Dauphin’s Countryfest released the full list of artists slated to perform at the country music festival, which kicks off June 30.

“It’s our goal to provide fans with an exceptional and well-rounded music festival experience, and it all starts with the artists we bring out to Dauphin,” says Eric Irwin, president of Dauphin’s Countryfest.

“It’s no secret that the Canadian dollar is presenting challenges to the entertainment business. Despite that, Dauphin’s Countryfest is happy to be presenting one stellar lineup this year.”
