Baseball, fireworks and the BMets maybe some of the highlights at the NYSEG Stadium, but the Hawk is about to change that with the biggest country concert Binghamton has ever seen!

The Hawk is hosting the first ever Country Lights Festival and the price of tickets start at just $15! A concert right out your backdoor, how can you beat that?

Friday, July 10th can’t come soon enough for the Southern Tier, but in the meantime, thanks to The Boot, here are a list of random facts about our headliner, Frankie Ballard.

Did you know...

  1. He won The Next Big Star competition for Michigan in 2008 (his home state).
  2. Has opened for Kenny Chesney.
  3. His father is also named Frankie Ballard.
  4. His birthday is December 16, 1982 (he’s a Sagittarius).
  5. Made his Grand Ole Opry debut on January 7th, 2011.
  6. He collects hotel keys.
  7. If he wasn’t singing, he would be a fighter pilot.
  8. He’d love to tour with Keith Urban (too bad Keith will be in the area the month before).

Do something young and crazy! Buy your tickets today at 10am!
