The Friday night concert is always one of the most anticipated events at MATS, and this year’s performers are sure to create lasting memories for all in attendance once again. With an ACM New Male Artist of the Year Nominee and a recipient of a RIAA Platinum single for his smash hit, “My Boy,” Elvie is sure to be a crowd pleaser as MATS hosts the country music star on stage for attendees and fans to enjoy.
