The concert, presented with support from the Keep Wisconsin Warm/Cool Fund, is part of the week-long PGA TOUR Champions American Family Insurance Championship June 1-7.

Additional artist bio information
Little Big Town
GRAMMY, ACM, CMA, AMA, and Emmy Award-winning group, Little Big Town – consisting of members Karen Fairchild, Phillip Sweet, Kimberly Schlapman and Jimi Westbrook – burst onto the music scene 25 years ago with smash hits “Boondocks,” “Bring It On Home,” “Good As Gone” and the GRAMMY-nominated “Little White Church.”
The band’s breakthrough albums Tornado and Pain Killer produced multiple #1 singles, including “Pontoon,” “Tornado,” and “Day Drinking,” as well as the history-making, best-selling country single of 2015 “Girl Crush.” 2017’s The Breaker debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Charts to critical acclaim and features their GRAMMY-winning, multi-week #1 single, “Better Man,” as well as the 2019 GRAMMY-nominated, “When Someone Stops Loving You.” In January 2020, the band released their self-produced ninth studio album, Nightfall, which once again hit the top of the Billboard Country Charts. The record included critically acclaimed and GRAMMY-nominated songs “The Daughters,” “Over Drinking” and “Wine, Beer, Whiskey” – the latter of which has reached almost 400 million global streams. In September 2022, they released their tenth studio album, Mr. Sun, which debuted as the Top Country Album released by a Group in 2022. To date, Little Big Town has earned more than 45 award show nominations and has taken home over 20 awards, including multiple GRAMMY, AMA, People’s Choice, CMA, and ACM Awards, in addition to an Emmy Award. To celebrate their 25th anniversary Little Big Town released their first-ever career-spanning Greatest Hits album in 2024, which features collaborations with Kelsea Ballerini, Miranda Lambert and Sugarland. The band also released its first-ever Christmas album that same year, The Christmas Record, and spent the Summer of 2025 celebrating their extensive catalog playing amphitheaters nationwide on Little Big Town Summer Tour ‘25, with direct support by Wynonna Judd, Carly Pearce and Ashley McBryde.
Ending 2025 on a high note, the band spent New Year’s Eve in Times Square ringing in 2026 as a headline performer on the ABC’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest. For more information on Little Big Town visit LittleBigTown.com or follow them @littlebigtown on X and Instagram.
Randy Houser
With an inimitable voice The New York Times describes as “wholly different, thicker and more throbbing, a caldron bubbling over,” Randy Houser racked up over one billion streams with smash hits including “How Country Feels,” “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight,” “Boots On,” “Goodnight Kiss,” “WenWent,” and earned critical acclaim for his powerful delivery of the Top 5 smash and CMA Song of the Year-nominated “Like A Cowboy.”
In late 2023 Houser landed on-screen roles in Martin Scorsese’s acclaimed film “Killers of the Flower Moon” starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro and more, as well as the inspiring “The Hill” starring Dennis Quaid which hit number one most streamed movie on Netflix in February 2024. The deluxe version of Houser’s sixth studio album, Note To Self, came out in 2025 via Magnolia Music Group and featuring new collaborations with artists including Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert and Riley Green. RIAA Gold-certified single and title track “Note To Self” marked his “powerful return” with Music Row boasting the Mississippi native “remains one of country music’s very finest vocalists.” His latest release “Back In The Bottle,” available now, arrives as the first taste of new music to come in 2026.

Mae Estes
Mae merges the timelessness of classic country music with modern melodies and production to form her exclusive artistry. She got her start at age 7, in the middle of an Arkansas rodeo arena, singing the national anthem. The Hope, Arkansas native hasn’t stopped singing since. Paying dues in Music City for over a decade, she’s now stacked with stories to tell. In 2024, this “stone-cold country newcomer” (Whiskey Riff) was named AIMP’s Rising Artist-Writer of the Year, one of CMT’s Next Women of Country Class and the three-time Arkansas CMA Female Vocalist of the Year.
In 2025, the “new-school torchbearer for Nashville tradition” was named to GRAMMY.com’s list of “14 Rising Country Stars To Know Now.” One of Music Row’s most in-demand collaborators, the “stellar vocalist” (Billboard) also joined fellow rising artist and neo-traditional torchbearer Jake Worthington, on his track “I Feel You” from his sophomore album released this year. Mae brought her honky tonk attitude to a number of legendary stages including Stagecoach, Tortuga and the Grand Ole Opry, wrapping up the year with her debut at the historic Ryman Auditorium with Ella Langley and her third appearance at Wrangler’s National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, returning to her rodeo roots. Estes continues to gain fans across social media with her unfiltered perspective and viral vulnerability, topped with her scroll-stopping voice. Her latest five-song, self-titled EP, is out now as she teases more “fresh but familiar” original country music on the way.
