The Fruit Yard has added yet another show to its 2026 season lineup: country singer Hudson Westbrook.
Westbrook will play Thursday, Oct. 8, at the Modesto venue. He’ll be joined by guests Kenny Whitmire and Ethan Burdick.
Tickets are set to go on sale 10 a.m. Friday, July 17.
Called one “of country music’s fastest-rising stars” in a press release, Westbrook is bringing his 24-date “Hits Me Tour” to Modesto.
Westbrook has had “an incredible year on the road,” the release said, having toured with musicians George Strait and Miranda Lambert, among others. He also received a 2026 nomination for new male artist by the Academy of Country Music.
Westbrook is known for “his authentic songwriting, unmistakable Texas roots, and electrifying live performances,” the press release said. His latest single is “Hits Me.”
Westbrook joins remaining artists on the Fruit Yard schedule: ZZ Top with Cheap Trick (Aug. 9); Brantley Gilbert (Aug. 13); and Ty Myers (Aug. 21).
Officially called The Fruit Yard Chicken Ranch Casino Resort Amphitheater, it’s at 7948 Yosemite Blvd. There is lawn and reserved seating to accommodate about 3,500 people.
