OASIS HOTELS & RESORTS TO HOST FOURTH ANNUAL

COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL

 

 

CANCUN, Quintana Roo, Mexico, February 23, 2016 — Oasis Hotels & Resorts, the leading all-inclusive vacation resort brand in the Mexican Caribbean, is pleased to announce dates for their annual Country Music Festival. Taking place June 22-26, 2016, the festival will also include a series of song writing workshops led by Rick Barker.

 

Now in its fourth year, the Country Music Festival has included nationally recognized artists and this year’s event is set to showcase several up and coming artists. Throughout the five days of the festival, artists such as Lance Carpenter, Cali Rodi, Greg Bates, Shelly Skidmore and Maddy Newton will rotate their appearances throughout the resort’s numerous venues, offering guests intimate musical experiences.

 

To add to the excitement, the event will also feature a songwriters workshop led by Rick Barker, founder of the Music Industry Blue Print. Former manager of Grammy award winner, Taylor Swift, Barker’s songwriters workshop will give guests the opportunity to bring their words, ideas, and thoughts to life through song. Some of the country’s most talented songwriters will work with guests to help them create their own song, and Barker will even offer guests the opportunity to set their song to music and leave Cancun with their own personal and fully recorded song. The songwriters workshop will be offered Friday, June 24 and Saturday, June 25.

 

“Having had the pleasure of working with the Oasis Country Music Festival for a many years, we thought that the incorporation of the songwriters workshop would be a natural progression for the event,” said Rick Baker. “This year’s roster of performers are also talented songwriters who will be able to share their skills with guests through these workshops.”

 

Beginning June 22, performers for the Country Music Festival will include some of Nashville’s brightest young talents. This year’s roster includes:

 

• Lance Carpenter is a recording artist and professional songwriter who has penned hits for contemporary country radio while staying true to his traditional background. Lance has performed with artists including Toby Keith, Luke Bryan, Colt Ford and more.

• Bringing her small town roots to Music City, Cali Rodi is a songwriter and performer who has worked with Little Big Town. Cali is also signed to Keith Urban’s Publishing Company. She is a musical ambassador for the TJ Martell Foundation and is a frequent performer for Birdies for the Brave.

 

• Greg Bates is a Nashville born and raised singer/ songwriter whose music has been heard on the hit ABC series, Nashville. His current hit single, “Fill in the Blank,” is quickly climbing the country charts.
