Dates for the 21st Comstock Windmill Festival will be June 9, 10 & 11, 2022. Several acts
have been confirmed, with more to be announced.
Performing Thursday night, The Frontmen of Country features three singers from three of
the top country bands of the ‘90s: Larry Stewart of Restless Heart, Tim Rushlow, formerly of
Little Texas, and Richie McDonald of Lonestar. All have garnered CMA and ACM Vocal Group
of the Year honors, and have compiled 30 number one singles.
Joining The Frontmen will be up-and-comer, Ian Flanigan, following a long list of The Voice
winners and finalists, Ian carries on a Comstock Festival tradition. Blake Shelton, a judge
on The Voice, said of Ian, “Your voice sounds like it’s already on a record.”
Jerrod Niemann performs on Friday. After almost a decade as a major-label artist, Nashville
hit-maker Jerrod Niemann has put his heart on his sleeve with the patriotic anthem, “Old
Glory.” From Academy of Country Music, Country Music Association and CMT Award
nominations, to headlining and touring with some of Country’s hottest acts – Dierks
Bentley, Brad Paisley, and Keith Urban – Niemann continues to make his mark.
Saturday will feature the ever-popular Thompson Square, with #1 hits, “Are You Gonna Kiss
Me or Not,” and “If I Didn’t Have You,” multi-platinum international success, and honors as
Vocal Duo of the Year from both the ACM and CMA Awards. Their new album will be
released in February 2022.
Coming back by popular demand for a second year in a row will be Allie Colleen. Her stage
presence and incredible musical talent make her a shining Country star of the future.
C. J. Solar celebrated his first #1 Country single last year as a songwriter with Morgan
Wallen’s “Up Down” smash hit featuring Florida Georgia Line. The song garnered C. J. an
ASCAP Award and the Nashville Songwriters Award for “10 Songs I Wish I’d Written.” He cowrote Jason Aldean’s “I Don’t Drink Anymore.”
The time-honored tradition of Extreme Bull Riding will run wild Saturday afternoon. The
atmosphere of sitting in a lawn chair at the edge of the bull riding arena is unmatched.
