Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort just announced a new concert this week, American Country Star Chris Young will take the stage with Kane Brown on June 17.

In 2006, Young was declared the winner of "Nashville Star," a singing competition which aired on the USA Netwrk. After winning he signed with RCA Records Nashville and as they say, the rest was history. Since then he's released five albums and gained one of the crowning achievements in country music, becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry.

Kane Brown first came to the attention of the public through social media. He signed with RCA Nashville in 2016 and released his first full-length album later that year. Last October, Brown became the first artist to have simultaneous number ones on all five main country charts. Tickets for this concert go on sale on Saturday at etix.com.

Godsmack and Shinedown, with special guest Like A Storm, will be taking over the stage on July 25.

Shinedown is a multi-platinum rock band that has been rocking out since 2002. Their latest single, "Devil," has gotten over one million YouTube views, and si part of their newest and sixth album, "Attention Attention." With a symphony of though-provoking lyrics, explosive guitars, unpredictable rhythms and cinematic flourishes, this music is the band's biggest and boldest chapter yet.

Their debut album, "The End of the Beginning," introduced the world to their brilliant vocals, gritty guitars, and their infamous didgeridoo, setting the band apart from their peers and leading to their first U.S. tour.
