The 2026 Henderson County Fair concert is happening on Sat, Aug 1st, in Stronghurst! Illinois native Drew Baldridge is headlining! Baldridge recently made history—his breakout hit, “She’s Somebody’s Daughter,” became the first independently released debut single to reach No. 1 on Country charts.

Baldridge was recently named to the CRS New Faces Class of 2025, selected as an iHeart On the Verge artist, and honored as MusicRow’s Independent Artist of the Year.

Jake and Mikayla, a dynamic duo from Central Illinois, open the show with a high-energy country mix. Enjoy the after-party with Headfirst—a crowd-pleasing party band.

Gates open at 5 PM with food trucks; show starts at 7:30 PM. Tickets on sale Fri, Jan 16, 8 AM at www.hendersoncofair.com.
