8:30 PM: Russell Dickerson at Paladium Amphitheatre

Multi-Platinum artist and all-in performer Russell Dickerson has made a name for himself as an “ace songwriter” (Billboard) full of “unstoppable energy fans can’t get enough of,” (E! News).

The Tennessee native released four consecutive career-starting singles that reached No. One on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. Dickerson's chart-topping singles include “Yours" (3X Platinum), "Blue Tacoma” (2X Platinum), "Every Little Thing" (Platinum), "Love You Like I Used To" (Platinum) “She Likes It” ft. Jake Scott (Platinum), and his newest No. One, “God Gave Me A Girl.”

The hitmaker recently dropped a deluxe edition of his self-titled album titled Russell Dickerson: The Afterparty Deluxe and also announced that he will be extending his “Big Wheels & Back Roads” tour, with the second leg kicking off in February 2024.

7:00 PM: Tyler Rich at Paladium Amphitheatre

Northern California-raised, Nashville-rooted Tyler Rich found his love of music gathered around a Christmas tree alongside family singing holiday classics and Creedence Clearwater Revival. Fast forward to graduating college with a degree in Economics, Tyler moved to LA to pursue a different game of numbers – music – exploring various genres with songwriting and bands before taking the leap as a solo artist.

Since, Tyler has amassed nearly half a billion global streams to date and notched three No. 1 hits on SiriusXM’s The Highway with his debut album TWO THOUSAND MILES (The Valory Music Co.), featuring GOLD-certified “The Difference” plus subsequent releases “Better Than You’re Used To,” “A Little Bit of You” and “Trucks Don’t Lie.” In 2022, Tyler joined forces with one of Canada’s most successful bilingual singer-songwriters, MarieMai for a duet on “Thinkin’ We’re In Love,” which serviced as the name of his headline tour.

With his newly released I KNOW YOU DO EP, Tyler gives fans the best of both worlds fusing the spirit of youth with an easy-going buzz. Produced by The Cadillac Three’s Jaren Johnston, the three-track collection puts the many layers of the heartfelt singer/songwriter on full display. Tyler’s music embodies the feelings all people have in common – the need for acceptance, devotion and a place to call their own.
