WATCH: Buckle Up — The Best Little Country Music Festival in the Midwest

Thousands braved the pouring rain in Cincinnati, Ohio, Friday night to show their country spirit at the Buckle Up Festival on the banks of the Ohio River.

Despite the mud, rain and cold, Jamey Johnson, the Eli Young Band and the evening’s headliner, Alabama played to packed crowds at Cincinnati’s Sawyer Point park.

The rest of this weekend’s line up includes Willie Nelson, Allison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Jamey Johnson, The Band Perry and Kristian Bush.
