2013 Black Tie & Boots Tickets Sold Out

If you have not secured your ticket for the most anticipated concert in West Georgia, you are out of luck. West Georgia Technical College announced that tickets to see Montgomery Gentry at the Aug. 10 Black Tie & Boots concert are sold out.

“We cannot thank our sponsors enough,” said West Georgia Technical College President Dr. Skip Sullivan. “Not only for supporting the College, but also supporting our community.”

The country duo Montgomery Gentry is headlining the 12th anniversary concert. Montgomery Gentry burst into the music scene in 1999 with their single “Hillbilly Shoes.” The Kentucky natives, Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry, went on to produce fourteen Top 10 singles, including five No. 1s, “Something To Be Proud Of,” “If You Ever Stop Loving Me,” Lucky Man,” “Back When I Knew It All” and “Roll With Me.” The group follows the footsteps of Blake Shelton, Josh Turner, Gary Allen, and last year’s performer Little Big Town who all have rocked the stage at the Murphy Campus.

Black Tie & Boots is the West Georgia Technical College Foundation’s biggest fundraiser of the year. The concert includes a seated meal at 7 p.m. with the concert beginning at 8 p.m. Attendees are treated to valet parking, a professional photographer, and a walk on the red carpet.

Despite the celebrity entertainment, Black Tie & Boots is not all about red carpets and country super stars. Proceeds from the event go toward student scholarships, program improvements, facility upgrades and faculty development.

“The community embraces this event like no other,” said Dr. Sullivan. “Black Tie & Boots is highly anticipated every year and we are proud to contribute to the fabric of our community.”

West Georgia Technical College, with campuses in Carroll, Coweta, Douglas, Haralson and Troup counties and additional class sites in Heard and Meriwether counties, offers over 115 associate degree, diploma and technical certificate programs of study. A unit of the Technical College System of Georgia, West Georgia Tech is the third largest of the state’s 25 technical colleges and one of the fastest-growing two-year colleges in the nation.
