Country Thunder Florida 2023 climaxed at Osceola Heritage Park in the Orlando suburb of Kissimmee, Florida on October 22, 2023. Day 3 of the festival had something for everyone. Keith Urban, Carly Pearce, Bailey Zimmerman, Parmalee, Tracy Byrd and Chase Matthew provided a Sunday full of magical musical moments.

Keith Urban proved his enduring star power. Urban has the songs, the looks and the guitar wizardry. He is a true entertainer. Carly Pearce proved that she too will be around for a long time. Pearce weaved several excellent brand new songs into her set list, which was already filled with blockbusters, including “Hide The Wine”, “Every Little Thing”, “What He Didn’t Do” and “I Hope You’re Happy Now”. She left everyone happy, thrilled to be a part of such a special performance.

Bailey Zimmerman showed why he is one of the most exciting new artists in country music. His energy, passion and faith were all on full display. He challenged everyone to follow their heart and dreams, noting that only a few years ago he was building a gas pipeline, and now he is playing main stages and being nominated for awards. Zimmerman crushed his set, which included 3 #1 singles – “Fall In Love”, “Rock and a Hard Place” and “Religiously”. Chase Matthew also showed that the future of country music is in good hands. He played a great set, highlighted by “Come Get Your Memory” and “County Line”.

Tracy Byrd brought some classic country to the mix, adding his chill vibe to an easy Sunday afternoon. Parmalee also provided a smooth sound, which went down easy under the hot sun.

Country Thunder Florida 2023 continued at Osceola Heritage Park in the Orlando suburb of Kissimmee, Florida on October 21, 2023. Day 2 of this outstanding festival featured HARDY, Kip Moore, Lonestar, Cooper Alan, Hailey Whitters, The Reklaws and The Washboard Union. HARDY drew the largest, loudest and youngest crowd of the weekend, proving that the future of country music is bright. He put on an incredible performance, using lighting, videos and most importantly, and endless supply of great songs.

The Washboard Union started early, playing in the hot Florida sun. Midway through song 2, the stage power dropped, but these consummate professionals simply went acoustic, strolling out on the long catwalk and playing directly to the fans. Eventually the power was restored and they completed their set. The same thing happened to Tik Tok sensation Cooper Alan. He also quickly asked for an acoustic guitar and began asking the crowd for cover song suggestions. He was a natural at that, particularly on Nickelback’s “Rock Star.”

The legendary Lonestar showcased sweet harmonies and heartfelt love songs. The Reklaws are a sibling duo from Ontario, Canada. Jenna and Stuart Walker are a bit like the stars of Letterkenny, with entertaining songs about drinking beer and having fun.

Hailey Whitters showed why she is one of the brightest rising stars in country music. She performs in an old school style, with great songs such as “I’m In Love”, “Everything She Ain’t” and “All The Cool Girls”. Kip Moore has a bit of a rock edge, sounding somewhat like Bon Jovi, and his lighting and sound were dark and moody.

Country Thunder Florida 2023 kicked off at Osceola Heritage Park in the Orlando suburb of Kissimmee, Florida on October 20, 2023. Day 1 of this outstanding festival showcased Cody Johnson, Parker McCollum, Jo Dee Messina, Shane Profitt, Josh Ross and Charly Reynolds.

Cody Johnson was spectacular, delivering great songs and messages of resilience and hope. Johnson is a true headliner who entertained throughout the night, culminating in a stirring rendition of consensus song of the year, “‘Til You Can’t”. Rising star Parker McCollum was an electric support act, cranking out several hits, including the clever “Handle On You”.

Jo Dee Messina continued her resurgence, helped along by the massive success of Cole Swindell’s “She Had Me At Heads Carolina”. Fans were treated to 2 versions of the original classic “Heads Carolina, Tails California”. After getting through most of her set, Messina suddenly lost her singing voice. She apologized to the crowd, and had her band play the song again, with her backup singer taking lead, as she signed every hat, boot and sign that she could. It was a pro move by a class act, which was well received.

Shane Profitt and his band put on a great show, featuring catchy tunes like “How It Oughta Be” and “Better Off Fishin'”. Josh Ross had plenty of hits of his own, including “Ain’t The One”, “Trouble” and “Red Flags”. Orlando’s own Charly Reynolds got things going with a non-stop set of songs you oughta know, highlighted by “Rodeo”, “Flowers”, “Sand Bar” and her cover of “Neon Moon”.
