Mid-America Trucking Show Concert

Mobil Delvac Presents James Otto, Blackberry Smoke, and El Camino in concert at MATS 2012




For the 4th consecutive year, MATS is proud to announce that Mobil Delvac will once again host a free concert for the attendees of the 2012 Mid-America Trucking Show. MATS attendees will be electrified as Mobil Delvac has assembled a trio of musical acts sure to satisfy a wide variety of musical tastes.

First, El Camino kicks off the evening's events and warms up the crowd for a tandem of entertainers destined for greatness in the music industry. Next, Blackberry Smoke is on stage with their guitar driven combination of hard hitting Southern Rock and Country, drawing comparisons to some of the genre's biggest names such as The Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker Band and the legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd. Finishing off the evening, Nashville's breakout star James Otto brings his soulful country voice to the stage. Described as having a sound "somewhere between Nashville and Memphis", this co-writer of "Just Got Started Loving You" (Billboard's No. 1 country single of 2008) is sure to be a huge hit with the crowd

Come see these great acts perform for our honored guests, the drivers and their families, as Mobil Delvac gives thanks for the hard work and dedication that play such an important role in so many industries throughout the country.

The concert will be held on-site in Freedom Hall of the Kentucky Exposition Center, immediately following the Friday edition of the Mid-America Trucking Show (March 23, 2012). Complimentary tickets will be distributed, while supplies last, from Mobil Delvac's Booth #18160 in the North Wing during the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, KY.

I have been going there many years and watched this show grow to its size and it will continue to grow as its the best show going. Even some of my business associates agree that if you don't make it at Louisville MATS your are wasting time and money going to other shows. I am a 55 year veteran owner operator and at my age still driving part time. Keep up the good work with the show an I will see you march 2011.
