FLUSHING — Tracy Byrd will headline Dutton Ranch Night 2025 — the second year of the one-night country music concert.

The Dutton family announced his appearance, terming him “one of the most recognizable voices in country music.” The show is set to kick off the summer season with the “Watermelon Crawl” on June 6 at the Duttons’ cattle ranch just outside Flushing.

The lakeside ranch venue will feel like a Texas honky tonk with Byrd singing such hits as, “Holdin’ Heaven,” “The First Step” and “Watermelon Crawl,” as well as a true throwback summer festival, with anthems like “Ten Rounds with Jose Cuervo,” “I’m From the Country,” and “Drinkin’

Bone.” The night will feature four acts from Nashville, replicating a one-night summer festival lineup.

Ranch Night owner and creator Chris Dutton recalled the response to the 2024 show.

“The 2024 show was a much bigger party than we expected, but it felt like the crowd wanted more Nashville acts and a bigger, revved-up performance. And I agreed with them!”

The Duttons are expanding the lineup and doubling down on the “Honky Tonk Vibe” with one of

Nashville’s next rising stars, Texas native Braxton Keith. The “Cozy” singer features a throwback ’80s country aesthetic with a revved up band and rich organic tones.

Ranch Night has added singer-songwriter Mackenzie Carpenter to the lineup as well.

“The talented and high energy performer has spent her young career writing songs for megastar, Megan Maroney, and has recently released a new song with Midland, with an album due out in March,” the release states.

“I love this lineup because they’re all such high-energy performers, while being incredible songwriters. It will be impossible to keep from dancing at this show,” Dutton said.

Aside from the additional talent, Dutton Ranch Night 2025 will largely follow the same model as its 2024 predecessor with one major addition: camping. The Duttons are adding “dry camping” to their seasonal AirBnB lodging area within the ranch for country fans to bring travel trailers and tents for a two-night experience beginning June 5.

The Dutton family’s farm-to-table country concert far exceeded expectations in 2024, which featured Sammy Kershaw, Bryan Martin and a fireworks display. Attendees dined on a

variety of the Dutton family’s own premium Ohio wagyu beef, from brisket and burnt ends to burgers and all-beef hotdogs. The food prep, cooking and service was handled by the staff of their own farm-to-table restaurant, The Pike 40 in Morristown.

General admission lawn and limited premium tickets will be available for purchase on

March 13. Overnight concert parking will be free again this year.

A self-guided farm tour, beef sales and an extensive whiskey menu will again be featured at the 2025 show.
