This is the first concert to be announced as part of the DuPont/Pioneer Summer Concert Series at the Corn Crib.
"The sponsorship allows us to thank our customers - Illinois farmers - and celebrate the ag industry in a ballpark with a unique corn theme," said Justin Wilkins, DuPont Pioneer operational marketing manager. "We're proud to support an organization that helps bring family friendly entertainment to Bloomington-Normal and surrounding communities. The sponsorship also allows us to highlight the value that farming and the agricultural industry bring to McLean County."
The 2014 summer looks to be a big summer for McGraw. He is coming off of three consecutive number one hits and a sold out tour in 2013. He is entering this year with brand new music and his new single "Lookin' For That Girl" is available for purchase on iTunes.
"This last year was unbelievable, and I don't have any plans to let off the gas now. We didn't want to waste any time getting new music out," said McGraw, who can't wait to get started on the tour. "With every album, my approach is to push a few of my own boundaries and try things I've never done before. It was hard to choose a lead single off this project because I really felt like we had six or seven good options. I kept coming back to "ËThat Girl' because even though it may be a little different for me sonically, I couldn't get it out of my head!"
"We are thrilled to be hosting what will be one of the largest, if not the largest individual concert in the Central Illinois history," said CornBelters President Steve Malliet. "Our fifth anniversary season is going to be special and this will put a cap on it for us! We have many big announcements coming soon, so this is exciting to get the first one out."
Over the years, McGraw has sold over 40 million albums, won three Grammy's, 15 American Country Music Awards, 14 Country Music Awards, and 10 American Music Awards. He is coming off three back to back number one hits including the platinum selling hit "Highway Don't Care" with Taylor Swift, featuring Keith Urban on guitar.
