Justin Moore, the Eli Young Band, Joe Diffie, Cassadee Pope and Blackjack Billy have been added to the line-up for the 2014 Oregon Jamboree.
The additional acts will be joining previously announced Miranda Lambert, Tim McGraw and Jake Owen for the 22nd festival, on Aug. 1-3 in Sweet Home.
This will be the first time at the Jamboree for Moore, Pope and Blackjack Billy.
“The 2014 line-up is really shaping up to be one of our best yet. We have a great balance of major established artists, classic county and up and coming acts – and we aren’t even done announcing yet,” said Erin Regrutto, Oregon Jamboree festival director.
Moore has dented the country radio charts with three No. 1s in the anything-but-big-city
“Small Town USA,” the sentimental-family-embracing “If Heaven Weren’t So Far Away” and the fidelity pledge “Til
My Last Day,” in addition to the Top 10 mission declaration “Backwoods.”

Moore just recently released his third album, “Off The Beaten Path,” in September.
The Eli Young Band has two No. 1 hits, “Crazy Girl” and “Even If It Breaks Your Heart,” tucked under their belt both which have been certified platinum. Their newest single, “Drunk Last Night,” off their upcoming fifth studio album, was released to country radio on July 1 with great success. The band has received 11 ACM Award nominations, three CMA nominations and one Grammy nomination.

With the release of Jason Aldean’s hit “1994” earlier this year, which name-checked many of Joe Diffie’s 12 No. 1 hits, the legendary singer has found himself squarely back in the hearts and minds of country fans.
