DIERKS BENTLEY AND NEWCOMER JON PARDI HAVE A “WATERSHED” MOMENT.
Dierks Bentley, Kix Brooks, Sara Evans, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Dwight Yoakam And More To Converge For Three-Day Camping Festival
Nashville, TN- April 27, 2012- Live Nation Entertainment and ACM Promoter of the Year Brian O’Connell are leading the charge for a new country festival where the music and atmosphere will rival the serene, natural beauty of the landscape. Watershed Music Festival will take place August 3, 4 and 5 at the iconic Gorge Amphitheatre and is set to feature a versatile lineup of artists, camping, late night sets, impromptu jam sessions, collaborations and more. Located east of Seattle, the Gorge Amphitheatre provides a picturesque backdrop for the laid back, country vibe O’Connell has envisioned for this truly unmatched festival. Three-day festival passes start at only $90 and go on sale Sat., May 5 at Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com.
“The Gorge provides a feeling that is impossible to recreate anywhere else,” said O’Connell. “It is truly a magical place and provides the perfect setting for a cool, eclectic country event. We wanted to create something that didn’t exist, from the caliber of artists to the camping and the atmosphere. I’m excited to be a part of it and see it all come together.”
“In the storied 25 year history of The Gorge, we’ve been fortunate to host many of the nation’s top country artists, but all have been single day concerts,” said Jeff Trisler, President of Live Nation Seattle. “For years, we’ve wanted to host a multiple day country festival that builds on the tremendous success for our annual Sasquatch Music Festival and Dave Matthews Band residency. We believe this event will bring that same sort of excitement and energy to The Gorge for an entirely new group of music fans.”
Artists confirmed for the multi-day country fest include Dierks Bentley, Jon Pardi, Kix Brooks, Sara Evans, Brantley Gilbert, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Thompson Square, Uncle Kracker, Dwight Yoakam, Tracy Lawrence, Reckless Kelly, The Lost Trailers, Steve Holy, Johnny Reid, Thomas Rhett, Morgan Frazier, DeeJay Silver and a local stage will feature regional acts each night. More artists are set to be announced in the coming weeks.
The Gorge Amphitheatre, located in George, Wash., is undoubtedly one of the most scenic concert venues in the world and offers sweeping views of the Columbia River Gorge. The area itself is a watershed for the Columbia River, thus inspiring the name of the event. The Watershed Music Festival will feature a limited capacity of 25,000 and will offer lawn terrace seating and premiere camping options. The amphitheatre has been the home of many historic concerts from bands such as Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Van Halen, Rush, Radiohead, Tim McGraw, Aerosmith, Metallica, Rascal Flatts, John Mayer, The Police, Brad Paisley, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the annual Sasquatch! Music Festival.

LADY ANTEBELLUM EXTEND A HELPING HAND. (AUDIO)
Tickets for Lady Antebellum’s Rebuilding Henryville Charity Ball go on sale Friday (April 27th) at 10am through Ticketmaster. The benefit show will take place May 16th in Louisville, Kentucky, and all ticket sale proceeds will go to the Tornado Relief Efforts in Henryville, Indiana. The show first began as a contest between high schools to have Lady A perform at their Prom. After receiving videos from neighboring high schools, Henryville High was chosen as the winner and the idea for an even bigger event was born. The band is excited to be giving them a helping hand. “We kinda just wanted to do something to bring a little joy and excitement to the community,” says Charles.
The trio has been off the road for a couple of weeks – while Dave Haywood tied the knot and so the rest of the band could enjoy a few days of well-earned vacation. They’ll return to their Own The Night 2012 World Tour with a two-night stand in New York City May 3rd and 4th.
Lady A are currently “dancing” their way to the top of the country charts with their latest single, “Dancin’ Away With My Heart.”
AUDIO: Lady Antebellum’s Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott are looking forward to playing a special show for Henryville High School, and helping to raise money to help the town and the school on May 16th in Louisville, Kentucky.
Lady A (Henryville) OC: …in the world. :30
CHARLES: “Man, we’re just so excited to be able to, to be playing for the community there in Henryville, and our thoughts go out to them. And we kinda just wanted to do something to bring a little joy and excitement to the community.” HILLARY: “Yeah, it’ll be really cool to see hopefully a lot of smiling faces, and anything we can do to try to help them forget – for even just for a few minutes – all of the things that they’ve been through over the past few weeks and just give them joy and put smiles on their faces. That’ll be absolutely the coolest feeling in the world.”
