The 37th annual Heart of Texas Country Music Festival returns to Brady, Texas from March 19-28 with a full slate of traditional country favorites, led by T. Graham Brown on March 20 and The Malpass Brothers on March 21 at the Brady Civic Center. Brown will deliver signature hits including “Hell and High Water,” “Don’t Go to Strangers,” and “Darlene,” while The Malpass Brothers bring harmony-rich classics and vintage country flair to the weekend lineup.
The multi-day festival features 24 shows and dances, more than 30 entertainers, open jam sessions, the Darrell McCall and Friends Golf Tournament, and the Heart of Texas Steel Guitar Show. A ribbon-cutting for the expanded Heart of Texas Country Music Museum will also take place March 21, unveiling a new 6,300-square-foot addition that includes expanded exhibits, a larger gift shop and a live performance space.
Additional artists on this year’s bill include Dottsy, Tony Booth, Darrell McCall, Kay Adams, Justin Trevino, Jeannie C. Riley, Amber Digby, Billy Mata and Texas Tradition, and many more. The event continues to draw fans from across the United States and internationally, reinforcing its reputation as one of the premier gatherings for traditional country music enthusiasts.
