"His dynamic stage presence and ability to connect with audiences make him a must-see act," according to festival organizers.

Kevin Fowler, a Texas country music powerhouse, is known for his chart-topping hits like "Beer, Bait & Ammo," "Hard Man to Love," and "How Country Are Ya?" Fowler's performance is at 2 p.m. March 1 on the Corona Extra Stage and organizers said it could be a highlight of the festival.
