MENTOR ROCKS WITH ELI YOUNG BAND
The Eli Young Band’s never-changing lineup of Mike Eli, James Young, Jon Jones, and Chris Thompson have spent decades on the run, growing from hometown heroes into globe-trotting, chart-topping pioneers. Driven by experience and a million miles of wisdom, you can expect an amazing show from a band of brothers still very much in their prime. Opening: Breakout country artist Sophia Scott may originally hail from Boulder, CO, but the singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist found a home in Nashville, TX, by continuing a time honored tradition of storytelling with no shortage of gusto or grit. Sophia released her debut album and made her Opry debut in 2023. Sophia Scott will perform from 6:00 to 7:00 PM. Eli Young Band will perform at 7:30 PM. Learn more at www.mentorrocks.info.
