Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – September 21, 2025 – Jonesboro is about to come alive Monday night, September 22, when local trio TRIPPP takes the Central Chevrolet stage presented by 104.9 The Fox at the Northeast Arkansas District Fair. It will be the first of six back‐to‐back nights of live entertainment — each night free with fair gate admission.
TRIPPP is made up of triplet brothers — Treyson, JD, and Chaz Stafford — born in Jonesboro, now based in Nashville. Their music mixes country roots with Memphis blues, Kentucky bluegrass, and Southern rock, all underscored by tight family harmonies.
JD handles lead vocals, Chaz plays guitar, Treyson plays bass — former Belmont students who have turned full-time into songwriters and performers.
TRIPPP made their Grand Ole Opry debut in December 2022 as special guests of Josh Turner; in 2024, JD won a Golden Ticket to Hollywood on American Idol. They’ve collected awards like “Young Artists of the Year” from the Arkansas Country Music Awards, won Belmont University’s Songwriter’s Showcase in 2023, been named one of “25 Country Artists to Watch” by The Nashville Briefing, and several times voted “Best Local Band” in Northeast Arkansas. They’ve played nearly 300 shows, opened for big names, and raised more than $15,000 for Make-A-Wish and other charities. Their most recent single “Little Too Drunk” dropped in May 2024; more music is on the way.
Here’s the lineup for the following nights of music:
Tuesday, Sept. 23 (7 PM) Ken Yarbrough & Friends — a more acoustic, local/regional blend.
Wednesday, Sept. 24 (7 PM) Bloodhound — a regional band known locally, with strong appeal in Northeast Arkansas.
Thursday, Sept. 25 (7 PM) Lori Dial & Friends — featuring community performers from around the area.
Friday, Sept. 26 (7 PM) Crafton Brothers featuring Paige Traylor — covers, high energy, bridging country and rock sounds.
Saturday, Sept. 27 (7 PM) Eli Adams — a younger Arkansas artist with traditional country, outlaw, bluegrass influences.
The Fair runs through Saturday, September 27 at the NEA District Fairgrounds at Nettleton Baptist Church, Jonesboro.
