On Friday, the weekend will be in full swing with the first ticketed music concert featuring Avery Anna and Parmalee. Parmalee is one of Country music鈥檚 most successful acts: the Platinum-selling band of brothers is one of only four groups since 2001 to earn three consecutive Top 10 singles from a debut Country album. Comprised of brothers Matt and Scott Thomas (lead vocals/guitar and drums, respectively), cousin Barry Knox (bass), and life-long friend Josh McSwain, the North Carolina natives recently returned to the top of the charts with their PLATINUM-certified international No. 1 single with Blanco Brown, 鈥淛ust the Way鈥� and are also known for their hit 鈥淐arolina.鈥� On-the-rise country star Avery Anna launched to national stardom by sharing her song performances on her TikTok account and is known for her hits 鈥淚 Love You More鈥� and 鈥淣arcissist.鈥� The gates will open at 6:30 p.m. and the concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. The College plans to have a fireworks display during the intermission at approximately 8:30 p.m. Tickets for the Parmalee/Avery Anna concert are $30 each for general admission and $125 for VIP tickets.

On Saturday night, Randy Houser and Shy Carter will take the stage with the gates opening at 6:30 p.m. and the concert beginning at 7:30 p.m. Houser had three consecutive No. 1 hits with his album, How Country Feels, plus earned critical acclaim for his Top 5 smash and CMA Song of the Year-nominated “Like A Cowboy.” Houser added a fourth No. 1 to his catalogue with 鈥淲e Went鈥� from his 2016 album, Fired Up. Houser鈥檚 fourth studio album, Magnolia, included the Top 30 hit 鈥淲hat Whiskey Does,鈥� which debuted on Country radio as #1 Most Added. The album also includes his single, 鈥淣o Stone Unturned.鈥�

Artist, songwriter and producer Shy Carter has reached all corners of the industry with his early success. With credits that span Kane Brown鈥檚 鈥淗eaven鈥� to Charlie Puth鈥檚 鈥淥ne Call Away,鈥� Carter is one of the most formidable up-and-coming talents in Nashville and beyond. He is among the writers behind Billy Currington’s 鈥淚t Don’t Hurt Like it Used To,鈥� Sugarland鈥檚 smash hit 鈥淪tuck Like Glue鈥� and Rob Thomas鈥� single 鈥淪omeday.鈥� In addition to his feature on Tim McGraw鈥檚 鈥淲ay Down,鈥� Carter has collaborated with Keith Urban on both 鈥淣ever Comin鈥� Down鈥� and 鈥淢y Wave.鈥� Carter has also worked with Jason Derulo, Meghan Trainor, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Lopez, Nelly and more.
