Has anybody been to this before?
How much are non-VIP tickets?
Is it so crowded that nobody goes anymore?



stay low boys. keep those feet moving. go be perfect.

We tried last year but weather messed things up.

I think it's either free stage or VIP.

waste of time. Can't believe the city is shutting down Main Street for this. If I was a business owner, I'd be pissed!

You don't think they don't want the extra business? I would believe this is being done there to bring in extra business. Is this the whole there's not enough parking down there thing?

How busy is it there on a non-gameday weekend?

Look, the former front man for The Eagles is just cranky that he wasn't part of the lineup!

He's still the frontman and sole original member.

Wow! Radney Foster is a big draw. This did not get publicized enough.

First I heard of it was at First Friday last weekend. They had some girl singing near the Bird Nest (other side).

There is an outside free stage and two inside VIP stages. VIP tickets are $264 iirc. I am confused by this business plan. Might drop by tonight for an hour or so after dinner to see what's what.

VIP wristbands at $500/couple which don't seem to include any food or drinks...this is "Bold strategy, Cotton!" territory.

I was thinking of doing the same thing but this pricing model is odd.

Plus, I've given all my entertainment dollars to Rush over the past few months so I'm not going to drop big money on country music.

One of the things that has proven out over the years in Aggieland is that a "socials only" ad campaign, while very cheap for the promoters, is ineffective in reality. Promoters/event panners do it because it is cheap. And it performs at cheap levels.

TV, radio, internet radio and popular websites are still 10000x more effective than "socials only"

I don't know how the songwriter festival advertised,

My comment was regarding if you want to keep up with events in Bryan and the local live music scene then follow them. Also you can sign up for weekly live music and calendar updates:

I listen to local radio to and from work every morning, and have never heard of this. I am not going to sign up for more email spam. The destination Bryan X account hasn't posted anything in 4 years. looks like the instagram account posted something 4 days ago. Not a very effective ad campaign.

I am not chronically on social media, so maybe I am not the target audience....except that the headliners include Radney Foster, Max Stalling, Owen Temple, and Bruce Robison, so maybe I am the target audience. Seems like advertising on Texas and Classic Country stations would be beneficial there.

I appreciate the OP for posting it on here, I definitely plan on heading out there.

We are here. Beat Root Revival on main stage was awesome, now at packed house at the Palace for Sean McConnell. Best part is the stories they tell in between songs about what inspired them.

Went to The Owl and had several drinks. Listened to Jamie Lin Wilson, Beat Root Revival, and Blue Water Revival. Wonderful night with a cool breeze. Btw- highly recommend Blue Water Revival.
