The now-annual event, held October 2-4, is a chance to discover some future household names, including Drake Milligan, Frank Ray, Brice Long, Anniston Pate, Alex Lambert, Terry McBride, and Madeline Edwards.<\/p>\n<p>Milligan and Edwards are the breakout stars of the pack. Arlington native <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drakemilligan.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Milligan<\/a> made his name playing a young Elvis Presley on the CMT series Sun Records and was a fan favorite on competition shows America\u2019s Got Talent and American Idol. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.madelineedwardsmusic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Edwards<\/a> is breaking barriers as a Black woman in country music.

Still, the singer-songwriters won\u2019t be performing on traditional stages. Instead, the talented musicians will strum at various special events and showcases throughout the resort.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, October 2, Ray, Pate, and Edwards will headline Dinner and a Show, a three-course feast at the hotel\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lacanteraresort.com\/sweetfire-kitchen-menu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">SweetFire Kitchen<\/a> featuring Southern cuisine prepared by chef Julian Ramirez. Several of the attending artists will then congregate for String and Stories, an intimate concert in the lobby.<\/p>\n<p>Milligan, Lambert, Long, and McBride will headline an Acoustic Songwriter Showcase on Friday, October 3. The performances will give music fans the \u201cthree chores and the truth\u201d of country music with stripped-down arrangements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"1108c\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"93cd5fd1ad19e0958277b29f5d42e784\" data-rm-shortcode-name=\"rebelmouse-image\" class=\"rm-shortcode rm-lazyloadable-image \" lazy-loadable=\"true\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201821%201366'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-runner-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/madeline-edwards.jpg\" width=\"1821\" height=\"1366\" alt=\"Madeline Edwards\"\/> Madeline Edwards is making waves with her genre-defying sound.Madeline Edwards\/ Facebook<\/p>\n<p>Saturday, October 4, takes a chic turn with the In Gold Dust We Walk Fashion Show curated by Mayra Farret of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fashiontastemakerstx\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">FashionTaste Makers<\/a> and featuring designer <a href=\"https:\/\/montserratmesseguer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Montserrat Messenguer<\/a>.
