About The Event
You could say “Gone Country” was formed in December of 2022, and technically, you’d be right. However, if you want to learn the true origin story of this Richmond, VA based, “Neotraditional Country” band, you’ll have to go back in time to the early-2000’s.
Now, you may not be aware of this, but that’s when the Mainstream tried to kill Country Music. You see, they thought no one would notice if they started replacing steel guitars and fiddles with snap beats and auto tuned vocals... But they were wrong. It just so happened that two boys from Virginia took notice, and vowed they would fight against mainstream Nashville to honor their hero’s who were kicked out of Country Music.
They didn’t know it at the time, but nearly two decades later, their paths would cross. Who were they, you ask? None other than the founders of “Gone Country”, Trace Nixon and John Holden. So, call it fate... call it destiny, if you will - But make no mistake, this has been a “band in the making” for nearly 20 years. And now, they’re goin’ to kick out the footlights.
