4th Annual Colorado Prairie Music Festival
2020-08-08 | CO
2020 Colorado Prairie Music Festival Postponed until August 7, 2021
Hugo, COLO.- July 21, 2020- Colorado Prairie Arts and Music Council (CPAM), the non-profit organization that produces the Colorado Prairie Music Festival, has come to a difficult decision. After months of perseverance, multiple plans and compromise in the name of avoiding the postponement of the 4th year of real country music on the plains of Eastern Colorado, the five-person board has made the decision to postpone their much-anticipated concert on August 8 at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds.
The 2020 show, hosted at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds on the last night of the Lincoln County Fair, was slated to bring country music super-star, Aaron Watson. Initially, the team created plans enacting COVID-19 precautions, allotting for 28 feet per attendee, an extra stage, several beer and food vendor locations for enhanced ability to reduce line sizes, and a rigorous sanitation schedule. However, amid an increasingly divided public, increasing virus case counts and pressure at the state level to mandate mask-wearing and social distancing with potential implications for local businesses and governmental entities the CPAM team decided it was in the best interest of its supporters that the concert at its current scope be rescheduled for next summer.
Chris Huelskamp, CPAM Chair said “Our board put in countless hours of work and fought passionately for this event over the past few months, we realize that people need something to look forward to, and we wanted our concert to be that event. However, we are a fairly new organization and had to consider factors like fiduciary responsibility and most importantly the health of our county residents. Ultimately the deciding factor was the desire to put on the best event possible where everyone could enjoy live music and enjoy themselves without repercussions; living up to the standard we have created for the Colorado Prairie Music Festival over the past four years, our fans and Aaron Watson fans deserve the best show we can put on and we just can’t do it right this year.”
The good news is that Aaron Watson has already been booked for next year and will be rocking the open-air livestock barn at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds in Hugo, CO on Saturday, August 7, 2021.

Colorado Prairie Music Festival Wraps Up on Aug. 10
with Ned LeDoux & Randall King

Country Music and a small-town county fair come together under Western Skies at the Lincoln County Fair.

HUGO, Colo. (July 10, 2019) — Country musicians Ned LeDoux and Randall King will conclude the third annual Colorado Prairie Music Festival in style on Aug. 10 in Hugo, Colorado. Get a taste of Colorado’s Eastern Plains while taking in this boot stompin’ concert that wraps up the 124th annual Lincoln County Fair & Rodeo in style.

Lincoln County Fair & Rodeo – Small-Town Americana
Make a day (or several) of it with free admission to the Lincoln County Fair & Rodeo, Aug. 5 to 10, full of fun activities for all ages, small-town style. Before the concert on Aug. 10, expect bounce houses, obstacle courses, food booths, unique vendors, horse races and two performances of the Colorado Professional Rodeo Association (CPRA) Rodeo displaying the talent and bravery of some of the state’s finest cowboys and cowgirls. Plus, there is a morning parade, VFW and Shriners Band concert at noon, and the always entertaining mutton bustin’

Colorado Prairie Music Festival – Ned LeDoux & Randall King
Stick around on Aug. 10 for authentic country music from two of the best in the industry, Ned LeDoux and Randall King, starting at 7 p.m. Their songs and sounds are traditional but are blazing a trail through the new country scene. Tickets are just $30, and kids 12 and under are admitted for $5.

Headliner Ned LeDoux, son of the late rodeo and country music icon Chris LeDoux, is keeping the cowboy in country, playing many of his dad’s hits and pumping energy into the genre with his own songwriting. Growing up on a ranch in Wyoming and becoming a drummer in his dad Chris’ band Western Underground in 1998 at age 21, Ned knew from an early age that music would be his focus, no back-up plan needed.
When Chris dad passed away in 2005, Ned continued to tour with his father’s band to keep the musical spirit of Chris LeDoux alive. This drove him to pick up the guitar and try his hand at some of his dad’s songs. When the other band members heard Ned’s voice, he found himself front and center singing at shows. Since then, Ned has been steadily touring, headlining concerts, opening for acts like Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, Aaron Watson and Brother’s Osborne and releasing his first full-length album, Sagebrush, in 2017.

Humble beginnings, a cultivated work ethic and the influences of classic country legends are at the core of opening act Randall King, a singer-songwriter from the plains of west Texas. Many of King’s songs are written and inspired by his deep southern heritage and family roots, and his music reflects honesty, conviction and authenticity.

There is free camping available at Lincoln County Fairgrounds in Hugo (15 miles southeast of Limon off Interstate 70), location of all the happenings, and a variety of other lodging options in the area. The concert will take place at the brand new covered Livestock Barn. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit www.coloradoprairiemusicfest.com.
