Welcome to VernFest, the ultimate celebration of Vern Gosdin, affectionately known as "The Voice" of country music. Nestled in the heart of Nashville, at the Texas Troubadour Theatre, this festival honors the indelible mark Gosdin left on country music with his deep, soulful voice and poignant lyrics.
VernFest was born out of a desire to pay homage to one of country music's most influential figures. Vern Gosdin's music narrated tales of love, loss, and life in a way that resonated with fans around the world. It's only fitting that we gather annually to celebrate his contributions to the genre.
VernFest features a lineup of renowned artists and emerging talents who have been influenced by Gosdin's music. From renditions of his classic hits like "Chiseled in Stone" and "If You're Gonna Do Me Wrong" to inspired original pieces, the festival is a showcase of true country spirit.
No one knows Vern Gosdin quite like Max T. Barnes, our festival host and a close collaborator of Gosdin. Max started his songwriting career with Gosdin's hit "Way Down Deep" and went on to co-write over 50 songs for him. Festival-goers will be treated to behind-the-scenes stories and anecdotes about their creative journeys together, delivered by Max himself.
Whether you're a lifelong fan or a newcomer to country music, VernFest promises an unforgettable experience. Join us in Nashville to celebrate the life, music, and legacy of Vern Gosdin. We can't wait to welcome you and share this special event dedicated to a true country music legend. See you at VernFest!
