The Carolina Stampede joins country music fans everywhere in mourning the passing of Country Music Hall of Famer John Anderson.

We had the honor of welcoming John Anderson to Williamston as our 2008 Carolina Stampede headliner, and we are grateful that his incredible talent became part of our festival's history.

His music and legacy will continue to live on for generations to come.

Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and fans. ❤️

Rest in peace, John Anderson. 🕊️
