Augusta’s KICKS 99 Guitar Pull Delivers Two Unforgettable Nights of Music and Community Giving

For 26 years, the KICKS 99 Guitar Pull has been more than a concert for the United Way of Central Savannah River Area (CRSA) - it has been a tradition, a celebration, and a powerful act of giving. This year was no exception. On November 11th and 12th, the Bell Auditorium once again filled with thousands of country music fans eager to experience two unforgettable nights of storytelling, acoustic performances, and the magic that happens only when Nashville's brightest stars meet Augusta's biggest hearts.

What began as a single-night event has grown into a two-night showcase, reflecting the demand and devotion this community has for the Guitar Pull. And while the music is the draw, the purpose behind it remains the heartbeat of the event. Each year, the Guitar Pull benefits the United Way of the CSRA, serving as its single largest annual donation-a lifeline that helps feed families and support essential services throughout the Central Savannah River Area.

The event was hosted by Dub and Cody from the KICKS Morning Show along with entire on-air crew.

Night One kicked off with an electric blend of rising stars and seasoned hitmakers. Tucker Wetmore, Preston Cooper, Tyler Hubbard, Hudson Westbrook, and Dylan Scott traded stories, shared laughs, and delivered the intimate, acoustic moments the Guitar Pull is known for. Their camaraderie onstage matched the energy in the room, as a packed crowd cheered, sang along, and soaked in every moment.

Night Two brought a powerhouse lineup that continued the momentum. Mark Wills, Jackson Dean, Gavin Adcock, Rodney Atkins, and Joe Nichols each brought their own style, heart, and history to the stage. From emotional ballads to foot-stomping favorites, the artists captivated the audience, creating a two-night experience that longtime fans are already calling one of the strongest lineups yet!
