Turner’s new album is aptly titled “Country State of Mind.” From the very start
of his career through chart-topping hits like “Your Man,” “Would You Go With Me,”
“Why Don’t We Just Dance,” and “All Over Me,” Turner has immersed himself in
country music’s history and its iconic figures.
Later, as the hits came, along with multiple GRAMMY, CMA, and ACM
nominations, Turner joined the Grand Ole Opry. One of country music’s oldest and
most hallowed traditions, the Opry once counted Hank Williams Sr., Johnny Cash,
and George Jones among its ranks; now, Turner shares membership with heroes
like Randy Travis, Alan Jackson, and Patty Loveless, as well as Chris Janson.

We are working to ensure that 4thFest 2021 is a safe outdoor celebration that aligns with health guidelines. With ample space to spread out, increasing
COVID-19 vaccinations in our community, and careful planning, we are excited to provide a way for our community to safely come together in person.
Additional details about guidelines will be released closer to the events.
Your responsibilities: If you attend 4thFest, follow public health guidelines for mask wearing, keeping a distance between households, washing hands,
and adhering to any other current precautions. If you are not feeling well or have had contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 in the
