Dear Kick’n Up Kountry Music Fans,

 

This is my 2nd year that I’ve had the privilege of working with KUK staff and all of you Minnesota country music fans.  I’m looking forward to seeing everyone again this year.  I sincerely hope that you like this year’s line-up.  We’re in for a GREAT SHOW

 

We also have a very BIG surprise already confirmed for 2009’s festival.  All I will tell you is we’re in for an incredibly HUGE show with one of country music’s all time icons.  This festival is going to get BIGGER and BETTER every year. 

 

I urge you, KUK Staff and Fans, to contact me via email and feel free to let me know who you would like to see at Kick’n Up Kountry.  We want to make sure we’re getting the Artists that you want to see. 

 

Have a great Spring and Summer….and get your tickets for what is going to be one of the best shows all year in your area. 

 

Sincerely,

Glenn Zacek

 IT'S OFFICIAL KOUNTRY MUSIC FANS!
       LORRIE MORGAN WILL BE ON OUR KUK STAGE!!!
     Lorrie is one of country music’s most popular and successful female artists charting over a dozen top ten hits including "Five Minutes," "What Part of No," and "I Didn’t Know My Own Strength" which all landed at number one. Recognized as a creative force in music videos, Lorrie charted eight number one videos at CMT. Praise from her peers and fans followed, and Morgan earned nine industry awards including four wins as Female Vocalist of the Year (1994, 1996, 1997, 1998). She made countless appearances on major network television shows including The Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and Good Morning America, among others.

     Morgan’s authenticity as a country artist is irrefutable. She was literally a child of the Grand Ole Opry, tagging along as her father, the late George Morgan, performed every weekend from the hallowed wooden stage. Lorrie made her debut appearance at 13.  Because of her dedication to the Grand Ole Opry Morgan was invited to become a member in 1984
