JP RAWK GONE COUNTRY? Story and Photography by JP RAWK I was provided a fabulous opportunity to cover FAIRGROUNDS COUNTRY FEST in Hagerstown, MD, c/o our broadcast partners at SCORPION RADIO GROUP and their station, ROUTE 66 CRUISIN COUNTRY. The day included six acts: JOSHUA MORNINGSTAR--who recently came off tour as a supporting act for SHOOTER JENNINGS--son of legendary Country star, WAYLON JENNINGS; LYNDSEY HIGHLANDER--an up and coming Indie Country artist who took time out to meet over 300 fans after her set; DAVISSON BROTHERS BAND--who had a very lively, energetic stage show; the very popular JANA KRAMER--who sent fans flocking for an opportunity to win a meet and greet; CRAIG WAYNE BOYD--season 7 winner of “The Voice”--under the coaching of Country superstar BLAKE SHELTON; and the headliner, Grammy Award winning artist, TRAVIS TRITT--who was a member of the Class of ’89…the year he, GARTH BROOKS and ALAN JACKSON were signed to major label deals. Yep, JP RAWK went COUNTRY…at least for the day! www.route66cruisincountry.com www.scorpionradiogroup.com
