For 15 years, country mainstay Luke Bryan has been bringing legions of fans to farms across America for his annual “Farm Tour.”
Since its inception in 2009, more than 100,000 have attended each year. Gathered on fields in rural areas around the country, attendees have enjoyed music from Bryan and a slew of openers, enjoyed local vendors and visited lesser-traveled to areas of the country.
Bryan has also used “Farm Tour” to give back. To date, he’s awarded 84 college scholarships to students from farming families who are attending the local college or university near the tour stops. And when presenting sponsor Bayer joined the tour in 2015, Bryan was able to do even more with the #HerestotheFarmer campaign. Activating fans to share the hashtag provides one meal to a person in need per every share. Since the partnership’s inception, nine million meals have been donated to Feeding America member food banks.
Bryan wrapped the 2024 iteration of “Farm Tour” this weekend with shows in Shelbyville, Kentucky and Smithton, Pennsylvania. MusicRow attended the rainy Kentucky stop to check out all the fun.
Though bad weather was setting in from the beginnings of Hurricane Helene, fans were ready for country music. DJ Rock set the vibe as people filed in and breakout star Tucker Wetmore soon took the stage.
He impressed the crowd with his streaming heaters, “What Would You Do,” “Wine Into Whiskey” and “Wind Up Missin’ You,” and also played new song “Silverado Blue.”
