Washboard Union is proud this week to join the amazing lineup for Big Valley Jamboree this July:
CAMROSE, AB (January 13, 2015) – The Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose, Alberta is getting closer every day, and we have a whole new batch of performers to announce to make that wait just a little bit easier. From kick-off to closing night, our schedule is shaping up quick.Making his BVJ debut, the first addition to our Thursday night RE/MAX Kick-Off Party line-up is one of the newest stars to the country scene, Dallas Smith—but this lone ranger is no stranger to the stage. Before his debut solo album in 2012, Dallas was lead singer to the group Default. Now he’s using his gritty, powerhouse voice for something a little more honky-tonk, but every bit as right for a party.With a long and storied history, the Grammy-winning The Del McCoury Band knows enough bluegrass between them to play through the whole long weekend, but they’ll be putting on their best in a single set when they hit the BVJ stage. Their wheels have been turning since 1967, and they’ve learned more than a few things along the way.Returning to the Big Valley Jamboree for the first time in almost 20 years, country legend Ian Tyson will be singing the stories of a true Canadian and a real cowboy. His long career as asolo artist and as half of the duo Ian & Sylvia landed him in the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 1989, and it’s bringing him back to the BVJ in 2015.
The next addition is a seven-piece outlaw band that has spent the last four years touring extensively—so they know how to throw a hoedown. The Washboard Union will be taking the BVJ stage for the first time to share their energetic and down-to-earth style of contemporary bluegrass and country.
Coming together to form one of our best line-ups yet, the artists above will be joining Reba, Brad Paisley, Lady Antebellum, The Band Perry, Justin Moore, Lee Brice, and Corb Lund.
