Pampafest Line-Up
Stoney Larue
Stoney LaRue is a cornerstone of the Red Dirt and Texas Country music scenes, celebrated for his heartfelt storytelling, powerful performances, and deep connection to his fans. Born in Taft, Texas, and raised in Yanush, Oklahoma, LaRue’s passion for music began early. His journey led him to Stillwater, Oklahoma, where he became immersed in the vibrant Red Dirt music scene alongside influential artists like Jason Boland and Cody Canada. Together, they helped define the raw, soulful sound that Red Dirt is known for today. Inspired by legends like Woody Guthrie, Bob Childers, and Mike McClure, LaRue has built a career rooted in blending heartfelt lyrics with raw emotion and genre-defying creativity.
Over the years, LaRue has released a string of critically acclaimed albums that have cemented his reputation as one of the most respected voices in his genre. His 2011 album Velvet marked a turning point, debuting at No. 15 on the U.S. Country charts and No. 5 on the U.S. Indie charts. Produced by Frank Liddell, Velvet showcased LaRue’s introspective side, exploring themes of self-discovery with lush production. In 2014, he released Aviator, a bold and cohesive album that debuted at No. 17 on the U.S. Country charts and earned praise as a career-defining project for its signature laid-back Texoma sound. The 2015 release Us Time, a collection of fan favorites, covers, and new material, further highlighted LaRue’s heartfelt connection to his audience, debuting at No. 22 on the U.S. Country charts. His 2019 album Onward, produced by Gary Nicholson, reflected his growth as an artist with a message of resilience and optimism, showcasing his ability to evolve while staying true to his roots.
Known for his electrifying live performances, LaRue’s shows are an unforgettable experience, bringing fans together through his powerful stage presence and emotional connection. Whether performing classics from The Red Dirt Album or newer favorites like Velvet and Aviator, LaRue creates a profound bond with his audience, earning him a devoted following that spans generations. Among his celebrated live recordings are Live at Billy Bob’s Texas, which became a fan-favorite, and Double Live 25, a 2020 release featuring over two hours of authentic live performances from his concerts. Compiled during the Covid-19 touring pause, Double Live 25 captures the raw energy of LaRue’s live shows and includes staples like “Feet Don’t Touch The Ground,” “Oklahoma Breakdown,” and “One Chord Song.” It’s available on iTunes and all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, and Tidal.
For venues and fans alike, Stoney LaRue delivers an unparalleled combination of artistry and passion, making him a must-see performer.
Kevin Fowler
Kevin Fowler has found a way to live the dream - by earning it. It’s never been an easy or short road, but it’s a path he wouldn’t trade and has positioned him as one of the most consistent artists, in any genre, of the last two decades. His musical journey began playing in rock bands before finding his footing as a solo act in the early 2000s in his home state of Texas, where he burst onto the scene with the celebrated album Beer Bait and Ammo - a mainstay for fans to this day. And while his songs have been covered by Country Music mainstays such as George Jones, Mark Chesnutt, Montgomery Gentry, Sammy Kershaw and others – Kevin’s versions of these songs are feelgood classics that rival the most well-known and memorable songs of any of his contemporaries. Fowler released nine additional albums over the following years after Beer Bait and Ammo, including his most recent solo effort 2019’s Barstool Stories produced by Trent Wilmon and the collaborative project with Roger Creager- the self titled Dos Borrachos. Fowler is currently in the process of writing and recording new music.
