The Midnight Trucking Radio Network’s lobby booth will be a premier “personality sighting” location during the Mid-America Trucking Show, March 27-29 in Louisville, Ky.

 Eric Harley, host of The Midnight Trucking Radio Network, will be on hand to introduce visitors to the “Queen of Bluegrass,” Rhonda Vincent, from 1 to 4 p.m. Thursday and Grammy winner Suzy Bogguss from 1 to 4 p.m. Friday in the MTRN booth signing autographs and talking with drivers as they enter the show.  Also, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. “The Chrome Shop Mafia,” original cast members from TV’s “Trick My Truck” will be on hand to greet show-goers.

Vincent’s recent album “Good Thing Going” just debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Blue Grass charts. Vincent has received many awards from SPBGMA including Best Single Recording, Entertainer of the Year in 2001, Female Vocalist of the Year for four years, 2004 Grammy winner, and many honors from bluegrass societies nationwide. The Wall Street Journal called her the 'Queen of Bluegrass.'

Singer/songwriter Suzy Bogguss is a multi-award-winning artist in her own right and has won many platinum albums. And as her new CD “Sweet Danger” proves, she’s multi-faceted.  Bogguss has won CMA’s Horizon Award, Female Artist and Album of the Year.

 Drivers visiting the booth may register to win $1,000 cash and other great prizes to be given away at the close of the show.
