Kicking off the show on Friday, July 10th, will be South Dakota native singer Weston Frank. You probably have seen him at State Fairs and even the World's Only Corn Palace.

Next on stage is a country singer who has "Southern vibes with big TikTok buzz." Say hello to Graham Barham! Some songs of his include "Whisky, Whiskey" and "Buckshot."

Right before Darius Rucker takes the stage, rising country singer Braxton Keith will give you a show full of "throwback-tonk with a sharp, barbed-wire vocal." One of his biggest inspirations is country singer Tracy Lawrence. He's a proud Texas man!

Finally, Darius Rucker will take the stage, giving you a night of nostalgia! From Hootie and the Blowfish to "Wagon Wheel," "Beers and Sunshine," and "Alright," Darius Rucker will be playing all your favorites!

The 10 Most Redneck Towns in South Dakota

Are you a 'Redneck?' I guess to some people, all of us in South Dakota are rednecks.

If we use the Jeff Foxworthy Scale of Redneckeness, I have, in fact, been too drunk to fish. So by definition, I am a redneck. And so are many people I know.

Not that being from the country is a bad thing, and it can be fun to poke fun at ourselves.

With that in mind, we found that the folks at RoadSnacks put together a list that claims 'These Are The 10 Most Redneck Cities In South Dakota.'
What is a Redneck?

The dictionary says that a redneck is someone "...who lives in a small town or in the country, especially in the southern U.S., who typically has a working-class job, and who is seen by others as being uneducated and having opinions and attitudes that are offensive."

Well, a few things. First, South Dakota isn't THAT kind of 'south.' We're to the south of North Dakota, but to the north of 'The South.'

Plus that definition sounds awful mean and serious. I thought we were having fun here.

RoadSnacks leaned into the funny, Jeff Foxworthy-based version of a redneck. Then they rounded up select data on places in SD to determine their rankings. RoadSnacks Redneck Criteria:

  • Small towns
  • Least amount of high school graduates
  • Number of bars per city
  • Number of mobile home parks per capita
  • Number of tobacco stores per city
  • Number of places to get fishing gear
  • Number of guns and ammo stores per city
  • Walmarts, Bass Pro Shops, and dollar stores nearby
