Next From Nashville Stage Returns

When festival goers aren’t jamming out their favorite country stars on the main stage, they can head over to the “Next From Nashville” stage and get to know some of Music’s City’s most promising new acts. Returning for yet another year at the festival, the second stage will highlight up-and-coming talent including Logan Crosby, Spencer Crandall, Karley Scott Collins, Thomas Edwards, Greylan James, Last Chance Band, Bryce Leatherwood, Owen Riegling, Shaylen, Lauren Watkins, Timothy Wayne and The Woods.

According to the latest post on the festival’s official Instagram, this year’s artists are just as excited as the fans to attend.

Logan Crosby wrote, “see y’all soon,” while Bryce Leatherwood said, “Yeah let’s get it 🔥” and Raelynn added, “LETS GOOOO.”

Watershed Music Festival has been ranked one of the best country music festivals in the U.S. and anyone who has attended understands why. On top of the incredible lineup of talent that gathers to showcase their hits and latest releases among the unbelievable scenery, many attendees view this weekend as their celebratory end-of-summer event. It has become such a staple for George, WA over the years that passes often sell out in minutes.
