This won't the only music at Dorton Arena during the fair. Organizers announced earlier this year that the State Fair Folk Festival is moving from a large tent behind the Kerr Scott Building to perform free shows at Dorton.
There will also be live music outside each day at the Waterfall Stage and Heritage Circle.
