Stillwater, OK-- Calf Fry, in partnership with the legendary Tumbleweed Dance Hall, continues its tradition of spotlighting rising stars in the Red Dirt country music scene. Known for launching the careers of many of today’s biggest names, both Calf Fry and Tumbleweed have become cornerstones of the genre. 

In anticipation of the 33rd Annual Calf Fry, set for May 1–3, 2025, the Tumbleweed Dance Hall hosted a six-week "Road to Calf Fry" battle of the bands. More than one hundred bands from across the region submitted entries for a chance to play the renowned festival stage. After six weeks of intense competition, The T.J. Todd Band from Ada, Oklahoma, emerged victorious. 

Formed in the summer of 2022, The T.J. Todd Band has quickly made a name for itself, sharing the stage with industry veterans like Kylie Morgan, Tanner Usrey, Jason Boland & The Stragglers, and Mark Chesnutt. Their unique blend of country twang, gritty guitars, and a driving rhythm section delivers an energetic live performance that draws crowds wherever they go. 

Calf Fry 2025 will feature eighteen acts over three days, with a standout lineup headlined by Treaty Oak Revival, Wyatt Flores, and Ian Munsick. Direct support includes performances by Ole 60, Tanner Usrey, Casey Donahew, and many more.
