The Missouri State Fair has announced the seventh 2024 State Fair concert series concert. Country artists Ian Munsick and Creed Fisher will perform on Thursday, Aug. 15, as part of the State Fair Grandstand, presented by CFM Insurance, concert series at the 2024 Missouri State Fair.
Ian Munsick, a native of Wyoming, is showcasing a dynamic portrayal of the American West with his second album, White Buffalo, set for release on April 7. This 18-track album covers many themes, including unfiltered tales of romance and ranch life, hard-working anthems with honky-tonk hooks, and mountain-time tributes to family and perpetual youth. It expands on the spacious, roots-pop aesthetic introduced in his major label debut, Coyote Cry. Over the past three years, Munsick has amassed nearly 400 million global streams and received numerous accolades.
The 29-year-old has been recognized as an “Artist to Watch” by Spotify, CMT, Fender, MusicRow, and others. Munsick has been a seasoned performer immersed in music, from tending cattle during the day to playing in a family band at night. He has recently toured with country music stars Morgan Wallen and Cody Johnson. In addition to his professional achievements, he has also embraced roles as a husband and father.
As a Warner Music Nashville recording artist and multi-instrumentalist, Munsick is celebrating his heritage and the unique characters of his home like never before. The album’s first release, “Long Live Cowgirls” (a duet with Cody Johnson), reached No. 1 on SiriusXM’s The Highway Hot 30 Countdown and was named one of Amazon Music’s Best Country Songs of 2022. Munsick’s fans will always encounter open-heartedness, natural wonder, and plainspoken truth in his work as he continues to bring the essence of the West to a wider audience.
Creed Fisher, a rising star in Outlaw Country music, encourages fans to stay true to their roots and not shy away from hard work for an honest living in his latest album, This Ain’t the Hamptons. This eagerly awaited sequel to 2022’s Rebel in the South arrives at a time when interest in the traditional sounds of Outlaw and Traditional Country music is peaking. The album features distinct Red Dirt influences.
Fisher’s music celebrates blue-collar values, patriotism, and the simple joys of life, resonating with a broad segment of Americans, especially those who cherish country music and its lifestyle.
Tickets for the show are priced at $55 and $45 and will be available for purchase starting at 9 a.m. on May 21 through Etix. This concert is part of a lineup that includes previously announced performances by Foreigner with Maggie Rose, Warren Zieders with Wyatt Flores, Goo Goo Dolls with The Fray, Tracy Lawrence with Ruby Leigh, Tauren Wells with Jordan Feliz, and Ludacris with Dax.
