Truck Drivers U.S.A — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 15:00:57 +0000

Mark your calendars for an electrifying night of music at the Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS)! Country rapper and former professional golfer Colt Ford will take center stage as the headliner for the free concert on March 28 at Freedom Hall, located in the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville.

Opening for Ford is none other than trucker and singer-songwriter Tony Justice, who’s known for captivating audiences at MATS and other trucking events across the nation.

How to Get Tickets

The concert is free for MATS attendees, with tickets available for pickup on Thursday and Friday during the show’s run from March 27–29.

About Colt Ford

Colt Ford first burst onto the music scene with his debut album, Ride Through the Country, in 2008. Since then, he’s made a significant impact in the industry, releasing a total of eight albums, with his latest, Must Be The Country, coming out in 2023. His breakthrough fourth album, Declaration of Independence, reached the number one spot on the Top Country Albums charts.

While Ford has carved out a successful career in music, it hasn’t been without challenges. After suffering a heart attack following a concert in Arizona in April 2024, Ford is now back on the road doing what he loves most. This follows another health scare in 2021 when he underwent surgery for eye cancer.

Before becoming a celebrated musician, Ford excelled in the world of golf. He played for the University of Georgia during college and later competed professionally on the Nationwide Tour.

About Tony Justice

A fan-favorite at MATS, Tony Justice brings his authentic, trucker-inspired music to the stage once again. Justice’s latest album, Greatest Shifts, features an impressive collection of 21 tracks, including six brand-new songs.

Don’t miss this iconic night of country and trucking culture. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of Colt Ford and Tony Justice or discovering their music for the first time, this concert promises to deliver unforgettable memories.
