DETROIT (WWJ) - Hoedown fans count down the days until the music festival raids downtown Detroit.  But, it’s not all about the fans.

The Hoedown is a platform for new and popular artists to gain and retain fans.  Partying aside, these concerts boost careers to success. 

The Hoedown’s own hall-of-famers, ironically, are some of the most successful artists in the country music industry. 

Martina McBride, Rascal Flatts, Lady Antebellum and even Detroit’s own Kid Rock know how to saddle-up. 

It’s a true combination of performance and party.
