CULLMAN – Southern rock legends 38 Special, country icon Joe Diffie and new star Kane Brown join the Rock the South 2016 lineup. RTS promises “another huge announcement” next week as event tickets go on sale next Thursday with prices for the “workin’ people.”
Rock the South founder Shane Quick said,” Who isn’t going to be singing along with Joe Diffie singing “Pickup Man?” Joe Diffie has so many hits and I can’t wait to sing them all in Cullman. 38 Special is the definition of Southern Rock and are perfect for Rock the South. Kane Brown has exploded onto the scene with his music. He is reinventing the way music gets to the fans and we respect that. Glad we could snag him for Rock the South. Stay tuned next week as we aren’t done announcing bands!”

About Joe Diffie
With the release of Jason Aldean’s hit “1994” earlier this year that name-checked many of Joe
Diffie’s twelve No. 1 hits, the legendary singer found himself squarely back in the hearts and minds of country fans. The multi-platinum-selling artist who dominated the charts during a hot streak in the ‘90s may have been absent from the radio charts for the past few years, but Joe-Joe-Joe Diffie has never slowed down – writing, touring and recording myriad of projects including his critically acclaimed 2010 bluegrass album “Homecoming,” and his recent “Roots and Boots” acoustic tour and collaborative CD “All in The Same Boat,” with fellow hit makers Sammy Kershaw and Aaron Tippin. And now he’s back at it again, riding shotgun with hick-hop sensations the Jawga Boyz on a brand new single, “Girl Ridin’ Shotgun,” which was recently released to country radio.
