After an exciting Friday night finale headlined by Asleep at the Wheel, The Wild West Fest kicks back up Saturday with some of the best acts in Texas country music.

"We've got an excellent line up," says Backporch Production's Mark Powell, "and some of them it's there first time to Abilene."

The show kicks off on Saturday with Charla Corn, the 2011 Female Vocalist of the Year for Texas Country Music. In the bullpen, is Sheila Marshall, a finalist in Nashville Star.  Next up is Kylie Rae Harris.

Mark Powell's own band, Mark Powell and the Lariat, take the stage next followed by Saturday's headliner, Kevin Fowler.

"Kevin Fowler has had a stream of Texas Country hits," says Powell, "He plays here pretty frequently, has had quite a bit of success lately, especially with his new single That Girl."
