Need some suggestions for concerts.

This is my first post on here and looking for ideas on artist to come play in the area.

A little background, my good friend owns a well established "honky tonk" in the SE Louisiana area. It is the ultimate Redneck bar. Recently he had John Conlee, Johnny Lee (coming again this month) and several others.

We have been discussing some newer acts that still have that old sound. He recently booked a well established singer for a concert in April. I am trying to think of some younger country music acts that will draw a crowd but staying away from the pop country.

Give me some ideas that will draw a good crowd for him.
