State
Fair Offers Hit List of Free Entertainment
Posted 13 August 2010
The 2010 Iowa State
Fair free stage entertainment is packed with this year’s hottest acts
from all music genres. The line-up features some of the nation’s
biggest stars, all free with gate admission. The Fair is set for “Non
Stop Fun” August 12-22.
Some of country music’s favorite names are set to appear, including
Jake Owen (“Eight Second Ride”), Love & Theft (“Runaway”), Colt
Ford (”Chicken and Biscuits”) and David Nail (“Red Light”) as well as
rising stars like Whitney Duncan, Bomshel, and Justin Moore. The
Academy of Country Music named Owen Top New Male Vocalist in 2009
following the release of his album, “Startin’ with Me.”
Opening night will feature a special concert by country music star Lee
Greenwood. Greenwood is known for his unique voice, insightful
songwriting and enthusiastic patriotism coupled with his first major
single “God Bless the USA.” Greenwood takes the Jacobson Exhibition
Center stage at 7 p.m.
Oldies fans will find their favorite acts in all genres performing each
night on the Budweiser Stage, including rock legends The Family Stone,
The Buckinghams, Atlanta Rhythm Section, Ides of March featuring Jim
Peterik, and Davy Jones of The Monkees. In addition, Think Floyd USA,
critically acclaimed as a “must see” for Pink Floyd fans, will take
audiences on a musical and visual flight through the Pink Floyd galaxy,
complete with a light show at the Anderson Erickson Dairy Stage.
Fans of 80s and 90s music can look forward to 80s hair band
impersonation act Hairball as well as hip hop legends Vanilla Ice (”Ice
Ice Baby”) and Tone Loc (“Wild Thing”), who will take to the Anderson
Erickson Dairy Stage together on Sunday, August 15. Vanilla Ice rose to
hip hop stardom following the release of the single “Ice Ice Baby,” in
1989 which sold over 17 million copies and was the first hip hop single
to ever top the Billboard Charts.
Extreme Sunday shows include rising country music stars The Eli Young
Band (“Always the Love Songs”), classic rock band The Grass Roots
(“Let’s Live For Today”), and Fair-favorite Richie Lee and the Fabulous
Fifties. This year The Eli Young Band was nominated for an Academy of
Country Music award for Top New Vocal Group or Duo and their song,
“Always the Love Songs” reached the 11th spot on the Billboard Charts.
Fair and local favorites Vocal Trash, Jason Brown, The Nadas, The Blue
Band and Sioux City Rockestra also appear on the free entertainment
schedule.
