The Woodshed Music Festival returns to Willow Glen Resort in Enoch for its second year on September 18–19, bringing two days of live music, food, drinks, and local vendors to three separate stages. Gates open at 11 AM each day, inviting the community to experience a diverse array of musical talent in a lush, ten-acre wooded setting located just two miles off the interstate near Cedar City.
Leading this year’s lineup is acclaimed country musician Ben Haggard, the son of legendary singer-songwriter Merle Haggard. While the headliner brings a storied country pedigree to the event, the festival is intentionally designed to showcase a wide variety of genres beyond traditional country. Attendees can expect a mix of jazz, folk, blues, rock, and acoustic performances throughout the weekend. The full roster of nearly two dozen acts features Dillon Jones, Muddy Boots, Seizer, Fenwick Way, David Williams, Peter Buis, Cody Eldredge, Ember Moat, and Abe Peyton. Also scheduled to take the stage are Country Muse, Ben and Abe, Kalei Chase, Most Wanted, Wranglers, Mesa, Total Reset, Badwater, Luna Worldcast, Lonely Cactus Band, and Sirri Kandiyeli.
Festival owner Brad Lark brings over two decades of experience managing music festivals in Johnson Valley, California. Though he originally envisioned launching the Utah event in 2026, the timeline was accelerated for a successful debut in 2025. The inaugural Woodshed Music Festival took place in October 2025, featuring 16 bands across two stages. Building on that momentum, the 2026 edition has expanded to three stages and added a half-dozen more bands to the schedule. Lark noted that the expansion allows for a more robust lineup and a richer experience for the audience.
In addition to the music, the festival offers a variety of artisan vendors and food trucks, creating a festive, family-friendly environment. A particularly exciting feature this year is a guitar giveaway. Troy Hill, known as The Country Muse, has donated a custom-built electric guitar that will be given to one lucky individual holding a two-day festival ticket.
The Willow Glen Resort is located at 3308 N. Bulldog Road in Enoch. Tickets and additional information regarding the full performance schedule and vendor participation are available at woodshedfest.com. For general or media inquiries, the resort can be reached at 435-586-3275 or [email protected].
