The inaugural STOMP AND HOLLER lineup was intentionally curated to reflect the festival's mission of showcasing authentic artists, powerful storytellers, and some of the most exciting performers working in roots, Americana, country, folk, and Southern rock today. BLACKBERRY SMOKE has spent more than two decades building one of the most loyal fan bases in American music. Known for combining Southern rock, country, blues, and Americana influences, the Atlanta-based band has become a festival favorite across the country with songs like "One Horse Town," "Waiting for the Thunder," and "Good One Comin' On." Their reputation for unforgettable live performances makes them a fitting headliner for the inaugural STOMP AND HOLLER.
IAN MUNSICK has quickly become one of country music's fastest-rising stars. His blend of modern country and authentic Western influences has earned him a passionate following through songs such as "Long Live Cowgirls" and "Horses Are Faster." His energetic live performances have made him one of the genre's most in-demand emerging headliners.
THE WAR AND TREATY have become one of the most celebrated acts in Americana and country music. Michael and Tanya Trotter's powerful harmonies and emotional performances have captivated audiences around the world while earning critical acclaim across multiple genres.
PRISCILLA BLOCK has emerged as one of country music's most relatable and entertaining artists. Known for songs like "Just About Over You" and "My Bar," she brings authenticity, personality, and an undeniable connection with fans.
MORE THAN A MUSIC FESTIVAL
Festival organizers emphasize that STOMP AND HOLLER is much more than a concert. Guests can expect two stages of live music, primitive camping, RV camping, craft beer, unique food offerings, campground after-party entertainment, vendors, artisan experiences, and activities throughout the festival grounds.
"We didn't want to build just another festival," said Heath Eric, CEO of The Eric Group. "We wanted to create an experience. We wanted something that felt authentic. Something that felt personal. Something where fans could spend an entire weekend immersed in incredible music, outdoor experiences, camping, and community."
AN EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE
Eric says one of the festival's defining features is its commitment to affordability.
"We've watched festival pricing across America become increasingly difficult for everyday families and music fans," Eric said. "Many major festivals now cost hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars before you've even bought food, drinks, camping, or parking. That's not what we're doing."
"We believe a world-class festival should be accessible. We're offering free parking. We're working hard to keep food and beverage prices reasonable. We're offering exceptional artists and experiences at an incredibly affordable price point, without compromising quality.”
Eric pointed to the Early Bird pricing as perhaps the best entertainment value available anywhere in the region.
"A two-day festival pass for $99.50 with this lineup is honestly unbelievable," Eric said. "Blackberry Smoke. Ian Munsick. The War and Treaty. Priscilla Block. Plus all of these incredible supporting artists, camping, activities, and experiences. If you're a music fan, I don't know how you pass that up."
"At the end of the day, we're helping kids, helping our community, and giving people an unforgettable weekend. That's a win for everybody."
A FESTIVAL WITH PURPOSE
Proceeds from STOMP AND HOLLER will directly benefit the Cliff Hagan Boys and Girls Club and the Beaver Dam Foundation.
Ryan Bibb, COO of the Cliff Hagan Boys and Girls Club, says the event's impact will extend far beyond festival weekend.
"The need for youth services continues to grow throughout Western Kentucky," Bibb said. "Every day we see children and families who benefit from mentorship, educational support, safe environments, and positive opportunities. Events like STOMP AND HOLLER help make those programs possible."
"We're incredibly grateful to be part of this festival and excited about the lives that will be impacted because of it."
Mayor Paul Sandefur believes the event represents another major step forward for Beaver Dam.
"Beaver Dam Amphitheater has become one of the premier outdoor entertainment destinations in Kentucky," Sandefur said. "STOMP AND HOLLER builds on that success while creating new economic opportunities for our community."
"This event will fill hotel rooms, support restaurants, generate tourism spending, and showcase Beaver Dam to visitors from across the country. It represents growth, development, and investment in our future. A portion of every ticket sold goes directly to the Cliff Hagan Boys & Girls Club to support programs for youth in our communities. That’s impact.”
Jeff Renfrow, Executive Director of Beaver Dam Tourism, expects the festival to attract visitors from well beyond Kentucky.
"We've seen firsthand how people travel great distances to attend events at The DAM," Renfrow said. "This lineup gives people another compelling reason to visit Beaver Dam."
"The tourism impact will be significant. Visitors will come from multiple states, stay for the weekend, and experience everything our community has to offer. That's exactly the kind of economic activity we're excited to support."
JUST THE BEGINNING
Organizers say the inaugural year is only the first chapter.
"We're intentionally starting with a manageable, exceptional festival experience," Eric said. "We're focused on quality over quantity."
"We have surprises planned. We have experiences that haven't been announced yet. We have activities planned throughout the grounds. We have campground after-party programming. We have things that will make people smile, laugh, connect, create memories, STOMP, HOLLER, and have a DAM GOOD TIME!”
"Our vision is to grow STOMP AND HOLLER into one of the premier boutique music festivals in America while never losing sight of what makes it special."
