Musicians
Get ready, Queen Creek! The Friday night concert lineup is set and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with you. Two incredible acts are taking the stage at Horseshoe Park & Equestrian Centre for a night that’s going to be hard to top.
Get to know the artists below — check out their pages, give their music a listen, and come ready to sing along to so many great hits!
Headlining Artist
TOBY: The Experience | A Tribute to Toby Keith Tribute starring Hollywood Yates
Hollywood Yates is one of those performers you have to see to believe. His story alone is enough to stop you in your tracks — bullfighter, professional wrestler, television personality, and now one of the most electrifying tribute artists in the country. He has lived more lives than most people dream of, and every bit of that energy shows up on stage.
His show, TOBY: The Experience, is a full tribute to the life and legacy of one of country music’s most beloved icons. Packed with hits like “How Do You Like Me Now,” “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” and “I Love This Bar,” the show captures the swagger, spirit, and signature sound that made Toby Keith a legend — brought to life by a performer who was practically born for a crowd like this.
Hollywood Yates has been performing since he was a kid, and it shows. He doesn’t just play the songs — he owns the room. Get your boots on and get ready — this is the Friday night headliner that Queen Creek has been waiting for.
Opening Artist
Nathan Dean & The Damn Band
Rooted in country but built around the crowd — that’s the best way to describe Nathan Dean & The Damn Band. Award-winning and logging 175+ shows per year touring across the U.S., this is a band that has put in the work and it shows the moment they hit the stage.
From old-school anthems to today’s hits, they build every set on the fly, chasing the energy in the room and keeping the crowd locked in — taking requests all night, even ones they’ve never played before. No set list, no script, just a band that reads the room and delivers.
Catch Nathan Dean & The Damn Band live on Friday, October 30 at Horseshoe Harvest Hangout — kicking off the Friday night concert before TOBY: The Experience takes the stage.
