Texarkana’s Whiskey River Country Club is set to host rising country star Payton Howie on Saturday, February 1, in what promises to be an unforgettable night of live music.
A Nashville recording artist and Texas trailblazer, Howie has been making waves in the country scene, earning WCMA New Female Country Artist of the Year and WCMA Female Country Entertainer of the Year. With a voice steeped in Southern grit and a stage presence that commands attention, she’s shared the spotlight with legends like Tracy Byrd, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, and Gary Allan, as well as Whiskey River fan favorites Casey Donahew, Kevin Fowler, Josh Ward, and Roger Creager.
Dubbed the ultimate “All American Girl” by Scenes Media, Howie’s music embodies the raw energy and untamed tradition that country music was built on. Her debut EP, Youngblood, has racked up over 1.5 million streams, and her latest single, “Orange”, is making waves across the industry. She’s been featured by CMT, The Boot, Country Rebel, Fox News, and more, proving she’s a rising force in the genre.
From sharing the stage with Lainey Wilson, Chris Janson, Clay Walker, and Aaron Watson to delivering electrifying live performances, Howie is bringing her signature honky-tonk fire to Texarkana.
Don’t miss your chance to catch this rising star live on February 1 at Whiskey River Country Club!
