7th Annual WOKQ Country Festival Lineup

Eric Grant Band
The Gilford, New Hampshire based Eric Grant Band has been leaving a considerable mark on the New England country music scene since 2009. Not to be confused with a newcomer, EGB is the result of eight longtime professional musicians getting together to create a new country sound that has fans and critics taking notice. The group has headlined stages of all sizes throughout New England and has leant opening act support to national acts such as Jason Aldean, Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Phil Vassar, Joey and Rory, Keith Anderson, Lonestar, Sugarland, and the Zac Brown Band.  Get on board! The EGB Express is rolling!

Tom Dixon Band
With a unique combination of smooth country vocals and a southern rock style The Tom Dixon Band has given birth to a new way of delivering that sweet country sound, with a heartpumping, foot-stomping beat that can only be viewed as a bit spicy, smooth, southern country rock. The Tom Dixon Band has been invited to perform in many high-profile venues where they deliver the opening performance for such notable acts as The Zac Brown Band, Sugarland, Phil Vassar and Dusty Drake as well as live back-up vocals & rhythm guitar for Nashville's own Crossin' Dixon. The band has been included in shows for 97.5 WOKQ (Dover, NH) on numerous occasions including 5 years in a row for the WOKQ Countryfest at Prescott Park in Portsmouth, NH. 

Natalie Turgeon Band
Based in Concord, NH the Natalie Turgeon Band is a group of 5 talented musicians who formed to set the music stage for one of the best female vocalist to come out of New England in a very long time. With her natural country tone and powerhouse voice as big as the White Mountains, Natalie Turgeon and NTB have been generating excitement and earning praise since they hit the stage. Natalie's pure country tone makes her a natural for country music; her powerful voice brings energy to classic and southern rock. Natalie and the talented musicians, all with great musical backgrounds, are making a name for themselves. In 2011 look for NTB on stages all over New England and come join them.

Country Mile Band
Few New England country acts have had such explosive success as Country Mile. Their music has been called a "kicking" kind of country. From their foot stomping covers to their original music they will keep you dancing for sure. Country Mile has gained a solid reputation as New England's premier country music, dance, party and show band. If you look at the band's experience it's no surprise. The members of Country Mile are no strangers to the performing world, with over 75 years combined experience. This includes from playing in symphony orchestras to one man traveling bands.

Nashville-MCA Recording Artist Kip Moore
Singer-songwriter Kip Moore combines a raw and rustic voice with compelling lyrics of honesty to create a unique sound that's simultaneously hypnotic and edgy. His voice is weathered by life's detours and disappointments and strengthened by his dreams and determination. His music is infused with relentless intensity, both of passion and frustration.   Moore hails from Tifton, GA, but moved to Nashville to pursue a career in music. After four years of performing in Nashville, he caught the attention of Creative Artist Agency's Mark Dennis, who called Universal Music Group Nashville's Joe Fisher. Joe's encounter lead to his record deal with MCA Nashville, and the rest, as they say, is history.
