7:45 p.m. Danielle Bradbery and A Thousand Horses Concert. Oak Grove Gaming
Powerhouse vocalist Danielle Bradbery has come a long way since kickstarting her career at just 16-years-old. Spending the past decade growing into her artistry, the Texas native has honed her skills and defined her sound while pouring her heart into lyric, earning multiple award nominations and touring across the globe with some of the biggest stars in Country music along the way. As Danielle prepares to embark on an exciting new chapter, she has released In Between: The Collection featuring 10 tracks representing the different chapters in Danielle's musical journey, including brand new track Look At The Mess I'm In.

Some horses were always meant to run free. Just ask A Thousand Horses, the Nashville-based Country-Rock band. That rule-breaking spirit has already earned the group a No. 1 single (the smoldering Smoke) and a Top 5 debut album. With their second release, Broken Heartland, A Thousand Horses embraced their swaggering sound and their hard-won independence.
