Maddie & Tae added to Chevrolet Music Series at The Great New York State Fair

The Great New York State Fair is thrilled to announce the addition of Maddie & Tae to the Chevrolet Music Festival as the award-winning duo will perform their biggest hits at Chevy Court on Thursday, August 28 at 6:00 p.m.

Described by Rolling Stone as “having some of the tightest harmonies on Music Row,” Maddie & Tae first hit the airwaves in 2014 with their platinum-selling hit “Girl in a Country Song.” The single peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart and established them as only the third female duo in 70 years to top the Country Airplay chart.

Following a string of singles, including “Fly,” which was certified gold and cracked the top 10 on Billboard’s Country chart, Maddie & Tae released their second studio album, “The Way it Feels.” The 15-song album featured hit tracks “Friends Don’t” and “Die From a Broken Heart,” which was certified platinum three times and skyrocketed to the top of the Country Airplay chart, making Maddie & Tae the first and only female twosome with multiple No. 1 hits.

“Maddie & Tae have been a huge part of the country music scene for years and have worked with some of the biggest names in music along the way,” said Fair Director Julie LaFave. “With hits like “Girl in a Country Song” and “Die From a Broken Heart,” I have no doubt that fairgoers will be singing their hearts out at Chevy Court on August 28.”

Over the last decade, Maddie & Tae have excited audiences throughout the world and have been recognized by the Academy of Country Music, Billboard, Radio Disney Music Awards, and the Country Music Awards with some of the industry’s most prestigious honors. The duo recently toured with some of entertainments biggest stars, including Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, and Dierks Bentley.

The Fair starts Wednesday, August 20, and runs through Labor Day, Monday, September 1. All concerts are included in the price of admission, which will go on sale later this summer. The Great New York State Fair is the most affordable state fair in the country. Tickets are $8 for adults while admission is free for children under 12 and senior citizens aged 65 and older.
