Grammy Award-Winning Singer-Songwriter Carly Pearce to Headline 2024 Music Fiesta

July 30, 2024

Other performances by LOCASH and Kyle Martin & Co.

Albuquerque, NM – The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, powered by ExxonMobil, is pleased to announce its lineup for the 2024 Music Fiesta™, occurring the second Saturday of the event. The superstar lineup includes Grammy, CMA and ACM award winner Carly Pearce headlining the festival on Saturday, October 12. Kyle Martin & Co. will open the event, followed by a performance from the musical duo LOCASH.

Fiercely rooted in the classics, the girl who left her Kentucky home and high school at 16 to take a job at Dollywood has grown into a woman who embraces the genre’s forward progression. With the praised release of her critically acclaimed fourth album hummingbird, Grand Ole Opry and Kentucky Music Hall of Fame member Carly Pearce continues to resonate with her honest lyrics and timeless musicality. With songs such as “truck on fire,” the “swinging country revenge song” (The New York Times) that she debuted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and also performed on CMA Fest’s primetime special, and the GRAMMY® nominated Top 5 hit “we don’t fight anymore” (featuring Chris Stapleton), Pearce will head out on her hummingbird 2025 uk/eu tour in February, following her recent run of 45 sold-out shows as direct support on Tim McGraw’s Standing Room Only Tour.

Named “country music's iconic feel-good duo” by People, LOCASH–Preston Brust and Chris Lucas–are adding a new dimension to their hitmaking career with the launch of their own record label, Galaxy Label Group. With distribution by BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, LOCASH will continue “hitting homers and serving up first-class songs,” as hailed by American Songwriter. Known for PLATINUM breakout “I Love This Life” and GOLD #1’s “One Big Country Song” and “I Know Somebody, LOCASH has earned eight charting singles, two successful albums, nearly 800 million global streams, and holds a history of nods from the genre’s biggest awards shows since launching in 2015. Announcing their 2024 partnership with 44 Farms, LOCASH recently supported Kane Brown’s DRUNK OR DREAMING TOUR.

The opening act will be local artist Kyle Martin & Co. Kyle grew up in the deserts of South-Central New Mexico playing whiskey-soaked ‘Two Steppin’ music for people who worked hard & played harder. It’s in his blood. On the other hand, he has a ‘Rock n Roll’ side. Kyle developed a love for Rock music at an early age. Artists like Jerry Lee Lewis & Chuck Berry spoke to him. Later in life bands like Van Halen & ZZ Top were like supercharged freight trains of inspiration that he never forgot. Over the years he continued honing his craft until the two styles ultimately became one. Kyle now carves a musical path all his own playing a sub-genre he calls ‘Westrock’.

Tickets will go on sale on August 1, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. For more information visit https://balloonfiesta.com/Music-Fiesta.
