Corey Kent in concert

Country music fans attending the 2025 Dodge County Fair are in for a treat, as emerging country rock artist Corey Kent is set to perform a free evening concert. Kent will take the Moraine Park Technical College Main Stage on Friday, August 15th, at 8 pm, providing an exciting musical experience for all fair attendees. Kent, originally from Bixby, Oklahoma, has taken country musical influence from another Oklahoma Native, Garth Brooks, over the past fifteen years of his career. Bruce Springsteen and Brooks & Dunn are cited as influences of the rock music resonance in his songs. He has recently joined Jason Aldean and Ashley McBryde on stages around the country.

Like many, the pandemic set Kent’s career off course in 2000. However, he persevered, adapted and paved new path: to new places to call home, creative side hustles, embraced smaller gigs, and penned new tracks like “Wild As Her”. He also embraced a reinvented publishing deal — things that he never knew were part of his adventure. His unexpected stops along the way were a creative part of developing his next album, “Blacktop” in 2023. “Wild As Her” quickly rose as a Platinum-certified Number One hit on country music radio.

Corey Kent fans only need to pay their admission to the Dodge County Fair to attend. Daily gate admission is $10 before noon; or $15 after noon.  Children age nine and under are FREE.  Season tickets are only $35 in advance or $40 at the gate. Tickets can be purchased at most Dodge County Banks, Beaver Dam Food Pride, Beaver Dam or Juneau Piggly Wiggly, Leroy Meats of Horicon and Fox Lake, or at the Fairgrounds Office.
