The following information about the performers was provided by organizers of Chehalis Music in the Park:

The July 18 headliner, Billy Gilman, who performs pop and country, has been a country music star since he was 11 years old when he topped the country charts in 2000 with his smash hit “One Voice.” He remains in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest artist to ever top the country charts. After a break and finishing school, the Rhode Island native made his way to the “The Voice” stage in 2016. Gilman received a four-chair turn and was on Adam Levine’s team when he made it to the finals and finished in second place.

This was a chance for Gilman to grow outside of the country genre and perform such songs as Adele’s “When We Were Young” in his audition. He followed up with “Man in the Mirror,” “Fight Song,” “Crying,” “The Show Must Go On,” “All I Ask,” “Anyway,” “I Surrender” and, on finals night, “My Way” and “Because of Me”.

This is the show Gilman will bring to Chehalis. He does a tracked show with live vocals and will sing “One Voice” and a mix of pop to classics

Opener Randy Linder, who performs classic Rock, is well known to the Chehalis Music in the Park crowd and has played the series every year for nearly 15 years. He is best known for his tribute to Creedence Clearwater Revival with his “Creedence Revelation” band.

Linder also serves as the Chehalis Music in the Park technical director. He takes care of all the technical, sound and backline needs of each performance.

The July 25 headliner, Chicago Tribute Authority, will bring the sound of Chicago to life with an ensemble of 11 of the Northwest’s most skilled musicians. With a horn section, percussion and vocal talent, the tribute band delivers an authentic performance that captures the spirit and precision of the iconic rock band.

Their set list includes big hits and favorite Chicago tunes from “25 or 6 to 4” to “Beginnings” to “Saturday in the Park”.

The Music in the Park Stage will set a record for the number of musicians on it at one time when Chicago Tribute Authority performs.

Their website is available at chicagotributeauthorityseattle.com.

Their opener, The Power Players, is the same 11 musicians, and they offer two shows with the Chicago Tribute as their main act. The Power Players allows them to do other classic hits from other artists with a brass section.

They will open with a 45-minute Power Players set. After intermission, The Power Players will come back as Chicago Tribute Authority.

Some of the songs The Power Players will perform include “Vehicle,” “Long Train Running” and “Rosanna.”

The Aug. 1 headliner Suzy Bogguss, who performs country music, is a Grammy award-winning and platinum-selling artist who has covered country, swing, jazz, folk, Americana and roots music. The live performance — which includes her hits and choice material from her critically acclaimed albums — has been lauded by fans, critics and buyers as "a show not to miss,” the release stated.

During the creative explosion of country music in the 1990s, Bogguss sold 4 million records with radio hits like “Outbound Plane,” “Someday Soon,” “Letting Go,” “Drive South” and “Hey Cinderella.”

She earned eight Top 10 hits throughout the 1990s before exploring new influences — including jazz, western swing and the Bakersfield sound — during the 21st century.

"I'm feeling revitalized!" she said. “I feel so present in my live shows now, in a way I haven’t in years. I love playing my old songs, but I have new things to share, too. I called the album Prayin' For Sunshine because I've always been an optimistic person, and there's a need to be hopeful right now. There's so much turmoil in the world right now, but I've found a community of people who can agree on things that really count, like music.”
