Mighty Mussels bringing Joe Nichols, Parmalee to Party at the Park on May 14

The Fort Myers Mighty Mussels are bringing back Party at the Park, a family-friendly postgame concert on May 14 that will feature country music artists Joe Nichols and Parmalee.

Party at the Park highlights a six-game homestand against the Palm Beach Cardinals that runs May 10-15 at Hammond Stadium.
hols and Parmalee have brought country music to a new generation of music lovers, so bringing them both to Hammond Stadium on the same night is a score for music lovers in Southwest Florida,” said Team President Chris Peters. “The concert will start right around sunset, so the ambiance and overall atmosphere will be electric.”

Joe Nichols, whose professional career spans nearly three decades, describes his style as “bridging the gap between the genre’s old-school roots and contemporary era.” He has amassed a half-dozen No. 1 singles and ten Top 10 hits with sounds honoring his heroes.

Parmalee defines its music as “contemporary sound with classic ingredients.” The band has released seven albums over a 20-year period, with two singles – Carolina and Just the Way – peaking at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay rating and both earning platinum status through the Recording Industry Association of America.

Advance tickets for Party at the Park start at $30 and include admission to the Mighty Mussels game and postgame concert. The game also is a Guaranteed Win Night, so if the Mussels lose, all fans will receive a ticket to return for the next day’s game.
