ABOUT “PRIME COUNTRY” 90s COUNTRY NIGHT
Every Thursday, Stoney’s North Forty takes a two-step back in time and relives the golden age of country music with a 90s Country Throwback Night. With legends like Alan Jackson, Faith Hill, George Strait, and Joe Diffie, DJ Dom will keep the party going with everyone’s favorite 90s country classics and most popular line dance songs all night long.
ABOUT HANK RUFF
Blending the fiddle-and-steel twang of classic ’90s country with a fresh, contemporary edge, Hank Ruff is quickly becoming one of the most exciting rising stars in country music.
Raised in Southern Indiana, Hank’s love for country music began at an early age. Influenced by legendary artists like Clint Black, Wade Hayes, and John Anderson, he grew up immersed in traditional country sounds before developing a style all his own. Starting on mandolin at age 11 and later transitioning to guitar, Hank’s musical journey has been rooted in authentic storytelling and a deep appreciation for country music’s rich heritage.
As a songwriter, Hank draws inspiration from real-life experiences, crafting songs about young love, heartbreak, friendship, and the unforgettable moments that shape us. Many of his earliest songs were written alongside his father, including fan-favorite tracks like “If the Boot Fits.” His relatable lyrics and genuine approach have earned him a loyal fanbase across the country.
In 2022, Hank’s EP Hellbender reached the #1 spot on the iTunes All-Genre Chart, solidifying his place as one of country music’s most promising new artists. Since then, he has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in country music, including Jelly Roll, HARDY, Jordan Davis, Rodney Atkins, and Warren Zeiders.
ABOUT BIKINI BULL RIDING LADIES’ NIGHT
On the second Wednesday of every month, Bikini Bull Riding Ladies Night features $3 drinks for ladies. All bull riding participants receive a free bikini from Stoney’s North Forty, and ladies can compete for $500 in cash prizes.
ABOUT TRISTON MAREZ
At 29 years old, Triston Marez has amassed over 100 million streams while staying true to the raw, honky-tonk heart of country music. Rooted in dancehall tradition but driven by modern storytelling, Marez has carved out a sound that feels timeless, lived-in, and unmistakably his own.
A Houston native with deep Oklahoma family ties, Marez was raised in a musical household steeped in bluegrass, fiddle tunes, and classic country. He picked up a guitar at just six years old, played his first live show in a first-grade talent competition with a Buck Owens song, and never looked back. Before music became the full-time focus, Marez worked as a ranch hand and even rode bulls — experiences that continue to shape the grit, honesty, and blue-collar perspective in his songwriting.
Marez first gained national attention with his debut releases, blending rich vocals with stories of long nights, hard lessons, and fleeting love, all delivered with a sound that nods to influences like Chris LeDoux, Aaron Watson, and Cody Johnson. His breakout moment came with his debut album, which featured a duet with country music legend Ronnie Dunn on the fan-favorite track “Where The Neon Lies.” The collaboration cemented Marez as an artist capable of honoring country music’s past while confidently pushing it forward.
In 2025, Marez made the intentional decision to step back from releasing music, not to disappear, but to refocus on writing, vision, and the next chapter of his career. That year off became a creative reset, sharpening his perspective and setting the foundation for what’s next. Now, in 2026, Triston Marez returns with renewed purpose and a clear direction. His upcoming single, “Saddles and Spurs,” signals the start of this new era, A return to hard-driving, dancehall-ready country that celebrates freedom, grit, and the road-tested life he knows best.
ABOUT PAYTON HOWIE
Blazing her own trail in the world of country music, Payton Howie is quickly becoming one of the genre’s most compelling rising stars. With over 4 million career streams and a social following surpassing 150,000 strong, she’s capturing hearts and commanding stages with her unapologetic sound and magnetic presence. A fierce performer with a voice that blends grit and soul, her momentum continues to accelerate, recently touring alongside powerhouse artists such as Parker McCollum, Lainey Wilson, Ashley McBryde, Garth Brooks, Gretchen Wilson, Lukas Nelson, Corey Kent, Tracy Lawrence, Aaron Watson, Trisha Yearwood, and Warren Zeiders —further cementing her place among today’s top-tier country talent. Her single “Ramblin’ Woman” showcased her international reach, soaring to #5 on the Ireland Country iTunes Download Chart, and her growing catalog continues to resonate deeply with fans around the globe. Industry recognition has followed closely behind, with Payton being nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year by both the Texas Regional Radio and the Texas Country Music Association.
