The Pumper & Cleaner Expo is well known over the years for reeling in some of the top country music stars for a personal and intimate performance for attendees. This year is no exception. At 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 27, one of the hottest acts today – Rodney Atkins – will play a string of hits following the Industry Appreciation Party in the grand ballroom of the JW Marriott Hotel in Indianapolis.
Atkins has recorded many top 10 hits, starting in 2003 with “Honesty (Write Me a List)’’ from his first album entitled Honesty. A familiar voice on country radio for almost a decade, Atkins struck gold in 2006 and 2007, when his singles, “If You’re Going Through Hell (Before the Devil Even Knows)’’ and “Watching You,’’ hit No. 1 and were named the top country songs of the year by Billboard magazine.
In 2010, Atkins hit with “Farmer’s Daughter,’’ and he’s currently touring with his fourth album, with a title cut “Take a Back Road,’’ which hit No. 1 just a few months ago.
The Industry Appreciation Party – with its festive atmosphere and 25-cent tap beers –begins at 5 p.m. Both the Industry Appreciation Party and Atkins’ live performance are included with full Expo registration. Learn more at www.pumpershow.com.
