Dauphin Countryfest announced its lineup today, and along with the big-hatted crap, there are some real gems worth checking out, so a few of those to start us off. Yesterday was Townes Van Zandt’s birthday, and although we typically leave his songs to Tell the Band to Go Home, we’ve got a few rockin’ covers, as well as some great new stuff to spin. And speaking of new music, the hits just keep on coming, so we pull out a batch of new and upcoming releases sure to please your ears.
