Northern Michigan Country Rock Festival

Get ready for a night of high-energy country rock at the Northern Michigan Country Rock Festival! On Friday, June 19, 2026, Castle Farms will come alive with incredible live performances featuring headliner Kenny Olson Cartel. Sharing the stage is country-rock sensation Louie Lee, bringing energy,

heart, and Southern grit to the night.

Kenny Olson, a Michigan native, was a founding member and key songwriter for Kid Rock’s Twisted Brown Trucker Band. Known for his powerhouse guitar skills, Olson has shared the stage with music legends, and Keith Richards praised him as “one of the best rock guitarists on the scene right now.”

Opening the show are two incredible local talents: McKayla Prew and Lilly MacPhee, setting the tone with soulful vocals and heartfelt lyrics. Their performances will pave the way for Louie Lee, a rising talent whose soulful rock sound has led him to open for John Mayer, and Olson’s electrifying set to close out the night.

Enjoy a night of country rock in one of Northern Michigan’s most iconic venues. Food trucks will be on site serving up delicious eats, and the Castle Pub will be open with drinks available for purchase.
