Gary Allan: A listing for singer Gary Allan's performance in the hour-by-hour guide to this weekend's Stagecoach country music festival in Thursday's Calendar Weekend stated that he had been "tossed off" Rascal Flatts' tour. It was singer Eric Church, who also is appearing at Stagecoach, whom Rascal Flatts had asked to leave its tour early.

Old 97's. The fiery '90s alt-country band from Dallas that launched singer-songwriter Rhett Miller is currently at work on its first studio album since 2004's "Drag It Up."

CATCH IT IF YOU CAN
David Serby. With easygoing Dwight Yoakam-meets-Ricky Nelson vocals, his skill is at sharp turns of phrase, and he has a fine debut album getting him noticed in country circles.

ALSO
Old School Freight Train. The quartet from Charlottesville, Va., uses its bluegrass foundation on a wide range of material, including from Randy Newman's "Louisiana 1927," to rock, jazz, Latin and Celtic music.

CATCH IT IF YOU CAN
Jason Michael Carroll. Carroll's recently released first album became the highest-charting country debut since Billy Ray Cyrus' in 1992 -- and there wasn't even a dance attached. Instead, Carroll made the most of his resonant and woody baritone to break through with an oblique tale of child abuse, "Alyssa Lies."

The Grascals. A favorite of Dolly Parton's, the Grammy-nominated group took just a year to move from being the International Bluegrass Music Assn.'s emerging artist of the year to its top honor, entertainer of the year. \o7(Appaloosa Stage, 2:30-3:20)

Cowboy Nation. See "Critic's Pick."

Jamie O'Neal. Before Keith Urban clicked in the U.S., O'Neal came out of Australia with a couple of No. 1 hits, "There Is No Arizona" and "When I Think About Angels." She's been chasing angels ever since.

Chris Hillman & Herb Pedersen. As a founding member of the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers, Hillman plays a key role in the annals of country rock. He and esteemed session guitarist Pedersen went on to form the much-admired Desert Rose Band in the '80s and continue to treat country, rock, folk and bluegrass as neighbors, not adversaries.

CATCH IT IF YOU CAN
Richie Furay. Another Southern California country rock luminary, Furay was there for the birth of Buffalo Springfield and Poco. For a while, following a religious conversion, he played Christian music exclusively, but in recent years he's tapped his secular rock and country catalogs as well. He'll be backed up at Stagecoach by Hillman & Pedersen, which ups the ante on his set.
