Show details
Opening the show will be Country Music’s Modern-Day Johnny Cash, Rising Star Carter Winter. Fitting the part of the man in black, Winter is country music’s modern traditionalist. His raw, honest, and fresh sound behind his guitar and sleeves of tattoos is connecting with audiences all across the country. Inspirations from Garth Brooks and George Strait led Carter to release a second studio album with multi Grammy Award-winning producers Chad Carlson (Taylor Swift) and Mark Bright (Carrie Underwood). Carter has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in country music including Sam Hunt, Chase Rice, and Travis Tritt.

Returning to the Jam Stage is Triple Tigers Records Star Russell Dickerson. With more than 30 million streams on Spotify and more than three million views on YouTube, Dickerson most recently toured with Thomas Rhett, Kelsea Ballerini, and Ryan Hurd. Dickerson will take a break from his own headlining tour to play Rochelle. His power ballad “Yours” was named the biggest love song of 2016. The country music artist recently performed on NBC’s Today Show, ABC’s the Bachelorette, and the Grand Ole Opry. Dickerson’s Debut Album featuring Yours and Tacoma is avaibale for pre-order. The debut album is due Oct. 13.
Headliner
Headlining the COUNTRY Financial Summer Country Jam is Arista Nashville/RCA Records Recording Artist CAM. The multi-nominated artist is on her first headlining tour. The Burning House Tour is named after her biggest hit. CAM’s debut album Untamed burst onto Billboard’s Top Album Chart at #2 and earned best first-week album sales by a debut country artist.
Her wide-range artistry is multi-dimensional. The singer/songwriter has been described as powerfully vulnerable (“Burning House”), fierce and defiant (“Runaway Train”), and effervescent and carefree (“My Mistake”). Cam is set to open select dates for Tim McGraw and Faith Hill’s 2017 Soul2Soul Tour. She too has stood in the legendary circle of the Grand Ole Opry.

DJ DU brings a new channel of entertainment with high-energy audio, vibrant visuals, and the newest remixes of country, rock, and pop music.
