RANGELEY — When multi-platinum MCA Nashville recording artist Josh Turner performs at the Rangeley Wellness Pavilion on Saturday, July 25, multi-instrumentalist Craig Wayne Boyd, the seventh winner of “The Voice,” will be his opening act.

The concert raises money to support health and wellness programs and services provided by Rangeley Health and Wellness Partnership to residents and visitors of western Maine.

Tickets for the event are $52, and gates open at 4 p.m.

Texas-born Craig Wayne Boyd, who came to the public’s attention when he was a contestant, and the eventual winner, of “The Voice” in 2014, showed an affinity for music even as a child.

Growing up in the Dallas suburb of Mesquite, he was drawn to gospel and country, and was active in his church choir, eventually becoming its director. He moved to Nashville in 2004, pounding the pavement and playing bars before eventually signing a publishing deal with EMI and opening for Randy Houser and Jamey Johnson.

Boyd, who spent 10 years of songwriting, local gigs, national support touring and trying everything he could to further that dream in Nashville, was on the verge of quitting music because of financial and other pressures. All that changed when he auditioned for the “The Voice.”

It was this appearance, where Boyd showed off his range by singing everything from “The Old Rugged Cross” to Alabama’s “In Pictures,” that gained him national attention. His coronation song from the show, “My Baby’s Got a Smile on Her Face,” shot to No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. Ending up on Blake Shelton’s team, Boyd’s singing voice, playing and easy musical versatility made him a fan favorite, and eventually made him the overall winner.

Boyd has spent time touring since. He joins musicians such as Grammy winners Darius Rucker and Rascal Flatts, as well as Brett Eldredge. “It’s like nonstop,” said the 34-year-old Boyd.

The Mallett Brothers Band will perform as well, taking the stage before Boyd. Over the last six years, the Mallett Brothers Band has proven to be an underground powerhouse, constantly touring and building a fan base across the nation, while still calling Maine their home. With songs that can range from alt country, to Americana, honkytonk, jam or roots rock, theirs is a musical melting pot that’s influenced equally by folk and singer/songwriter influences as it is by harder rock, twang and psychedelic sounds.

The band consists of brothers Luke and Will Mallett, Brian Higgins on drums, Nick Leen on bass, Wally on dobro and electric guitar, and sometimes Matt Mills on lead guitar, pedal steel and banjo.

Since forming in 2009, the band has already released three full-length albums. They have provided support for acts ranging from the Josh Abbot Band, Blackberry Smoke, Charlie Robison and the Turnpike Troubadours, to legends like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels and 38 Special.

With the release of their fourth album, “Lights Along the River,” the Mallett Brothers Band has no intention of slowing down or being quiet. “Lights Along The River” was recorded in a remote, boat-access-only location in northern Maine. Many of the songs came out of the touring life, gifts of the road, while many also came from the remote and cold places the band calls home. The addition of Matt Mills and his instruments, along with a little of his songwriting, on this new record has taken the sound to a new level.

Kennebago Jam will begin the afternoon when the gates open with the sounds of progressive country and light rock. The guitar trio, comprised of Jamie Virgin, Gary Petrie and Steve Philbrick, came together for their love of music and have been playing together for five years in the western mountains of Maine.

Tickets for this all-weather outdoor event overlooking Rangeley Lake are available at rangeleyhealthandwellness.com, ticketweb.com, or by calling 207-864-4397.  The Mallett Brothers Band will take the stage at 4:45, Craig Wayne Boyd at 6 p.m. and Josh Turner at 7.
