 A highlight of the festival will be performances by the Illinois
Country Music Association. ICMA performers will be on the Abe Stage
in the KC Building and throughout the festival on Saturday and
Sunday. This is fun for the entire family.
ICMA performers who will be entertaining during the festival are
Ray Prince, Elise Marie, Amanda Mines, Stephanie Foster, Templeton
Family, Gracia Harrison, Jenny Bennet and Naomi Hills on Saturday,
as well as Chris Krause, Terry Lynn Barton, Taylor June, Lizzie
Mladic and the new Blood Gospel Bluegrass on Sunday. These are
seasoned entertainers who perform at Oprys and other venues
throughout central Illinois and the surrounding states, including
Branson, Mo, Nashville, Tenn., and Pigeon Forge, Tenn., to name a
few. Some are independent recording artists who write and perform
their own original music and produce their own videos as well.
The ICMA is made up of musicians, dancers, performers and fans
who are dedicated to promoting country, gospel, bluegrass and
Western music throughout the state of Illinois.
There will be a
special Saturday night free performance.
