The Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) is excited to announce the return of its highly anticipated Friday concert, sponsored by Bennett Family of Companies. The free live music event is set for 7 p.m. local time on Friday, March 27, in Freedom Hall at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville, Kentucky.
This year’s concert will feature performances by Frank Foster, Mark Ware and Long Haul Paul. Foster is known as a chart-topping country artist who delivers a gritty blend of Southern rock and honest country, Ware is known for his scorching blend of Southern soul and gritty storytelling, and Paul is known as a journeyman storyteller, delivering lyrics steeped in folk and americana.
“We’re thrilled to bring back the Friday concert as part of the MATS experience,” said Toby Young, President of MATS. “This event has become a signature celebration for the trucking community, an opportunity for attendees to relax, enjoy great music and connect with fellow professionals after a day at the show.”
The concert is free for all registered MATS attendees. Complimentary tickets will be available for pickup at Bennett booth #39201 at the show on Thursday and Friday, March 26-27. This year’s concert experience is made possible through the support of sponsors, enhancing the entertainment offerings that make MATS a must-attend event for trucking professionals, families, and music fans alike.
