(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - It's going to be two big nights of country music at the 2018 Lawrenceburg Fall Fest.

On Monday morning, Fall Fest organizer Marie Edwards was in the Eagle Country 99.3 studio to reveal this year's Fall Fest musical lineup.

Moore is best-known for hit songs such as "Small Town USA", "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away", "Til My Last Day", "Lettin' the Night Roll", "You Look Like I Need A Drink", and "Somebody Else Will."

Walker Montgomery, the son of country music icon John Michael Montgomery and nephew of Eddie Montgomery, will open up for Moore on Saturday night.
