Joining us on the Kitchen Stage is…

We’re thrilled to welcome Darryl Worley to the Kitchen Stage! There are many things PLATINUM-selling Darryl Worley has come to know in his 20+ year country music career. One of those things is how to recognize a hit song- Worley has scored nearly 20 hit singles and three chart-toppers with his self-penned “Awful, Beautiful Life”, “Have You Forgotten?” and “I Miss My Friend.” He also recognizes the importance of giving back as seen through his work with The Darryl Worley Foundation, annual charity events, and supporting the United States military as well as our nation’s veterans.  

We’re fired up to welcome BoomTown Saints to the Kitchen Stage on Friday! This high-energy duo—Chris Ramos and Ben Chism—blends country, rock, and R&B into an electrifying sound you won’t forget. Their breakout single “All Trucks Go to Heaven” turned heads on Taste of Country, CMT.com, and Billboard’s “What’s New in the New Year”, while their latest hit, “Blacktop Don’t,” continues to win over fans.

From their Mississippi and Florida roots to making waves in Nashville, BoomTown Saints bring passion, talent, and an undeniable stage presence. Get ready for a powerhouse performance at CBMF ‘25!

Joining the Kitchen Stage on Saturday is Waylon Wyatt, an 18-year-old Folk/Country artist born and raised in Hackett, Arkansas. Inspired by red-dirt contemporaries Tyler Childers and Zach Bryan, Waylon began writing songs at fifteen, workshopping them after long summer days spent working with his father on construction jobs. Waylon recently released his debut EP, Til The Sun Goes Down, now having received over 100M combined streams cross-platform. He is in the process of recording his second body of work, and is touring with artists such as Dwight Yoakam, Dylan Gossett, and Sam Barber throughout the rest of the year.
