This is an awesome talent coming to Marion, Indiana, on Sept. 19! Preston Cooper

🚨 ARTIST ANNOUNCEMENT ALERT 🚨

We're so excited to announce our next act on the Amplify Marion Music & Food Festival 2026 Main Stage is...

PRESTON COOPER!

With a vocal so expressive it builds into jaw-dropping eruptions of power and emotion, 22-year-old artist Preston Cooper represents the start of a new generation in Country Rock. The biggest voice to ever hail from the tiny town of Fredericktown, Ohio, Preston’s soulful and blues inspired vocal is a potent force of nature, drawing comparisons to icons like Chris Stapleton and Bob Seger. First picking up guitar as a high school freshman, he joined the US Postal Service after graduation and found local fame as “The Singing Mailman” – walking up to 14 miles each day while belting out raw, raspy vocal runs, then clocking out to perform across the region. Hundreds of shows later, hit-making legends Brad and Brett Warren (Tim McGraw, Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban) discovered Preston at a Toledo songwriter’s round, and quickly recognized his once-in-a-lifetime talent. With his debut album, Toledo Talkin’, released August 29, the first chapter of this generational talent’s story unfolds. With 12 incendiary tracks – all but three co-written by the no-frills newcomer – Toledo Talkin’ was recorded with an old-school, full-band process, lashed together with sheer vocal intensity miles different from the Music Row norm. The album wields a mix of raw, organic Country and edgy Alt Rock, as evidenced on his show-stopping debut track “Weak,” emotive “One More Place I’ve Never Been,” shot of nostalgia “Numbers On A Mailbox,” highway rocker “One For The Road,” and personal reflection “The Takedown.” Preston recently wrapped his run as direct support for Kameron Marlowe’s Keepin’ The Lights On Tour and select dates of Riley Green’s Damn Country Music Tour. Preston made his Grand Ole Opry Debut on October 24th and was introduced by Vince Gill. Preston will keep busy in 2026 as he tours fairs, festivals, and a run of headlining shows.

NEWS RELEASE: Business View Magazine features Marion as one of America’s Best Run Cities

The May 2026 issue of Busi­ness View Mag­a­zine touts Mar­i­on, Indi­ana as one of America’s Best Man­aged Cities.

The mul­ti-page arti­cle, enti­tled: A City Refus­ing to Stand Still — From Fac­to­ry Town to For­ward City: Devel­op­ment Accel­er­ates Along Indiana’s I‑69 Cor­ri­dor, observes a once-depressed and declin­ing rur­al com­mu­ni­ty as a trans­for­ma­tion­al, inno­v­a­tive city with tena­cious spir­it, build­ing its own promis­ing future.

The mag­a­zine con­tact­ed the City of Mar­i­on after notic­ing a momen­tum of devel­op­ment and activ­i­ty hap­pen­ing under the lead­er­ship of May­or Ronald Mor­rell, Jr.

“From health­care cam­pus­es and lux­u­ry apart­ments, to youth sports com­plex­es and entre­pre­neur­ial edu­ca­tion, Mar­i­on is assem­bling the pieces of some­thing larg­er than rede­vel­op­ment. It is build­ing a mod­el for how small­er Amer­i­can cities can com­pete again – by mov­ing faster, think­ing big­ger, and refus­ing to define them­selves by the past.” – Busi­ness View Magazine
