Eaglemaniacs
It will be a night of Eagles music beneath the stars at the 13th annual Wartrace MusicFest on Saturday, June 3, as the Eaglemaniacs recreate the hits of the Eagles and Don Henley.
The group of nine Nashville studio musicians is noted for its precise instrumental recreations and soaring vocal stylings of Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Timothy Schmit and Joe Walsh (and let’s not forget pivotal former guitarist Don Felder or founding former members Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner)—all of whom helped create a sound that has enthralled three generations of Eagles fans worldwide.
Opening for the Eaglemaniacs on the main stage at 7 p.m. will be 17-year-old blues guitar sensation Chase Clanton and the Vintage Vibes plus The Buck Wild Band, delivering a high energy show of classic Southern rock and contemporary country music.
