Three of Owensboro’s fastest-rising music acts will perform as part of the Saturday lineup at Redwest Festival this fall, taking the stage on the same day as headliner Post Malone. Colt Graves, Ole 60, and Sons of Habit are all scheduled to perform on October 11 at the three-day festival.
RedWest, set for October 10-12 at the Utah State Fairpark in Salt Lake City, will feature more than 30 artists across two main stages and a VIP+ acoustic stage. Kacey Musgraves will headline Friday, Post Malone will close out Saturday’s show, and Noah Kahan will headline Sunday. See the full lineup here.
Colt Graves, who was born in Calhoun and raised in Owensboro, has seen his career quickly rise since launching as a solo artist in 2021. The grandson of bluegrass Hall of Famer Josh Graves, he blends country, pop, hip-hop, and folk influences into his sound. Graves found viral success with his 2023 single “Dirt on Me,” which landed him a Top 15 spot on the iTunes Country Chart and led to appearances on national playlists and a Times Square billboard feature. In late 2024, Graves became the first artist signed through a partnership between Universal Music Group Nashville and Timbaland’s Bluestone venture, positioning him for wider success as he tours throughout 2025. In March 2025, Graves fulfilled his lifelong dream of playing at the Grand Ole Opry.
Ole 60 also made their Opry debut in early 2025. Their debut EP “Three Twenty Four” in 2023 has received critical acclaim, with the breakout single “Smoke & A Light” earning RIAA Platinum certification in June 2025. Known for their dynamic live performances and growing online presence, Ole 60 has built a strong regional following and continues to tour widely while recording new music.
Sons of Habit, another Owensboro-based group on the rise, will also represent the local scene at RedWest. Formed in May 2024, Sons of Habit blends folk, rock, and blues into an authentic and distinctive sound, as can be heard in their breakout single, “Madeline,” which resonates with listeners for its authenticity.
