Neal McCoy to headline Dutton Ranch Night
Neal McCoy will headline the 2026 Dutton Ranch Night.
FLUSHING – Dutton Ranch Night returns Saturday, June 6 to bring the “Jamboree Reunion” feeling with Neal McCoy headlining this year’s BBQ and concert.
This year, they’ve moved it to the first Saturday in June. The lakeside ranch venue will feel
like a familiar festival setting, with the Texan crooning his classic hits such as, “The Shake,” “The City Put the Country Back in Me,” and “No Doubt About It,” along with his big Summer festival anthem, “Billy’s Got His Beer Goggle’s On,” and “Wink.”
The night will feature two additional support acts, with gates opening at 5 p.m.
Ranch Night owner and creator, Chris Dutton said that he’s excited to host the sixth annual local festival, and the second one featuring Neal McCoy.
“The last time we brought Neal McCoy to Belmont County he played in front of 5,000 fans on a Friday night for Blame My Roots. That was more than twice the size of the previous year. The Neal McCoy impact on this Valley is huge,” Dutton said.
The Blame My Roots Festival, also owned and operated by Dutton, was launched in 2019 to fill the gap left when Jamboree In The Hills was disbanded after 41 years. That concert was discontinued in 2023.
Country music fans continue to travel to Belmont County for live music, as Dutton welcomes guests from western Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New York, and even Puerto Rico last year. “Our concerts feel like reunions, not only for us, but for everyone that has been traveling to Belmont County for over 40 years to see great country music,” Dutton said.
Neal McCoy has released 15 studio albums. In 1993, and broke through with the
back-to-back No. 1 singles “No Doubt About It” and “Wink,” from his platinum-certified album “No Doubt About It.”
His commercial success continued into the late 1990s with two more platinum albums
and a gold album, as well as six more top 10 hits. A seventh top 10 hit, “Billy’s Got His Beer Goggles On,”came in 2005 from his self-released album, “That’s Life.”
A new studio album, “XII,” arrived in 2012 co-produced by Blake Shelton & Miranda Lambert. In 2013, he released “Pride: A Tribute to Charley Pride,” Neal’s longtime friend and mentor.
The “Big Band Standards” CD, “You Don’t Know Me came in 2015. He entertained the local Jamboree crowd for decades, as a headliner known for climbing stage rafters, and wearing Jamboree and local merch.
Dutton Ranch Night 2026 will largely follow the same model as the last two years, having added
two-night camping in 2025 to the family, farm-to-table BBQ model they created in 2024 with the series’ first event that featured Sammy Kershaw, Bryan Martin, and a massive evening-encore fireworksdisplay.
The 2025 show featured Tracy Byrd, Braxton Keith, Mackenzie Carpenter and Noah Hicks. Attendees dined on a variety of the Dutton family’s own premium Ohio wagyu beef, from brisket and burnt ends to burgers and all-beef hotdogs. The food prep, cooking and service was handled by the talented staff of their own farm-to-table restaurant, The Pike 40 in Morristown.
Tier One Tickets will be on sale this Friday March 6th, including: General Admission lawn for $45, limited Premium tickets $80, as well as passes for camping, and premium couches.
Overnight concert parking will be free again this year with a suggested donation.
A self-guided farm tour, beef sales, and an extensive whiskey menu will again be featured at the 2026 show, along with couch bottle service. For more information and ticket sales, visit duttonranchnight.com or email ranchnight@duttoncattle.com.
