With Stagecoach 2018 right around the corner (this weekend actually!) We are so excited for all of the talented acts that are going to be performing during the three day country music festival.
Here are a few of the line-ups acts that you may not know too much about yet but that you won’t want to miss throughout the weekend!
Auburn Road
Continuing to bring hot new talent to the festival, Stagecoach 2018 has invited Auburn Road to join the ranks of Tegan Marie and Temecula Road as this year’s newcomers. Pop-Country-Americana, trio Auburn Road are, Alicia Paulson, Paxton Martin and Kristen Brown.
These three life-long friends are staying true to their country roots but also daring to push the boundaries of the modern genre. With a tell-all, attitude-filled songwriting approach and feisty personalities they are sure to crash through the stereotypes with three voices that blend perfectly together. They self-released their debut “Fancy” in their senior year of high school, graduated, and have since been busy playing shows, writing and recording songs for their upcoming EP series Mustang Vol. 1 and Mustang Vol. 2.
Taking the destiny of their career in their own hands they funded the upcoming releases through their touring, merchandise sales and a preorder campaign on PledgeMusic.
