Bruce Kalmick, co-founder of Cattle Country Festival, tells MusicRow, “Cattle Country is a really special music festival, and year two was no exception. Folks came from all over the world to spend their weekend camping, swimming in the beautiful Guadalupe River, and enjoying some of the best music under the Texas Sky. One couple even flew all the way in from Ireland! We are so grateful for the artists, guests and brands alike who travel to the little town of Gonzales, Texas. It’s like friends and family coming together again, a true testament to the spirit of what this festival is all about.”

The ranch transformed into a weekend oasis, fostering camaraderie among attendees and those who camped and stayed the entire weekend, with many of the musicians joining in on the fun as well. From tailgating to swimming in the Guadalupe River, the festivities began before the first act took the stage and continued after the headliner’s final bow.
