Here are some photos of Corey Kent at our 99.5 QYK 2024 Guitar Pull! Our 9th Annual 99.5 QYK Guitar Pull made its return on Sunday, November 17th at the Mahaffey Theater in St. Pete. Country Music’s hot new artists Corey Kent, Chayce Beckham, LOCASH, Matt Stell, and Chris Janson hit the stage in front of a SOLD-OUT crowd.
In past years of our QYK Guitar Pull, we have hosted Kane Brown, Scotty McCreery, Lainey Wilson, Morgan Wallen, and more! The annual event takes place in November and brings some of country music’s hottest and newest artists together on one stage to play acoustically together and swap stories on stage. It’s truly a show like no other.
Matt Stell is an Arkansas native but also spent time growing up in the Bradenton area. His influences stretch from Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley, through Alanis Morissette and Oasis, to Miranda Lambert and Jason Isbell. “Classic Country was the first soundtrack to my life when I was little,” he recalls, “and my mom took me to my first concert, which was Randy Travis and Alan Jackson.”
