Several generations of “Dukes of Hazzard” fans will gather in Nashville, Tennessee on Saturday, June 8th to celebrate “Dukes of Hazzard Fan Fair” with the entire cast of the show. The event, which coincides with the CMA Music Festival, will be centered at Cooter’s Place on McGavock Pike across from the Grand Ole Opry.
“It’s not often that we can all get together like this,” says Ben Jones, who played the sidekick mechanic “Cooter” on the ever popular international hit. “But it is a thrill for us and a big kick for the fans when we do!”
John Schneider (Bo), Tom Wopat (Luke), Catherine Bach (Daisy), James Best (Rosco), Sonny Shroyer (Enos) and Rick Hurst (Cletus) will join Jones for the day’s events, which will culminate with a Hazzard Hoedown concert at the Nashville Palace featuring the whole cast onstage with Cooter’s Garage Band.
“We haven’t all been together in Nashville since our DukesFest celebrations in 2006 and 2007. They were the largest fan gatherings for any film or television show ever. One year we had over 100,000 folks show up at the State Fairgrounds. This festival is intended to be smaller and a little more laid back than that, so hopefully everyone will get all those autographs!”
The Music Valley area around Cooter’s Place will host a Hazzard County Car Show, with scores of General Lees, Hazzard Police Cars, Daisy Jeeps, and Boss Hogg’s Cadillacs. There will be a “Hazzard Youngun’s Area with children’s activities and lots of things to jump up and down on,” Jones adds.
“So its cars and stars and music”, says “Cooter”. “Just like Hazzard County and a perfect family event for a Nashville weekend. See y’all there!”

After an overflow crowd packed the Yellow Barn at Shenandoah Caverns, Virginia for the “Shenandoah Jamboree” in January, Ben “Cooter” Jones has announced a monthly schedule for the event, which features Jones along with “Cooter’s Garage Band” and a number of country music legends.
“The schedule is easy to remember,” says Jones. “The show will be on the first Saturday night of each month, from April through November. Even ol’ Cooter can remember that!”
Jones and the band, featuring vocalist Lisa Meadows, have been crisscrossing the country for fourteen years playing festivals and fairs to crowds as large as 50,000. “We’ve played everything from parking lots to the Grand Ol’ Opry,” says Jones, “and slowly but surely we’ve gotten ourselves a national reputation.”
“So we are very excited to be able to play in our own backyard at a venue as unique and convenient as the Yellow Barn. The Barn is a perfect place for our kind of traditional family show, and it is right off of Interstate 81 at exit 269. I have a feeling that this is the start of something that could be around for many years.”
Jones says that Grammy winning country star Linda Davis will be the special guest on Saturday, April 6th. Besides her megahit duet “Does He Love You?” with Reba McIntyre, Davis is also known for hits like her chart topping “Some Things Are Meant To Be”.
“She’s a great singer and a great lady,” says Jones. “We’re also already working to schedule folks like T. Graham Brown and the incomparable Dr. Ralph Stanley. And of course, our friends from the ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ will be showing up from time to time. Plus, a big part of our show will feature top talent from this area, which has always been a haven for great picking and singing.”
Jones is also in talks with a cable network about televising the “Shenandoah Jamboree”.
