About The Soul Country Music Festival
Our 3rd annual Soul Country Music Festival is a national celebration of Black country music, culture, and community, produced by Wade & Associates Group in association with the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo and 102.3 KJLH Radio.
Held annually on the lawn of the Autry Museum of the American West in
Los Angeles, the festival showcases live music, DJ sets, line dancing, workshops, vendors, food, art, family activities, and cultural experiences rooted in soul and Western heritage. Born from the Soul Country Music ™ Star competition, the festival also hosts the SCMS National Finals, where regional winners from across the country compete for the $10,000 cash prize, exclusive prizes and national title.
The festival highlights Breast Cancer Awareness and Domestic Violence Prevention, with proceeds supporting the Wade & Associates Group Foundation and its community programs.
Dedicated to expanding visibility and opportunity for Soul Country Music, the festival honors the past, champions today’s artists, and inspires the future.
