Grammy-Winning Country Star Gretchen Wilson, No1 Recording Artist Joe Nichols At Toyota Park On July 24, 2009

Bridgeview, IL. (Top40 Charts/ Bridgeview Country MusicFest) - The 2009 Bridgeview Country MusicFest will feature Grammy-winning country star Gretchen Wilson and No. 1-recording artist Joe Nichols on Friday, July 24 at 6 p.m. Tickets are only $10. Parking is free.

Headliner Gretchen Wilson won a Grammy in 2004 for best country female performance for her No. 1 hit "Redneck Woman," which she co-wrote. She also won top female vocalist at the 2005 Country Music Awards. She has topped the charts with singles and records alike, including all four of her albums.

It is a homecoming to Illinois for Wilson, who hails from Pocahontas, between Effingham and St. Louis. The Toyota Park concert will be her only Illinois stop for the rest of the summer.

Fellow country star Joe Nichols will join Wilson for the concert. Nichols is also very acquainted with the country charts, having scored seven top-10 hits, including two No. 1 singles, "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" and "Brokenheartsville."

"This will be a great night of country music," Nichols said. "The Chicago area has long been one of my favorite tour stops because the people here love country music and baseball - two of my personal all time favorite pastimes."
