Local, statewide, and national bands and musicians featured at 2007 State Fair of Texas

by Erin Rice

So maybe you missed Boyz II Men last Saturday (they still tour?) or Bowling For Soup on Sunday (relax, they're local, they'll be back... a lot), but there is no excuse for missing the remaining bands and artists featured on the main stage at this year's State Fair. To make planning a little bit easier for the musically inclined, the following will guide you along your song-led journey through eating various fried foods and puking them up on archaic, spinning rides.
