EDGEFIELD, S.C. — Country music superstar Tyler Hubbard is set to transform the NWTF’s Convention and Sport Show into a barn-raising get-together with good times and, of course, good music, all in the name of the NWTF’s mission to conserve the wild turkey and preserve North America’s hunting heritage. Hubbard will perform Saturday night – Feb. 17, 2024 – in the Delta Ballroom at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel and Resort in Nashville, Tenn.
“Country music and our national convention and sport show go hand-in-hand,” said NWTF co-CEO Jason Burckhalter. “We are beyond excited to have Tyler Hubbard as our Grand National Auction entertainment; the event is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year, and to have a performer as big as Tyler is an honor.”
The NWTF’s Grand National Auction, officially sponsored by Silencer Central for 2024, features some of the most sought-after auctioned goods and experiences in the entire hunting industry. Attendance, including access to Hubbard’s performance, will be limited to those who signed up for the Grand National Auction.
With 21 No.1 singles on country radio, countless awards, and sold-out tours, Hubbard has already had a remarkable career as a songwriter and as one half of multi-platinum duo Florida Georgia Line.
Hubbard has now stepped out on his own and Billboard claims “Hubbard’s solo career keeps building,” with the release of his debut solo album, Tyler Hubbard. The album, released earlier this year, features Hubbard’s hit debut solo single “5 Foot 9,” which hit No. 1 at radio, was certified Platinum by the RIAA, and has 550M global streams. It also features Hubbard’s second No. 1 single, “Dancin’ In The Country,” which already has more than 300M global streams, has been certified Platinum by the RIAA and marks his second No. 1 as a solo artist. The song also spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Canadian Country Radio Chart and reached the top spot on SXM’s The Highway.
Hubbard has made several television appearances as a solo artist, most recently at the CMT Summer Camp, and also on Good Morning America, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Today. Hubbard’s new radio single “Back Then Right Now” is out now, and it is the first of more new music to come from Hubbard, who is wrapping 2023 with a run of sold out shows in Canada. He is slated to open for Kane Brown across the US and Canada in 2024. Listen to “Back Then Right Now,” HERE.
