On Saturday 6-19-10 the begining of what I hope will be a yearly event took place.I will be looking forward to many more Country Throwdown Festivals in Irvine California.
There was a fantastic lineup of some of the top names in Country music today. There were also several fantastic up and coming artists and song writers taking the stage in one of the 3 locations to play and entertain the crowd.
My focus here will be on the up and coming artists as they are most suited to this forum.
There was the “Bluebird Cafe” where the following groups of performers played.
