2015 MontanaFair turns to country music on Sunday August 9, with one of the most powerful and recognized female voices in the history of the genre.
Martina McBride has been awarded 14 Gold Records, nine Platinum honors, three Double Platinum Records, two Triple Platinum awards, and sold over 18 million units. The Country Music Association has named her its Female Vocalist of the Year four times and the Academy of Country Music has presented her with its Top Female honor three times. The Recording Academy has nominated her for 14 Grammy Awards.
She first made the country charts in 1992. Her hit records since then have included such enduring classics as “Wild Angels,” “Safe in the Arms of Love,” “Wrong Again,” “Blessed,” “My Baby Loves Me,” “Life #9,” “Love’s the Only House,” “Whatever You Say,” “Where Would You Be,” “In My Daughter’s Eyes,” “When God Fearin’ Women Get the Blues” and “A Broken Wing.” To date, she has had 20 top-10 hits and six No. 1 smashes. As a result, Martina McBride is ranked as the most played woman vocalist on country radio between 1999 and 2010.
McBride will headline the Sunday show at Rimrock Auto Arena August 9. It’s her first trip back to Billings since a performance in 2006.
Brett Eldredge is the latest CMA winner to take the stage at MontanaFair with Martina McBride August 9.
Eldredge had his third consecutive number one song when “Mean To Me” climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart. The only country artist cited as one of People Magazine’s “Ones To Watch,” Eldredge enjoyed recent performances on Today, Live with Kelly & Michael, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Myers, Eldredge will be joining Darius Rucker on his Southern Style tour before his trip to MontanaFair.
The 2015 MontanaFair will include three nights of PRCA Rodeo with the Yellowstone River Roundup, a great night of Supercross, the Mighty Thomas Carnival, fireworks, and the largest indoor beer garden in Montana among this year’s features.
