Smith, Ricky Skaggs, Ray Stevens, Sal Gonzalez, Deborah Allen and Rachel Bradshaw, daughter of an NFL living legend, Terry Bradshaw.
“The Oak Ridge Boys are honored to join the amazing acts for this year’s MCA Music at the Mill," shared lead singer Duane Allen in a Jan. 31 correspondence with Examiner.com.
