College Station singer-songwriter Kendale Walker will open for country star Josh Turner at Round Rock Amp on Friday, September 11, as part of Turner’s This Country Music Thing Tour. Walker, a Texas A&M student pursuing music, is among the emerging artists selected to perform ahead of the headliner on what is shaping up to be a significant career milestone for the rising talent.
Walker recently showcased her artistry on KBTX’s Free Music Friday program, performing her new single “Bluff,” which officially releases September 18, 2026. The performance marked another step in her growing presence on the Texas music scene, where she has built a reputation as an emerging country artist known for her classic country sound and clever lyricism.
The opening slot at Round Rock Amp represents a meaningful opportunity for Walker to reach a broader audience alongside an established artist like Turner. Josh Turner’s This Country Music Thing Tour has drawn significant crowds across multiple dates, with the Round Rock show presented by KASE 100.7 and 98.1 KVET. Spencer Hatcher is also billed as an opener for the evening, which begins at 6 p.m. with doors opening at the same time.
Walker’s path to music began early, and she has since developed into a songwriter who performs original material regularly. Her presence at the Aggieland Music Summit in April 2026, where she performed original works on guitar alongside other student performers, reflected her active engagement with the music community at Texas A&M. Now, with “Bluff” on the verge of release and a high-profile opening slot confirmed, Walker is positioning herself as part of the next generation of Texas country artists.
