(KAIR)--The lineup for the annual concert that serves to kickoff Atchison's annual Amelia Earhart Festival has been announced.

Named to headline the Friday Night Music on the Riverfront Concert of July 18 is Neal McCoy:

Festival Coordinator Jacque Pregont calls McCoy "a fantastic entertainer who will bring tremendous enthusiasm to our stage" at the Atchison Riverfront, adding that "he was great on the Lakefest stage (as the concert was previously called) and we are thrilled to have him back on Atchison's Riverfront."

The middle act for the concert will be Abby Anderson, who Pregont says will bring "her heartfelt storytelling, and undeniable energy to the stage."

Opening the Friday Night Music on the Riverfront concert will be Noah Anthony, who grew up in Atchison, has a strong regional following, and is an up and coming artist spending his time in both Nashville and Kansas City.

The concert will again require tickets for admission, with advance tickets now on sell for $25, with the price to increase to $30 at the gate on concert day.

Friday Night Music on the Riverfront will, as tradition holds, serve as an opener to the Amelia Earhart Festival weekend, held each year in July in honor of aviator Earhart, who spent her childhood in Atchison.
