Take a trip back in time and hear the story of where it all began and has been since.
Tradition begins
A night unlike any other
Since 2015, Country Music’s biggest artists have been hitting the stage at 99.5 QYK Guitar Pull. Guitar Pull has been around for 8 years now, but since we all know how 2020 went, only 7 shows have been able to go on. Every fall we announce our lineup for the next year. Before getting into our 2023 99.5 QYK Guitar Pull artists, we want to take a look back on every Guitar Pull artist since 2015.
If this is your first time learning about Guitar Pull, you might be wondering how this is different than your average concert. At most concerts, you might get lucky to hear the artist slow it down and pull out the acoustic to play a few songs. This event is everything but average. With every artist sitting side by side with only a story and a guitar, these performances are unlike anything you’ll be able to see ever again. Listen to the artists swap stories behind the songs and take a look inside of how some of your favorite songs were written.
Some of the best country artists of the past, present, and future have sat on this stage. While taking a look through the past, we did some research on what all these artists have accomplished throughout the years and it’s crazy to see.

The magic of the QYK Guitar Pull lies in its stripped-down performances. With each artist armed only with a guitar and a story, the night feels less like a formal concert and more like a jam session among friends. As the performers take turns, the others remain on stage, adding harmonies, sharing laughs, or simply being in the moment. There’s no big stage production—just pure acoustic music and storytelling that gives the audience an inside look into how their favorite songs were born.
