM.
She will perform on the KBTX Main Stage (at the intersection of 28th and Main Streets) in Historic Downtown Bryan.
More live music will be announced for the festival in the coming weeks.
This announcement comes on the same day that tasting ticket packages go on sale. (Tickets are not required for the concert or entry into the festival.)
This year’s Friday night concert is headlined by country superstar WYNONNA & THE BIG NOISE!
Respected by the millions of fans who are drawn to her music and undeniable talent, Wynonna’s rich and commanding voice has sold over 30 million albums worldwide spanning her remarkable 34-year career.
As one-half of the legendary mother/daughter duo “The Judds,” Wynonna was once dubbed by Rolling Stone as “the greatest female country singer since Patsy Cline.”
This iconic performer has received over 60 industry awards, with countless charting singles, including 20 No.1 hits such as “Mama He’s Crazy,” “Why Not me,” and “Grandpa, (Tell Me ‘Bout The Good Ole Days).” Wynonna and her band The Big Noise, led by her husband/drummer/producer Cactus Moser, released their debut full-length album in February 2016 via Curb Records to critical acclaim.
Wynonna has described the new sound as “vintage yet modern” and a “return to the well.” It’s a rootsy work encompassing country, Americana, blues, soul and rock.
A Friday night headliner concert is one of several new things added to this year’s festival. Other new highlights to the festival include:
• On Saturday, enjoy all of your favorite parts of the steak and grape festival including Texas wine and beer, the steak cook-off, steak dinners, artists, food vendors, kids zone and great music. Plus, the wine and beer tent hours have been extended (11 AM – 8 PM)!
• “Unwind & Dine” – a multi-course wine tasting dinner hosted on Saturday night at Madden’s Casual Gourmet. The dinner menu will be created by Chef Tai Lee with each course accompanied by a specifically-selected Texas wine.
• “Wine Down” on Sunday with the Steak & Egg Brunch accompanied by mimosas and jazz! Beer and wine tasting tickets can be redeemed at the bar at the Palace Theatre on Sunday.
• Kids Zone is FREE and at the Palace this year on Saturday!
In addition, this year’s festivalgoers will enjoy wine from more than 25 Texas wineries, beer from more than 15 Texas craft breweries, artisans, food vendors, kids zone, live music, a grape stomp, and of course, plenty of mouth-watering steak.
Admission to the festival and the Kids Zone is free.
Tickets must be purchased for Wine Tastings, Beer Tastings, the Saturday Night Steak Dinner, the Sunday Brunch, and the new Unwind & Dine multi-course dinner. All tickets are on sale now.
Tickets will also be available at the festival; however, the prices are lower for tickets purchased in advance.
