Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Elko present the 10th Annual Country Under the Stars Concert on Thursday, June 5, 2025, at the Elko County Fairgrounds, featuring Nate Smith!Since bursting onto the scene a few short years ago, Nate Smith has accumulated over 1.6 billion career streams, scored two No. 1 records (“Whiskey on You” and “World on Fire”), three Top 5,
garnered multiple gold and platinum records, sold-out shows across the US and received numerous nominations for best new artist from the ACM Awards, CMT Awards, iHeart Radio Awards and so many more. Most recently, Smith received the award for ACM New Male Artist of the Year, Billboard’s Rookie of the Year and Amazon’s Breakthrough Artist for 2024.
Since making it to Nashville, the singer’s “powerhouse tenor” has become “perhaps country music’s fastest-rising beloved voice” (The Tennessean). He’s made a huge splash with songs such as his
platinum-certified multi-week No. 1 hit “Whiskey On You,” has over 450 million streams globally and was lauded as “an enormously satisfying country kiss-off anthem” by Stereogum. Smith’s second single, “World On Fire” reached No. 1 on the country radio charts in December and remained at the top of the charts for a record breaking ten consecutive weeks. This feat marks Smith as the first artist to achieve this run with a second single at country radio and consecutive week run. The song also
hit No. 1 on the Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart for three weeks. Only 19 songs went No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart in 2023, two of which belong to Smith. Both singles are featured on Smith’s self-titled debut album which debuted Top 10 on Billboard’s Country Album Chart.
The ACM Award winner spent last summer touring alongside Thomas Rhett and Cole Swindell and was on the road with Morgan Wallen on his One Night At A Time 2024 Tour.
Opening the concert is Drake Milligan who burst onto the national music stage entering the Billboard Emerging Artists Chart at #5 after dominating iTunes with his debut album, Dallas/Fort Worth, charting back-to-back #1 hits on the iTunes Country Songs Chart, #1 on iTunes All-Genre Chart and reclaimed the #1 spot on iTunes Country Albums Chart, all while simultaneously holding positions #1, #2, #3 and #5 on iTunes Country Video Chart. In the UK, Milligan’s debut album spent 11 consecutive weeks in the Top 20 of the Official Country Artists Albums Chart. A student of classic Country music with the swagger of early Rock ‘n’ Roll, the Fort Worth, Texas native is an electrifying entertainer who cites George Strait and Elvis Presley – the King of Country and the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll – as musical heroes, and his unique twist of traditional Country has been embraced by fans, peers and the media alike. Milligan has performed on The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Grand Ole Opry, Stagecoach and CMA Music Festival, and earned high praise from People, BBC, USA Today, Parade, American Songwriter, CMT.com, Billboard, ET, Access Hollywood, Cosmopolitan, Cowgirl Magazine and Taste of Country. Following his Dallas/Fort Worth debut – named “One of the Best Country Albums of 2022” by Billboard and others – Milligan uncorked a Canadian Country Radio #1 in 2023 (“Honky Tonkin’ About” with The Reklaws), garnered 5 million views in just a few months with “Cowgirl For Christmas,” and headlined the massive New Year’s Eve celebration at the famed “World’s Largest Honky Tonk,” Billy Bob’s Texas, where he had also delivered two sold-out homecoming shows in the previous year. Looking ahead, the Stoney Creek Records phenom has dropped “Don’t Leave Me Loving You” – a timeless heartbreak ballad with a modern edge. His latest EP release titled, Jukebox Songs, features four all new tracks and was released on Friday, February 16. The acclaimed “Artist to Watch” (CMT, Pandora, etc.) also returned to his primetime TV roots for the America’s Got Talent spin-off show, America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League and hits the road alongside Cody Johnson on his 2024 U.S. arena tour.
The concert starts at 6:30 p.m. and the gates open at 5:00 p.m. The after party with live music from Reckless Envy, Northern Nevada’s premier band for rock, country, & today’s hits, starts immediately after the concert.
