McKown said August 5th’s lineup will start with local favorite Jayson Orr and the Shop Band at 2:45 with four other acts performing that day.

McKown said a fireworks show will be held August 5th.

When Mid America Music Festival organizers work with Nashville agencies, they let the agencies know what the budget is for each night. The agencies then provide an artist list of who would be available and within the area.

Four charities will benefit from this weekend’s Mid America Music Festival at the Black Silo Winery of Trenton. Charities to be supported are Boy Scout Troops 97 of Trenton and 120 of Chillicothe, Camp Rainbow, and the Green Hills Animal Shelter.
