Koe Wetzel and Boyz II Men will perform at this year’s Canfield Fair.

This is the sixth year JAC Live has booked the grandstand entertainers at the fair, and JAC Vice President Ken Bigley said both shows reflect a shift from traditional fair offerings.

“The fair has always been traditional country and classic rock,” Bigley said. “Those are still staples, but we want to get the best bang-for-your-buck act available, and that’s why we’ve branched out into different genres.”

Wetzel, who headlines the grandstand Sept. 3, definitely is country, but he is more in the outlaw country vein and draws on rock and grunge influences.

He has had three gold-certified singles — “February 28, 2016,” “Something to Talk About” and “Drunk Driving” — and tallied more than 1.3 billion streams so far in his career.

“What we’ve historically looked at for fair-type events are people who are already on top or very well-known for a very long time,” Bigley said. “He’s actively on the rise. When we were going through some of the options with the agent and his name came up, the question became, ‘Do you want to be on the front end of a mainstream, current act on his way to mega stardom?'”

As an R&B act, Boyz II Men is a different genre entirely, but the vocal group closing the fair Sept. 4 is one of the top-selling R&B acts of all time with hits that include “End of the Road,” “I’ll Make Love to You,” “On Bended Knee,” “Water Runs Dry,” “One Sweet Day” and “Motownphilly.”

Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris and Shawn Stockman have won four Grammy Awards, nine American Music Awards, nine Soul Train Awards, three Billboard Awards and have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Those songs also were hits on the pop charts, and those hits now are about 30 years old. Acts that gained fame in the ’90s are drawing well nationally, Bigley said, and R&B and hip-hop acts like Nelly have been popular attractions on the fair circuit.

“They seemed like a perfect fit,” Bigley said.

Tickets for Wetzel range from $26.50 to $92, while Boyz II Men tickets are priced between $32 and $96.50. Opening acts for both concerts will be announced soon, Bigley said.

Tickets for both shows go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday online through Ticketmaster. Tickets also will be available at the fairgrounds at a later date to be announced.

An online-only presale runs from 10 a.m. Wednesday to 10 p.m. Thursday with the password: JACLIVE.

Canfield Fair Board President George Roman also announced Monday that the demolition derby will return to the fair Sept. 1, and the truck and tractor pulls will be the grandstand entertainment Sept. 2.
