FORT MYERS, Fla. (Feb. 21, 2013) \u2013\u00a0The Boston Red Sox<\/a> has added country concerts following each Friday night home game in March as an added feature to its 2013 Spring Training schedule.<\/p>\n

The American contemporary country band founded in Bradenton, Fla., One Night Rodeo, will perform on the stage on Fenway South Drive immediately following each Friday night spring training home game at JetBlue Park, the Red Sox\u2019s 106-acre Spring Training and Player Development Complex, located at 11500 Daniels Parkway.<\/p>\n

The concerts will be open and free to all ticket holders for each designated Friday night game. The Red Sox will host three Friday night spring training games this season. Friday, March 1 they play Pittsburgh, and the following two Friday evenings they welcome Mayor\u2019s Cup rival Minnesota on Friday, March 8 and 15.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very excited to add another element to this year\u2019s spring training home games,\u201d said Katie Haas, senior director of Florida business operations. \u201cOne Night Rodeo is a popular band with a lot of our local attendees, and we are looking forward to sharing this regional band\u2019s talents with our spring training guests. We encourage Friday-night ticket holders to stick around and enjoy these free concerts.\u201d<\/p>\n

One Night Rodeo is composed of Cory Hildreth (lead vocals, keys, guitar, and mandolin) and Duane Allison (bass guitar, vocals). Thirteen years and more than 2,000 performances in their career has prepared ONR for its own launch into country music stardom. Opening for superstars, such as Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban and Montgomery Gentry, is nothing new to this group of seasoned musicians. The band most recently won the Great American Country and Music Nation\u2019s Next GAC Star competition. ONR released its first single and video, \u2018Alive and Living,\u2019 which has maintained its spot in the Top 20 Country Countdown on GAC TV and currently remains on the Independent Music Network charts. As winners of The Next GAC Star, ONR has already reached more than 54 million viewers with the television exposure on GAC and more than 3.6 million hits to their MySpace profile. The band recently had its first Top 40 breakthrough with its single \u2018Real Good.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cPlaying at JetBlue Park during this year\u2019s spring training is so exciting for us because not only have I been a Red Sox fan since I was a kid, but One Night Rodeo\u2019s lead singer Cory is a diehard Red Sox fan,\u201d said Ed Ciofani, CEO of Fox Hill Records and manager of the band. \u201cI think the only thing that could top playing for Red Sox nation would be if they\u2019d let us suit up and play in a game.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Red Sox will host 20 games in its second year at JetBlue Park. The team began its 2013 spring game schedule on Thursday, Feb. 21, with the traditional, single-admission double-header against the Northeastern University Huskies and Boston College Eagles starting at 1:35 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
