            Marty Stuart’s musical legacy involves much more than his six top-10 hits, platinum album, five gold albums and four Grammy Awards. He is a country music torchbearer who has explored many musical avenues and has collaborated on many roots-music projects with icons from Bob Dylan to Lester Flatt. True music fans always deeply appreciate Stuart’s musical contributions and respects for American music and its history. The Ruidoso Downs concert is an opportunity to experience Stuart’s incredible show and musical legacy.

            Lonestar’s musical legacy is tied to modern-day classics like "Amazed," "I'm Already There," and "My Front Porch Looking In," heartfelt anthems to family, love and fidelity. At the same time, they made a name for themselves rocking out with across-the-board hits of the first order like "No News", "What About Now" and "You Walked In". When Lonestar rocks the Ruidoso Downs stage on the Fourth of July weekend there will be a concert that fans will never forget.

            Cross Canadian Ragweed is the band that country-music insiders have been raving about and they are, finally, getting the recognition they’ve earned. Their fourth studio album, titled “Mission California,” charted at number six on Billboard’s top country albums chart and number 30 on the Billboard top 100 chart.

            For the past several weeks Cross Canadian Ragweed has played a string of sold-out shows drawing crowds of up to 10,000 and 15,000 people a night. The band and Mission California are earning high praise from tough critics. USA Today claims the band “…is one of the better-kept secrets around.”
