Turlock, CA— There are more, more and still more country music stars at the Stanislaus County fairgrounds—two amazing shows for great fun in the sun!   

Tanya Tucker’s incomparable vocal styling and soulful performances and The Bellamy Brothers highly individualistic style will take the Budweiser Variety Free Stage on Sunday, July 29 at 8:30 p.m. at this years’ Stanislaus County Fair.  The concert will be hosted by KAT Country 103.  All concerts are free with the price of Fair admission. 

“This Hall of Famer is a role model to many artists in the business, and it’s a great pleasure for me to announce Tanya Tucker in our lineup of great concerts,” said Pennie Rorex, fair spokesperson. “Plus, The Bellamy Brothers has a diverse group of fans of all ages.  They’re offering a little bit of something to everyone in the family.”  

Tanya Tucker has been called one of the finest song stylists in any genre. She is a singer who owns the patent on any song she sings and The Bellamy Brothers have been producing great music for more than 20 years.   Tanya Tucker’s string of hit albums along with singles, have earned hundreds of honors and awards and made her a legendary country music artist.  In 1991, she was named the Country Music Association’s Female Vocalist of the Year.  That following year she was Country Music Television’s Female Video Artist of the Year.  Tucker has also had her own hit reality show in 2006 “Welcome to Tuckerville” on The Learning Channel.

Averaging more than 250 world-wide dates per year, The Bellamy Brothers are one of the most active touring bands in the business.  The brothers are not only strong across North America, but their music has been accepted as a pop act in Germany, Norway, the U.K., Australia and Japan.   The duos’ ability to maintain the same sense of fun they began 20 years ago has earned The Bellamy Brothers nominations for Duo of the Year by the Country Music Association.  The Academy of Country Music has also recognized the brothers more than any pair in history.    

“We let the music speak,” said Howard Bellamy.  “We’ve gone with the idea that we’re going to have fun and the audience is too.  We’ve been known as the live act.”
