Jerrod Niemann to Deliver His Country Hits at Kentucky Speedway July 11

Country music star Jerrod Niemann will entertain race fans with a special  performance on Kentucky Speedway’s infield Kroger Concert Stage prior to the July 11 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series (NSCS) Quaker State 400 presented by Advance Auto Parts.

 

The singer/songwriter’s fourth album, High Noon, made its debut last year and provides listeners with a blend of country, pop and rock mixed with a bit of electronic beats.

 

“My biggest obstacle was to make sure this sounded different from everything else out there right now,” Niemann said.

 

“So High Noon means go out there and go for it. Get your game face on, walk ten steps, and pull the trigger. It’s the next step into facing the future,” he said.

 

His smash single from his latest album, “Drink to That All Night,” earned Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) Gold-certified and rose to No. 6 on the Billboard Country Music Charts. It was followed-up by the second single “Donkey.”

 

Niemann who’s influenced by Lefty Frizzell, George Strait, Randy Travis, and Keith Whitley, will share his unique mix of music on the Kroger prerace stage at the NSCS Quaker State 400 presented by Advance Auto Parts race where tickets are as low as $59.

 

Fans can enjoy stage-side and trackside views of the show by adding a daily Kroger Fan Zone pass to ticket orders. Passes also provide pit road access at designated times, the opportunity to view NASCAR inspections from the Fan Zone along with enjoying activities and concessions in an area near pit road and surrounding Victory Lane.

 

Tickets, Kroger Fan Zone passes and campsites are on sale at https://www.kentuckyspeedway.com, by calling (859) 578-2300 or visiting our speedway ticket offices at 1 Speedway Dr., Sparta, KY., 41086, just off Interstate 71 Exit 57 and Ky. Hwy. 35 N.

 

The Kansas-born artist caught the attention of Nashville and country music in 2010 with his chart-topping album Judge Jerrod & The Hung Jury with Sea Gayle Records /Artista Nashville records. The album produced the Number One Smash RIAA-certified Platinum digital single “Lover, Lover,” followed it up with Top 5 and RIAA-certified Gold single “What Do You Want”.

 

His second album, Free the Music includes a multitude of style that ranges from the popular, funky up-beat Top 15 single “Shinin’ On Me” written with country star Lee Brice then to the slow ballad “Only God Could Love You More” that displays his talented voice.

 

“Some people sound the same on every song, but I like to be a chameleon, like an actor in a role. For ‘Only God Can Love You More,’ we didn’t put any harmonies on it and used my original tracking vocal. “Lover, Lover” had a bunch of harmony parts so I thought it’d be interesting to have zero here, especially with French horns and the other orchestral things we have going on, he says. “Some songs just work better with one vocal.”

 

Since then, Niemann has written with fellow country artists Garth Brooks, Blake Shelton, and Jamey Johnson along with touring alongside Brad Paisley and Dierks Bentley.
