Southern country-rock legend Charlie Daniels and the Charlie Daniels Band will return to the DuQuoin State Fair for a blockbuster concert at the Grandstand on Wednesday, September 2nd. At the age of 78, Charlie Daniels has transformed his passion for music into a multi-platinum career and a platform to support the military, underprivileged children and others in need. As always the DuQuoin State Fair loves to show off Illinois talent and the fair continues with that tradition with the Charlie Daniels Band. The group’s lead guitarist, Bruce Brown, is from West Frankfort, and fellow group guitarist, Chris Wormer, is a Peoria native. Opening for the Charlie Daniels Band is Lee Roy Parnell. Other acts include Colt Ford / Josh Thompson, Trace Adkins, Night Ranger / Head East, as well as Randy Houser. The DuQuoin State Fair runs August 28 through September 7th.
