The 2022 Kingman Route 66 Fest is ratcheting the live music line up by a good country mile.

Friday kicks off with Robert Kramer, who has been a mainstay on the mid-west music scene for over 20 years. Garland Hackney will join Kramer on stage while performing from his latest album “Kingman Station”, which was inspired by his experience while traveling through Kingman by train. Robert Kramer will perform a ninety-minute set beginning at 4 PM.

Friday night will close off with the Jonathon Lee Band. Jonathan has local roots, growing up and kicking up dust on the roads of Kingman in his younger years. These days, the Jonathon Lee Band is a west coast country band based out of San Diego with a little mix of rock and soul. Rickety Cricket hosted the band during the 2017 Andy Devine Days Festival to a lively crowd and there are a lot of fans excited to see him return for the 66 Fest.

Saturday live music kicks off at 4 PM with The Nicki Park Band. Nicki and her band plays pop rock variety of music from 70's through today and will play a great mix of road trip cover music and some great tunes from her own releases.

The 2022 Kingman Route 66 Fest will close out with the Cash’d Out Premier Johnny Cash Show, a San Diego based band that channels the style and rhythm of the late, great Man in Black.
