SiriusXM will broadcast live performances and backstage interviews from Stagecoach: California’s Country Music Festival located in Indio, California, airing on SiriusXM’s The Highway channel.
The SiriusXM Spotlight Stage, a special Stagecoach stage highlighting up-and-coming artists, will return for the second year, including Highway Find artists Tyler Rich, Ross Ellis, SmithField, Brandon Lay and numerous others.
SiriusXM also announced that Dwight Yoakam’s exclusive SiriusXM channel will take over the Palomino stage on Sunday, April 28, to air performances from Mark Chesnutt, Terri Clark, Parker Millsap, Ruby Boots and King Leg. The Palomino Stage take over will also feature Yoakam interviewing artists live on air from Stagecoach.
“It’s been 33 years since I last played The Roxy, for the record release party of Guitars, Cadillacs. Thanks to SiriusXM and Goldenvoice, I’m taking a ‘Stagecoach ride’ up the ‘Tom Joad Road’ to The Sunset Strip for a special appearance back at The Roxy, to kick off the weekend of Stagecoach and in celebration of Ch. 349 – Dwight Yoakam & The Bakersfield Beat’s first year anniversary,” said Yoakam. “I’m really excited about performing at The Roxy again as well as broadcasting live from the festival as part of the Bakersfield Beat Channel’s all day takeover from the Palomino Stage at Stagecoach. From The Roxy to the Palomino Stage, the weekend is certainly going to serve as a personal reference to, and reminder of, many of the moments, places and milestones in my early career. Again I want to thank Stacy Vee and Goldenvoice for letting us throw a ‘Bakersfield Beat’ party at Stagecoach, and express my lasting gratitude to Scott Greenstein, Steve Blatter, Joey Black and everyone at SiriusXM for collaborating with me to allow the channel a great first year on the air.”
In addition to all the official festival activities, a special edition of SiriusXM’s ‘Music Row Happy Hour’ hosted by Buzz Brainard, will air live from Toyota Paradise Park at Stagecoach on Friday, April 26.
SiriusXM’s Stagecoach broadcast begins on Friday, April 26 at 12 p.m. PT through Sunday, April 28 on The Highway via satellite on channel 56 and through the SiriusXM app on smartphones and other connected devices, as well as online at siriusxm.com.
