Since 2015, Country Music’s biggest artists have been hitting the stage at 99.5 QYK Guitar Pull. Guitar Pull has been around for 8 years now, but since we all know how 2020 went, only 7 shows have been able to go on. Every fall we announce our lineup for the next year. Before getting into our 2023 99.5 QYK Guitar Pull artists, we want to take a look back on every Guitar Pull artist since 2015.
If this is your first time learning about Guitar Pull, you might be wondering how this is different than your average concert. At most concerts, you might get lucky to hear the artist slow it down and pull out the acoustic to play a few songs. This event is everything but average. With every artist sitting side by side with only a story and a guitar, these performances are unlike anything you’ll be able to see ever again. Listen to the artists swap stories behind the songs and take a look inside of how some of your favorite songs were written.
Some of the best country artists of the past, present, and future have sat on this stage. While taking a look through the past, we did some research on what all these artists have accomplished throughout the years and it’s crazy to see.
Over the past 9 years and 8 shows, 22 country artists have played the 99.5 QYK Guitar Pull and from those artists, there have been:
- 130+ Academy of Country Music nominations and 30+ wins
- 98+ CMA Awards nominations and 14+ wins
- 140+ combined No.1 singles as singers and/or songwriters
Now, we’re going to take a look back on Guitar Pull’s artists since 2015. Here is every artist who has taken the stage in Tampa Bay for 99.5 QYK Guitar Pull!
1. Brett Young
Brett Young gave a great performance for our QYK crowd. He performed his popular hits “In Case You Didn’t Know” “Mercy”, and “Dance With You”
2. Tigirlily Gold
The sister group received lots of love from the crowd, many just hearing them for the first time. The songs that won over the crowd were “Blonde”, “I Tried A Ring On”, and “Shoot Tequila”.
3. George Birge
After being inspired by a TikTok making fun of cliché country music, Birge sat down to write the song that would launch his career, “Beer Beer Truck Truck” and land him on the stage at this year’s Guitar Pull. George also sang a new song “She Only Dances To Cowboy Songs” and “Mind On You”.
4. Brian Kelley
The Florida half of Grammy-nominated duo, Florida Georgia Line, made his solo debut in 2021 making new waves by bringing his beach-infused lifestyle into his music. Brian Kelley blessed us with a sneak peek of his new party anthem
