From the employee reports

The Spokane County Interstate Fair is bringing popular country music acts to its grandstand stage next week…and rapper and singer Flo Rida.

On Tuesday, country artist Clay Walker will “hypnotize” the fair crowd. The “Hypnotize the Moon” singer was a major figure in country music in the 1990s and 2000s, beginning with his eponymous debut album in 1993. His first four albums were all certified platinum.

Walker’s other biggest hits include “Dreaming with My Eyes Open,” “She Won’t Be Lonely Long” and “What’s It to You.”

Walker is accompanied by his longtime country artist colleague Eddie Montgomery.

On Wednesday, Wyoming rancher Ian Munsick joins for “Long Haul.” The country singer, who began performing with his two brothers as the Munsick Boys at age 10, signed a record deal in 2020. “Long Haul” was the first single on his debut album, “Coyote Cry,” not long after in 2021.

His second studio album, 2023’s White Buffalo, includes “Long Live Cowgirls” – originally recorded as a duet with Cody Johnson and certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.

Finally, Flo Rida will round off the musical performances in the stands on Thursday.

Born Tramar Lacel Dillard, the entertainer has rapped his way to fame since his youth.

His first of four albums, “Mail on Sunday,” was released in 2008 and included the now diamond-certified single “Low,” featuring T-Pain.

Flo Rida’s 2009 album ROOTS went platinum and he has released three more.

The artist has released many multiplatinum singles, including “Right Round” featuring Kesha, “Whistle,” “My House,” and “Wild Ones” featuring Sia.

Tickets for the 7 p.m. all-ages concerts range from $40 to $75. General admission tickets for VIP stages are available to those 21 and older only. Tickets can be purchased online through TicketsWest.
