About Cross Canadian Ragweed:

Grady Cross, Cody Canada, Randy Ragsdale and Jeremy Plato have known each other since kindergarten in the band’s hometown of Yukon, OK. The band has been a force on the alt-country scene since 1998. It’s hard to define their music...part country - part rock. Their last 2 albums have hit the Billboard top 200 list.

Gary Allan has sold over 5 million records, and received ACM and CMA awards. He has released back to back to back Platinum albums and landed back to back number one singles at country radio. The sexy swagger of his live show tempered with a rugged yet warm voice has earned him legions of loyal fans. Last year, scenes for the video supporting his #1 Song "Watching Airplanes" were filmed at Red Dirt Roundup.
