CASEY, IL – Country music star Tyler Farr brought his chart-topping hits and down-to-earth charm to Casey this weekend, delivering a memorable headlining performance at the Casey Popcorn Festival on Saturday evening. A massive crowd gathered at Fairview Park for the free concert, capping off a weekend that Farr spent connecting with the local community.

On Saturday afternoon, he delighted residents by taking part in a uniquely Casey tradition. The “Redneck Crazy” singer was hoisted high into the air to stand atop the World’s Largest Rocking Chair.

On Sunday, Farr took to the stage and treated fans to the powerful, gritty vocals he’s known for. The energetic set was packed with his string of No. 1 hits, including the Platinum-selling “Whiskey in My Water” and “A Guy Walks Into a Bar.”

Farr, the first artist signed to Jason Aldean’s Night Train Records, is known for his no-frills authenticity and deep appreciation for his fans. His visit proved to be a major highlight for the annual Popcorn Festival.

On Saturday night, Farr was hoisted high into the air atop the World’s Largest Rocking Chair.
