Glendale resident and Country Music Television recording artist Ashley Wineland will perform at the inaugural OktoberWest Festival.
The Westin Kierland Resort in Scottsdale will host the event from 4 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15 on the Pittman Lawn of the resort at 6902 E. Greenway Parkway, according to a press release.
The festival will feature a western twist on a traditional Oktoberfest gathering, with a modern country western theme. Live music lovers will enjoy hearing an interactive performance from Wineland, who is known to lead line dances alongside country music fans while singing.
The premier country-rock group of the West, Mogollon Band, will also perform at the event. Mogollon is one of the world’s premier country rock entertainment groups. The band began in 1979 out of the Mogollon Rim country of Heber-Overgaard in Arizona and has had five albums and songs featured on the Billboard Hot 100 music industry record chart.
Special guest singer Donny Grubb and fiddle player Patrick Clark (who toured with Big & Rich) will join Mogollon Band for the night.
A DJ, corn hole games, mechanical bull and local food trucks will be there with a variety of beverages from a bourbon-tasting garden, beer garden and more.
Tickets are $45 per person and proceeds will benefit the Phoenix-based veteran nonprofit Friends of Freedom. Click here for tickets.
