Led by brothers David and Jimmy, the Nace Brothers are a model of artistic integrity, stability and professionalism. Equally at ease in a number of musical styles they’ve built a loyal fan base on their ability to engage and entertain audiences taking them on a journey through rich musical heritage.   

As seasoned professionals, they’ve earned the respect of promoters, club owners, producers and peers for their dedication to their craft, easy going confidence and their refreshing lack of pretense. 

In their 43rd year as a touring group the Nace Brothers are well versed professionals. Brilliant songwriting, expressive vocals, soaring guitar and a rock solid rhythm section combine for musical entertainment at its best. 

No strangers to Albany, their early years included shows at Shadowfax. They joined us on the Rhythm 'N' Roots stage in 2021, and we are excited to have them back again!

Eastern Heights is a 6 piece American country variety band from Southwest Missouri. The band formed in 2015 from a collection of music loving, passionate, high energy musicians, who met performing in Branson. They soon realized they shared a love for Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, and many other artists who have influenced this band's sound and style. Their unique brand of entertainment fuses tight harmonies, amazing musicianship, and unique original arrangements. With state of the art sound and lighting and personable onstage banter, this band is guaranteed to entertain.

If they look familiar, you're right! Eastern Heights joined us in 2023 (the year of the derecho)! We've asked them back so that we may relax and fully enjoy their energetically polished family-friendly show with less rain and wind (cross your fingers).

They have traveled extensively in the Midwest and South, playin’ festivals, concerts, private events, as well as the beloved honky-tonks along the way. They have played The Grand Ole’ Opry Plaza Parties and famous venues on Lower Broadway in Nashville, numerous bars and festivals in New Orleans, and mountain towns in The Rocky Mountains.

In their hometown of Kansas City, Missouri, they have opened for David Allan Coe, Billy Joe Shaver, Sammy Kershaw, Aaron Tippin, John Michael Montgomery, Jason Boland and Stragglers, The Wilders, Rex Hobart & The Misery Boys, Blake Shelton, Josh Gracin, Carolina Rain, and also played Y’allapalooza AND the Rhythm 'N' Roots Festival in 2022.

Playin’ a unique list of original songs and sing-along favorites, many are comparing Outlaw Jim and The Whiskey Benders to the original outlaws, but with a flair all their own. Expect them to play late into the night... we had to drag them off the stage the last time they were here!
