Bradley 315 Festival with Eddie Montgomery and Alabama

Eddie Montgomery, born in Kentucky, is celebrated for his rowdy and heartfelt country music. With hits like "Hillbilly Shoes," he boasts five No. 1 singles, a Grand Ole Opry membership, and a Kentucky Music Hall of Fame induction as part of Montgomery Gentry.

Alabama, formed by cousins Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry, and Jeff Cook, revived country bands in the late '70s with a blend of country and rock. The band, rooted in Alabama, gained fame with hits like "Tennessee River" and achieved 27 number-one singles in the '80s. They secured multiple awards and had seven multi-platinum albums. Alabama's signature sound and remarkable success, particularly with their seamless harmonies and crossover appeal, set a high bar in country music. Their influence continues, even after multiple reunions and the passing of band member Jeff Cook.
