Emerald Coast PCA Rodeo

Northwest Florida State College has partnered with Emerald Coast PCA Rodeo, a championship-caliber rodeo, to bring wholesome, world-class, family-friendly rodeo entertainment to Niceville, Florida. The people of Okaloosa, Walton, and Escambia Counties – just for starters – will get a chance to support their neighbors and enjoy a time-tested, old-fashioned rodeo. The Emerald Coast PCA Rodeo is committed to a family-friendly atmosphere, honoring our nation’s history, and pointing toward the promise of a great American future. All proceeds from the event will support Raider Athletics. If you live in Niceville, Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Crestview, Freeport, or anywhere on the Emerald Coast, you'll want to see this rodeo!

About Jason Byrd

At 19, Jason Byrd became the third generation to serve as a firefighter in Tallahassee while simultaneously pursuing a passion for Country music. Raised on hymns and Country tunes, his talent for singing and songwriting led him to Nashville, where an encounter with George Jones changed his life. George and Nancy Jones managed Jason's career, leading to performances across the U.S. and Canada, opening for stars like Billy Dean and Joe Diffie, and appearing on the Grand Ole Opry. After George’s passing in 2013, Jason returned home to focus on family and firefighting, but in 2019, after 28 years of service, he left to fully commit to music. In 2021, he released a duet with George Jones, "Better Life," which was nominated for the Josie Music Awards' "Single of the Year." His latest single, "She’s Coming Back Saloon," will be released in March 2024, alongside recent nominations for "Song of the Year" at the 2023 Josie Music Awards.
