The 2023 Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS) will feature a free concert for all attendees on Friday, March 31st, sponsored by DAT Freight & Analytics. The concert will be headlined by 2022 ACM New Male Artist of the Year Nominee Elvie Shane. 

The third of four children to his church-going gospel-singing mother and truck-driving, hell-raising father, Elvie Shane defines country with a new kind of twang. Shane’s hit single, “My Boy”, has earned him a RIAA certified Platinum and established him in the ranks of other Nashville country music stars.   

Tickets for the concert will be distributed free of charge by DAT Freight & Analytics during show hours on Thursday, March 30 and Friday, March 31 at Booth #65216.

The Friday night concert will also feature an opening act set to hit the stage before Elvie Shane, and will be announced shortly. 

The Freedom Hall Arena doors open at 6:30 PM Eastern, immediately following the Friday edition of MATS and the concert begins at 7:00 PM. For up to date information regarding the concert, visit www.truckingshow.com/mats-concert.
