“I’m real excited, I’m in line to meet Big and Rich,” said Livingston. John Rich of Big & Rich and Cowboy Troy spent over an hour signing autographs and taking pictures with fans.
They were just as excited to meet the fans and even did a live interview with News13 on Saturday night, “I’m glad Myrtle Beach is hosting this festival…some of the greatest country music fans are right here in myrtle beach and we can wait to play for them tonight,” said Rich.
Doddi Aldridge lives in Myrtle Beach, she says the festival is just what the area needs, “we’re managers and rely on tourists here and this brings in tourists. Plus we love the music and all the traffic.”
