Country artists are known for being hard workers, so it isn’t often they get to be home for holidays like Father’s Day, but there is no doubt that country music daddies love their babies (and country music kids love their daddies!) We’ve found a few of our favorite on-stage moments between country dads and their littles…and for a bonus, we have one country music superstar bringing her dad on stage for a magical moment.

Happy Father’s Day y’all!

LUKE BRYAN & BO
There is no question that Luke Bryan is an amazing father…and a great dancer. In this video, there’s also no doubt whose footsteps his oldest son, Bo, is following.

DIERKS BENTLEY & EVIE
In the crack heard round the world, Dierks Bentley opened thousands of hearts and tear ducts when he invited his oldest daughter, Evie, to help him sing “Thinking of You.”

CRAIG CAMPBELL & PRESLEE
Craig Campbell has been a longtime favorite guest of the Bobby Bones Show, but he could get booted from his spot by what might be Bobby’s youngest performing guest and Craig’s daughter, Preslee.

GEORGE STRAIT & BUBBA
Watching George Strait from the wings of arenas and stadiums served son Bubba well when his dad pulled him on stage at Cowboys Stadium to perform “Arkansas Dave,” written by Bubba.

VINCE GILL & CORRINA
Nothing chokes us up as much as when Vince Gill gets choked up. His youngest daughter, Corrina, got the best of him while performing the national anthem at an NHL All-Star game.

ERIC CHURCH & BOONE
He may be too bashful to sing, but Eric Church’s oldest boy, Boone, was quick to give Pops a fist bump after a performance of the tyke’s favorite tune, “Shotgun Willie.”

WADE BOWEN with BRUCE & BROCK
Wade Bowen tugged on as many heartstrings as guitar strings when songs Bruce and Brock joined him on stage for the fan favorite, “If We Ever Make It Home.” Now we know why he makes it home.

TIM McGRAW & GRACIE
You almost have to do a double-take to realize that isn’t Faith Hill joining Tim McGraw on stage. That’s the couple’s beautiful and talented daughter, Gracie. Ah, genetics.

JUSTIN MOORE & ELLA
If there’s any credence to starting them young, Justin Moore may have a superstar on his hands with his oldest daughter, Ella. He brought her on stage when she was still in footie jammies.

THOMAS RHETT & RHETT AKINS
It’s hard to tell who is the bigger fan of the other when it comes to Thomas Rhett and his equally famous father, mega hit songwriter Rhett Akins. We’re fans of both!

MIRANDA LAMBERT & DAD RICK
Strong, independent and a touch rebellious, Miranda Lambert may be the epitome of the empowered and successful country star, but in this clip from a past fan club party, she shows she’s still Daddy’s girl.
