Wednesday night will once again feature the top cowboys on the circuit in the CINCH Shootout. This exciting event is invitation-only for the cowboys and brings many World Champions to the Tri-State Rodeo to compete for over $120,000 in prize money. This event is sponsored by CINCH Jeans and begins at 7 p.m. sharp.

The PRCA action will start on Thursday with rodeo performances beginning at 7 p.m. The rodeo competition will be followed by the compelling Jake McVey. McVey combines his upbeat music and youthful enthusiasm with a seasoned eye for reading the crowd. With a loyal fan base, McVey will be sure to please the crowd with his fiery stage show and arsenal of ear-grabbing songs.

Friday evening’s PRCA rodeo performance begins at 7:30 p.m. and will be followed by country singer songwriter, Randy Houser. Houser brings his musical talents to life with “Like a Cowboy”, and “How Country Feels”. You will be sure to feel the country as his soulful voice fills the arena.

Saturday night’s entertainment also gets underway at 7:30 p.m. with the PRCA rodeo performers taking center stage. Once the dust has settled from the cowboy competition the arena will come alive with ACM award-winner Jake Owen. Owen has six number one singles under his belt including “Barefoot Blue Jean Night”, “Beachin”, “Anywhere with You”, “Alone with You”, “The One that Got Away”, “American Country Love Song”. No artist is more adept at summoning those times when a sunny day, good friends and maybe a cold drink were all you needed to feel forever blessed. Owen will thrill the crowd with songs from his soon to be released new album, including the single “I Was Jack (You Were Diane)”

Local favorites, Stump Town will close out each night of the Tri-State Rodeo in the Coors Party Pavilion.

We are proud to once again earn a spot on the CINCH Shootout circuit, bringing the best cowboys in the country to compete at the Tri-State Rodeo. Jake McVey has a strong fan base in the Tri-State area and we are excited to welcome him to the main stage in the arena on Thursday night. Randy Houser continues to keep country music alive and well and I know fans of all ages will enjoy his show following the Friday night PRCA action. And of course we couldn’t be more pleased to bring award-winning Jake Owen to the main stage on Saturday night. His long list of No. 1 hits will not disappoint our country music fans. Every night of the Tri-State Rodeo will have something for audiences of all ages to enjoy, so we hope to see you there,” said Josh Denning, General Chairman, Tri-State Rodeo.
