We are so happy to welcome back the OG Concert In The Corn artist, The One, The Only, Chris Kroeze!🤠

That's right folks, Chris was our first performer at the very first Concert In The Corn and he has been gracious enough to join us every year since then! Quickly becoming a fan favorite, Chris has made his mark on our fans with his raw, outstanding vocals and guitar skills. Originating from Barron, WI, he has appeared on NBC’s hit TV show “The Voice,” making it all the way to the finals in a runner-up finish. In the finale, Kroeze sang the original song “Human,” which was TOP 10 on the Billboard HOT 100 and TOP 5 on the iTunes TOP 100.

We hope to hear "Summer Song", "Crushin' Cans", as well as incredible covers and more when he plays at Concert The Corn! 🍻🎶

Catch Chris Kroeze on the Main Stage Friday, August 22nd at 4:00pm and then closing out the night on our Hilltop Stage at 11:30pm! 😀
