Colbie Caillat and Gavin DeGraw LB DAY COMCAST AMPHITHEATRE

COLBIE CAILLAT debuted in 2007 with “Coco,” which sold more than 3 million copies, including hit singles “Realize,” “The Little Things” and “Bubbly,” one of the best-selling digital tracks of all time. In 2008, she recorded a duet with Jason Mraz, “Lucky,” which won a Grammy. In 2009, Caillat released her second album, “Breakthrough,” which was nominated for two Grammy Awards.

She has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide and more than 10 million singles. Her new album, “All of You,” has already garnered two top-10 hits with “I Do” and “Brighter Than The Sun,” which hit No. 1 on March 24.

GAVIN DEGRAW’S debut album “Chariot” was released in 2003, sold more than 1 million copies and featured his first No. 1 hit, “I Don’t Want to Be,” along with “Chariot” and “Follow Through.” DeGraw’s second album, self-titled “Gavin DeGraw” was released in 2008 and debuted at No. 1 on the digital sales chart. His most recent album “Sweeter” recently garnered a No. 1 pop hit with “Not Over You.” Alongside a musical career, he also has performed on multiple TV shows, and his songs can be heard across TV and film. “I Don’t Want to Be” was chosen as the theme song for CW's “One Tree Hill,” in which DeGraw appeared in an on-screen role in three episodes.

Most recently, millions of viewers watched DeGraw compete this year in ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars.”

Joe Walsh LB DAY COMCAST AMPHITHEATRE JOE WALSH has been a member of three commercially successful bands: the James Gang, Barnstorm, and one of the most successful rock acts of all time and America’s biggest band, the Eagles. He also has experienced success as a solo artist and prolific session musician, especially with B.B. King, Dan Fogelberg, Warren Zevon, The Beach Boys, Steve Winwood, Bob Seger and Lionel Richie. In 1975, Walsh joined the Eagles as lead guitarist, vocalist and keyboard player, writing or singing lead vocals on some of their biggest hits, including “Life in the Fast Lane,” “Pretty Maids All in a Row,” “In The City,” “Last Good Time In Town,” “One Day at a Time,” “Life’s Been Good” and “All Night Long.” Walsh recently released his 10th solo album “Analog Man.”

Friday, Aug. 31

Jeff Dunham LB DAY COMCAST AMPHITHEATRE JEFF DUNHAM, “America’s favorite comedian,” is a ventriloquist and standup comedian who also has appeared on numerous television shows, including “Late Show with David Letterman,” “Comedy Central Presents,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “Sonny with a Chance.” He has four specials that run on Comedy Central: “Jeff Dunham: Arguing with Myself,” “Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity,” “Jeff Dunham’s Very Special Christmas Special” and “Jeff Dunham: Controlled Chaos.” Dunham has been credited with reviving ventriloquism and doing more to promote the art form than anyone since Edgar Bergen. Dunham is the top-grossing stand-up act in North America and among the most successful acts in Europe as well. He has sold more than 10 million DVDs, sold millions in merchandise sales and received more than 350 million hits on YouTube (his introduction of Achmed the Dead Terrorist in “Spark of Insanity” was ranked as the ninth-most-watched YouTube video at the time). “Very Special Christmas Special” was the most-watched telecast in Comedy Central history, with its DVD going quadruple platinum (selling more than 4 million copies) in the first two weeks.

Demi Lovato with special guest

Hot Chelle Rae LB DAY COMCAST AMPHITHEATRE

DEMI LOVATO is an acclaimed singer, songwriter, musician and actress who has won 24 awards, including Teen Choice, People's Choice and MTV Music Awards. As an actress, she became well known for her starring roles in the “Camp Rock” movies, as Sonny Munroe in the Disney sitcom “Sonny with a Chance” and as the star of the 2009 movie “Princess Protection Program.” As a solo musical artist, Lovato released her debut album “Don’t Forget” in 2008. The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard charts, selling more than 500,000 copies. Her second album, “Here We Go Again” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Album Chart. Her third studio album, “Unbroken,” was released Sept. 20, 2011, and contained her highest career debut the top-10 hit single “Skyscraper.” She is now working on her fourth album and has released a new single, “Give Your Heart A Break.” Lovato also is involved in philanthropic activities through charity work and various social and environmental causes.

