Campbell is one of country music’s hippest neo-tradionalist. One of the most successful new artists of 2011, his debut album Craig Campbell spawned the hits “Family Man,” “Fish,” and “When I Get It.” The second album, Never Regret (2013), climbed the charts with hits “Keep Them Kisses Comin'” and “Outta My Head.”
The Craig Campbell album earned rave reviews from USA Today, Associated Press, People and The Washington Post. His songs have been featured in HBO’s “True Blood”, and he has been nominated by fans for two American Country Awards, as well as has won SESAC songwriting awards.
Campbell will be joined by special guest SmithField, a contemporary country duo comprised of vocalists Trey Smith and Jennifer Fiedler.
