FairWell Festival: Turnpike Troubadours Gary Clark Jr. & Morgan Wade - Friday in Redmond, OR

West Virginian singer-songwriter Charles Wesley Godwin is known for his personal storytelling in country music. His acclaimed album, Family Ties, and EP, Lonely Mountain Town, showcase his diary-like songwriting. Collaborating with Al Torrence, ERNEST, and Scott Avett, Godwin is praised for thrilling live performances with his band, Allegheny High. He has appeared on ESPN’s SportsCenter, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and performed at Stagecoach and Bonnaroo.

Austin-born Gary Clark Jr., a versatile guitarist/vocalist known for blending blues-rock with funk, hard rock, and hip-hop, won a Grammy for his album *Blak and Blu*. He's collaborated with Alicia Keys, Foo Fighters, and Eric Clapton, and opened for the Rolling Stones. His politically charged *This Land* earned four Grammy nominations. Clark’s dynamic career includes notable performances, film scores, and collaborations with John Legend and Tom Morello.

Turnpike Troubadours, from Oklahoma, blend Woody Guthrie's folk and Waylon Jennings' honky tonk with bluegrass and Cajun. Popular for "Goodbye Normal Street," they hit country and rock charts, and sold out arenas. After a hiatus, they returned with 2023's "A Cat in the Rain," produced by Shooter Jennings. They’ve shared the stage with Miranda Lambert and Little Big Town.
