Adam Yarger in Concert
Up and coming Country singer Adam Yarger plays the Main Arena. A native of central Pennsylvania, he relocated to Nashville at age 19 to chase his dream of being a country music icon. In 2015, Adam released his first EP containing 4 songs, then shot and directed the video for his most popular single ‘Backroad’. A year later he released a brand new single titled ‘Find Me Fishing’ and another single, ‘Burn’. His energy and down-to-earth personality leave crowds chanting for more!
