Country Music Joins Forces: Southern Entertainment Teams Up with Opry Entertainment Group

Southern Entertainment, a live events company known for country music festivals like Carolina Country Music Fest and Barefoot Country Music Fest, has partnered with Opry Entertainment Group (OEG). This deal isn't just about money; it's about combining strengths to create even better experiences for music lovers. Founders Bob Durkin and Rob Pedlow started Southern Entertainment in 2015 and have since hosted over 200 events across the U. S. OEG, on the other hand, is famous for iconic venues like the Grand Ole Opry and the Ryman Auditorium. Together, they plan to do more than just put on shows. They want to help new artists shine. One exciting project is the Field & Stream Outdoor Music Fest, happening this October in Winnsboro, S. C. With headliners like Eric Church and Miranda Lambert, this festival is more than just music; it's a celebration of the outdoors. Think fishing, hiking, and mountain biking, all wrapped up in a unique festival experience. Both companies share a passion for helping new artists grow. With this partnership, Southern Entertainment will now integrate OEG's artist development programs into their festivals. This means more opportunities for upcoming artists to perform alongside big names.
