Rodney Atkins has charted at least one radio single at Country Radio in three different decades all while being on the same record label (Curb Records). That sort of commitment
and longevity defines the man. He is an artist with multi-generational impact whose voice has been a mainstay at Country Radio, challenging all of us to be better no matter our age – parents who are now grandparents, and adults who first heard Rodney while eating a Happy Meal in their booster seat.
The ACM Award-winning artist – who has one of the most recognized and powerful voices in Country Music –
has over 4 billion global streams; six number one radio singles; 16.5 million RIAA-certified units over 9 singles and 3 albums; has performed on NBC’s TODAY Show, GMA’s Strahan &
Sara, and FOX & Friends; and his song “Watching You” was named Number One Song of the Decade by Country Aircheck and earned the songwriter a BMI “Million-Air” Award.
Through the hell we all inevitably go through at some point in life, Atkins has cemented mega-hits in our hearts and minds that help us remain focused on those who matter most.
The superstar, who is more interested in connecting with loyal fans and supporting the United States Military than grabbing headlines, is putting his masterful finishing touches on
new music that will begin to release in late 2024 and early 2025, beginning with first song, “True South,” on November 22, 2024.

Rodeo Events
Witness the ultimate test of courage and strength as cowboys attempt to stay mounted on a bucking bull for a full eight seconds. This adrenaline-pumping event is a crowd favorite, showcasing the intense battle between man and beast.
Speed and precision are on full display in barrel racing, where cowgirls race against the clock, weaving through a cloverleaf pattern of barrels. The fastest time wins, making this a fast-paced and exciting event for all ages.
Combining elements of both skill and style, saddle bronc riding involves riders trying to stay atop a bucking horse using a specialized saddle. Points are awarded for both the rider's control and the horse's bucking performance.
Similar to saddle bronc riding but without the saddle, bareback bronc riding is one of the most physically demanding events. Cowboys must rely solely on their grip and balance to stay on the horse, making for an intense spectacle.
Also known as "bulldogging," steer wrestling involves a cowboy leaping from his horse onto a running steer and wrestling it to the ground. This event requires remarkable strength and technique and is always a crowd pleaser.
A true test of teamwork and coordination, team roping pairs two cowboys (a header and a heeler) who work together to catch and immobilize a steer. The header ropes the steer's horns, while the heeler ropes its hind legs, all in a matter of seconds.
The youngest rodeo enthusiasts get their chance to shine in mutton bustin'. Children hold on tight as they ride sheep out of the chute, aiming to stay on for as long as possible. This adorable and entertaining event is always a hit with families.
Providing comic relief and ensuring the safety of participants, rodeo clowns play a vital role in the rodeo. Their hilarious antics and daring distractions keep the audience entertained and help protect riders from agitated animals.
