A week from tonight, the annual Country Thunder festival kicks off in Twin Lakes, Wisconsin.  The sold-out event will be co-hosted by GAC’s Storme Warren and Williams & Ree, and will feature two stages of music.

“I was at Country Thunder last year, and I got to see what everyone was talking about.  These festival fans are all about the music and the events happening throughout the day,” says Storme Warren, GAC Headline Country host.  “I am looking forward hitting that main stage with Williams & Ree!”

In addition to the two stages, new to the festival this year will be The Roys’ Pickin’ Porch – a bluegrass tent created to showcase traditional and contemporary bluegrass artists.

“We are so thrilled that Country Thunder is creating this new bluegrass tent, as it allows us to introduce our music and other bluegrass artists to an amazing audience of music lovers,” says Lee Roy of The Roys.