HOT CHELLE RAE was named after a MySpace stalker who provided the band with a rather entertaining era of online activity until her false identity was brought to light. The first single from Hot Chelle Rae’s album, “Whatever,” was released in 2011; “Tonight Tonight” was a huge hit that sold more than 2 million copies and made it all the way to No. 1 on the Billboard Adult Pop charts. The band’s next single, “I Like It Like That,” featuring New Boyz was a top-20 hit, and it debuted in Billboard’s chart with the new single “Honestly.” In summer 2007, the band hit the road and opened a sold-out concert for rapper Lil Jon. Most recently, Hot Chelle Rae has been opening concerts for Taylor Swift in her world tour, “Speak Now.” The band also has performed on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” with Ryan Seacrest and this year’s Pro Bowl ceremonies.

With more than 844,000 “likes” on Facebook, the band’s well on its way to the million mark.

The album produced three singles, all of which reached the top 20 on the Billboard Country Songs chart: “Yee Haw,” “Startin’ with Me” and “Something About a Woman.” A second album, 2009’s “Easy Does It,” has accounted for three more hit singles: “Don’t Think I Can’t Love You,” “Eight Second Ride” and “Tell Me.” Also in 2009, Owen received the Academy of Country Music Awards Top New Male Vocalist award. In 2011, Owen achieved his first No. 1 on the country charts with the title track to his third album, "Barefoot Blue Jean Night," and has followed that up this year with the multiweek No. 1 hit song “Alone With You.” Owen has also toured with some of the biggest country acts, including Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, Little Big Town, Sugarland and Keith Urban.

Back once again — bigger, better and more spectacular than before. Help us celebrate 13 years of great family fun in Les Schwab Tires Familyville.

With daily activities, creatures and shows, it’s sure to be a fantastic time for the entire family. A big thank-you to Les Schwab Tires for providing Kid's Day at the Oregon State Fair free.

GASCAR CRAZY ANIMAL RACES

Returning by popular demand, at the GASCAR Racetrack, watch interspecies animal racing like you’ve never seen before. GASCAR Crazy Animal Races are just that: goats, sheep, chickens, pigs and other surprise animals wearing racing silks as they hoof and waddle their way around … and sometimes over … the track. Truly one of the craziest races you will ever see. Times are 11 am, 1 pm, 4, pm, 7 pm.

BRAD’S WORLD REPTILES

An awesome display — observe, learn and interact with a variety of large reptiles and exotic animals in this “hands on” experience for people of all ages.

GREAT AMERICAN PETTING ZOO

Come and see the award-winning Great American Petting Zoo, a family favorite at the Oregon State Fair. Enjoy hands-on interaction with the animals.

Pet and feed the animals in an open tent arena located in Les Schwab Tires Familyville. The petting zoo is fun for the entire family. Marion County hosts a hand-washing station near the petting zoo exit to help kids learn the importance of washing their hands after petting animals and the proper techniques for making sure little hands and fingers are clean.

The most diverse exotic refuge of its kind in the state of Oregon is dedicated to helping all species of wild animals who, for various reasons, find themselves without a place to live.

Want to rock? Jam on a 10-foot-long keyboard? Shred an electric guitar on four guitar stations? Bang the drums on four drum stations, plus see rare memorabilia, rock ‘n’ roll photo ops and much more? “Rock U Music Pavilion” will showcase various areas of the music industry.

Music fans and enthusiasts, along with the amateur and professional music community, will not forget this unique opportunity to experience, play, learn, share and create all in the same building.
