Justin Moore Returns to Cedar Rapids

The Arkansas native has paid a visit to the Hawkeye State on a few occasions. Justin Moore has become a big name in country radio over the past decade.

He actually just earned himself his 13th No. 1 with his latest track 'This Is My Dirt.'

Some of his other massive hits include “You, Me, and Whiskey,” “We Didn’t Have Much,” and “The Ones That Didn’t Make It Back Home.”

Joe Nichols Comes to the Hawkeye State

Just like Moore, Joe Nichols also hails from Arkansas.

This country singer has released nine studio albums over the course of his nearly twenty-year long career. In 2003, Nichols won the title of CMA New Artist of the Year (at that time called the Horizons Award),

Nichols' goal as a performer is to connect with his audience on an emotional level.

“My job is to make people feel good. And sometimes that means with fun and happy songs, and other times with sad and sorrowful truths. But the goal is always to make them feel good,” Joe says on his website.
