Bailey Zimmerman has taken country music by storm with his record-breaking debut, “Religiously. The Album.,” which became the biggest streaming country debut of all time. The album features four consecutive No. 1 singles, including the 5x-Platinum mega-hit “Rock and a Hard Place” and 4x-Platinum debut single “Fall in Love.” With high-energy performances that have captivated audiences on “Good Morning America,” “TODAY,” “Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!,” and more. Zimmerman’s meteoric rise has earned him multiple award nominations from the Billboard Music Awards, ACM Awards, People’s Choice Country Awards, and CMT Music Awards. His newest releases, “Holding On,” “Holy Smokes,” and “New to Country,” mark an exciting new chapter for the breakout star.

Rooted in the classic skills of country music’s past — but finding new ways to deliver three chords and the truth — Dylan Marlowe broke out with an attention-grabbing cover of Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license” in 2021, changing the lyrics to reflect his own backwoods story and resulting in more than half-a-million TikTok followers. Marlowe went on to drop the self-penned singles and EPs like “Record High” and “Dirt Road When I Die,” eventually racking up 328 million global career streams as an artist, while co-penning Jon Pardi’s No. 1 hit, “Last Night Lonely.”

Drew Baldridge’s viral hit “She’s Somebody’s Daughter” has amassed over 400 million TikTok impressions and has beenstreamed over 120 million times with no editorial playlists. Since going to country radio, the track has hit the top 10 on Billboard Country Music Chart and is climbing toward the top 5.

The 2025 California Mid-State Fair runs July 16 through July 27, with this year’s theme “Off To The Races!”
