The St. Joseph County Grange Fair Board of Directors announced Tuesday that country music group Diamond Rio and special guest Cash O’Riley will perform on September 25, 2021 at the fairgrounds in Centreville.

With the release of “Meet In The Middle” in 1991 Diamond Rio became the first country music group in history to reach No. 1 with a debut single. The band is also known for its hits “How Your Love Makes Me Feel,” “One More Day,” “Beautiful Mess,” “Unbelievable,” “In A Week or Two,” and more. Diamond Rio recently celebrated its 25th Anniversary, and in that time has sold more than 10 million albums, won a Grammy Award, a Dove Award, and six Vocal Group of the Year awards (CMA and ACM). They have released two Greatest Hit albums, a live and Christmas project, earned five multi-week no. 1 singles, 22 Top 10 singles, three certified Platinum and five gold albums, released an autobiography — “and this with zero band member changes.”
