The Long Road’s Creative Director Baylen Leonard:
“Being from Tennessee and having lived in the UK for close to 20
years, I’m thrilled to bring the music and culture of both together in one
festival. The dedication and passion of the UK country community is so amazing, we wanted to put together a
festival that celebrated the music and lifestyle they love as a thank you to
the fans for supporting country music. Whether you're a country fan, an
Americana fan, or a fan of great music in general, we wanted a welcoming place
where everyone could come together to celebrate. This is a festival for the
fans and we’re excited to share it with you.”
