“Rock the Country is about bringing a festival to the people, and these towns represent hard-working Americans and small-town USA,” Shane Quick, the festival’s founder, said in a news release. “Our vision was to create something that would resonate with small towns across America, and seeing the impact it had in Gonzales reaffirms that we’re on the right path. We’re excited to continue this journey and bring the Rock the Country experience to even more towns in the coming months.”
