Jana Kramer signs an autograph for a young fan at the 2013 Country Thunder Festival in Florence.

Ex-β€œOne Tree Hill” star and rising country singer Jana Kramer is heading to Oro Valley this fall after snagging a spot on the third-annual Oro Valley Music Festival lineup.

Kramer, 33, is taking the place of Drake White, an indie country artist who had to beg off the Oro Valley gig to get over to Europe in time for a tour that starts Oct. 2, festival officials said.

Kramer (β€œI Got the Boy,” β€œWhy You Wanna”), who was on the lineup for the 2013 Country Thunder Festival in Florence, joins a country lineup on Day 1 of the two-day festival. Lee Brice (β€œParking Lot Party,” β€œLove Like Crazy”) headlines and the lineup features Brothers Osborne (β€œ21 Summer,” β€œStay A Little Longer”), Michael Ray (β€œThink A Little Less,” β€œReal Men Love Jesus”) and Brooke Eden (β€œDaddy’s Money,” β€œAct Like You Don’t”). Oro Valley’s own Kaylor Cox kicks things off.

On Oct. 1, the Oro Valley Music Festival turns to pop, with headliners Train supported by Gavin DeGraw, Michael Franti & Spearhead, LeAnn Rimes, Echosmith and Tucson’s own Rich Berra Band.
