🎶 Get Ready, Irondale! Our 2026 Homecoming Headliner is Route 67! 🎶
We’re excited to welcome Route 67 to the stage for this year’s Irondale Homecoming !
Founded in 2001, Route 67 has spent more than two decades entertaining crowds with authentic country music. The band features:
🎤 Coleen Gallagher – Lead Vocals & Bass Guitar
🥁 Jim Gallagher – Drums & Sound
🎸 Josh Driskill – Lead Guitar & Vocals
🎸 Darren Thomas – Lead Guitar & Vocals
From the classics of the ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s to a few newer favorites and original songs, Route 67 delivers a show every country music fan will love. You’ll hear hits made famous by legends like Loretta Lynn, Pam Tillis, Randy Travis, George Strait, Waylon Jennings, Marty Stuart, and many more!
A special part of this year’s performance comes from Darren Thomas, who has been performing with Route 67 for more than 10 years. A dedicated music educator, Darren has taught music locally for over 15 years and currently serves as the elementary music teacher at West County. With more than 20 years of performing experience, Darren has also had the incredible opportunity to build a friendship with country music legend Randy Travis and his wife, Mary.
This performance is especially meaningful to Darren, as he will be dedicating it to his grandmother, Kathy Thomas, who proudly called Irondale home. Kathy worked at the local grocery store, loved helping others, and always looked forward to being part of the Irondale Homecoming. She was deeply loved by her family, friends, and this community.
❤️ Darren is honored to return to Irondale and dedicate this year’s performance to her memory, making this homecoming one that will be remembered for years to come.
Come out, bring your lawn chairs, and enjoy an evening filled with great country music, hometown memories, and community spirit. We can’t wait to see everyone there!
