The Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival® is thrilled to announce that country music sensation Drew Baldridge will headline this year’s Malloy Toyota Country Music Party on the Q102 Stage! The event will take place at 8:00 pm on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at the Tolley Dental Zone inside the James R. Wilkins, Jr. Athletic and Event Center on the campus of Shenandoah University.

Drew Baldridge has achieved enormous success across all aspects of his career—and he’s doing it on his own terms. With over 350 million total catalog streams, Baldridge has carved his own independent path, reaching milestone after milestone. His viral hit “She’s Somebody’s Daughter” has amassed over 400 million TikTok impressions and has been streamed over 120 million times, all without editorial playlists. Now climbing the Billboard Country Music Chart, the track has made its mark as a Top 10 hit with a fully independent team. Last October, Baldridge released his second hit “Tough People” which was written by Adam Sanders, Jordan Walker and Luke Combs. “Tough People” is currently featured on iHeartRadio’s 40 Biggest Country hits list and is making its way up the charts. 

Signed to Sony Music Publishing, Baldridge is also an accomplished songwriter, with over 500 songs to his name, including major label cuts for artists like Bailey Zimmerman, LOCASH, Chase Matthew, and more. Known for his electrifying live performances, he has shared the stage with country superstars like Eric Church, Jason Aldean, and Luke Bryan and toured with Granger Smith and LOCASH.

In 2025, Baldridge will be performing across the United States and Europe alongside Ashley McBryde Cody Johnson, Dierks Bentley, Lainey Wilson and many more. Drew will also be joining Dylan Marlowe and Bailey Zimmerman starting in June for the New to Country Summer Tour.

Opening the evening will be Chris Darlington, an independent country artist from the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. Influenced by legends like Garth Brooks and Chris Stapleton, Chris combines gritty vocals with heartfelt lyrics that resonate with fans across the country. Known for his hit singles like “Let Him In” and “Like Tomorrow’s Gone”.
