Jason McCoy, David Boyd Janes and Kansas Stone set to headline Country Cares Drive-Inn
You know winter is drawing to a close when the big concert announcements start to come in. 2020 had it’s share of drive-in shows with star studded line-ups and it looks like 2021 is going to bring us much of the same, at least for the first part of the summer. The first big drive-in festival announced it’s lineup this morning featuring headliners David Boyd Janes, Kansas Stone and Jason McCoy.
2020 the year of the Indie artist
And just like that 2020 is in the past and a new year is upon us. As every spends the day struggling with the resolutions they made last night let’s take a look back at the year that was. 2020 was a year that the entertainment industry went dark. Theatres, stadiums all sat empty and the super successful artists, who make millions of dollars in royalties in their sleep, were on every TV telling us that we’re in this together while yet to be established artists lost sleep over where they’d find money for rent or food now that they’re primary income source, gigs, had dried up.
