The Stars of Texas Music Festival daily headliners will include Wade Bowen, Tracy Lawrence, and Lady A plus a deep list of opening acts.

“We have been building the Stars of Texas Music Festival every year and now we are thrilled with the three-day line-up of acts that we think is one of the best in the state of Texas,” said Christie Meyer Johnson, Texas Motorplex co-owner. “We announced Saturday night’s headliner Tracy Lawrence at the end of the Stars of Texas Music Festival last year and now adding Lady A on Sunday night is amazing. We are thrilled to have Stampede of Speed and Texas Motorplex fan favorite Wade Bowen kick off Friday night.”

On the heels of his new EP release Out Here In It, Lawrence’s album is engulfed in traditional instrumentation that adds proper feels to the heartache emotions of Lawrence’s powerful vocals. Listeners travel the vices he’s examined at the bottom of every alcohol-filled glass inside any bar he could find. Lady A will bring their distinctive style that over the course of their decade-plus career, has made them one of the 21st century’s premier vocal groups, blending deeply felt emotions with classic Country sounds.

We are proud to celebrate country music and so many Texas traditions with these acts,” said Meyer Johnson. “We will also be featuring two nights, Saturday and Sunday, of magical lantern releases which is always an emotional moment. Our goal is to make sure that the fans that come from across the country leave with a Texas size smile on their faces.”
