Macon, Ga. – In this week's most recent American Football Coaches Association FCS Top 25, the Mercer football team is ranked No. 23. That's good new for more than one reason for Mercer football fans. With an open week this Saturday, the Bears next return to action on Saturday, Sept. 17, in their first Southern Conference action hosting The Citadel.
For fans who have not yet purchased tickets, here is the deal they have been waiting on. From 8 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 8, until 1 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 9, the flash sale will feature an opportunity to purchase two tickets for $23 for the game. To take advantage of this special, click here.
In addition to the Bears being ranked nationally and beginning SoCon play on that day, there is also the Mercer Gameday Experience which features the Ford Concert Series in Toby Town on Black Field, next to Five Star Stadium.
Featured artists will include:
Mitchell Tenpenny
The grandson of famed country music publishing executive Donna Hilley, songwriting is in Mitchell Tenpenny's blood. He has the inborn understanding of how details bring lyrics alive and the contemporary sensibilities to craft songs that country music fans crave. His new eight-song EP Midtown Diaries distills his gift into infectious jams about girls and small towns, anthemic odes to love and raw, rapid-fire heartbreak. Ignited by the juxtaposition of Tenpenny and Jordan Schmidt's progressive co-production and Tenpenny's distinct, textured vocals, Midtown Diaries is the coming-of-age soundtrack for country fans of every vintage. He co-wrote every song. "I want people to find their song on the EP," Tenpenny said. "That's why I gave it so much variety – love songs, break-up songs, weird songs that just feel groovy. I want them to fall in love with this, but in a way that they're like, 'Yes, I need more.'" Midtown Diaries is the follow-up to Tenpenny's debut album Telling All My Secrets, home to his double-platinum 2018 No. 1 smash "Drunk Me." The song led the Nashville native to personal and professional opportunities that range from meeting the love of his life to his co-write and duet on Chris Young's current single "At the End of a Bar." "You don't get chances in this town. You have to earn them," he said. "'Drunk Me' was the only reason people started listening to me. It set rocket fuel to my career."
Mackenzie Carpenter
Hailing from Athens, Georga, Mackenzie Carpenter is a singer/songwriter whose soulful country tone was honed by singing in her local church as a kid. She was inspired by her dad to begin writing songs while her two older brothers taught her how to play guitar.
Â
Her musical upbringing led her to attend Belmont University in Nashville where she immediately immersed herself into the local songwriting community. Her first cut as a songwriter, "Villain," landed at No. 1 on the iTunes Country chart. Carpenter is building a fanbase online and on the road having already opened for Parker McCollum, Craig Campbell, Ryan Hurd and Conner Smith. She is currently in the studio recording her debut project.
