NEW ULM, MN — Get ready for a night of foot-tapping, hand-clapping, get-out-of-your-seat entertainment as Grammy-winning songwriter and performer Aaron Raitiere joins returning crowd favorite Ciera MacKenzie on stage at the 2027 ATA Industry Celebration, Thursday, Jan. 7, from 6-9 p.m. during the ATA Trade Show in Indianapolis.
The industry’s biggest night brings ATA members together for an evening built around great music, great company and celebrating the people who make the archery and bowhunting industry what it is. Alongside live performances, attendees can enjoy complimentary food and drinks, reconnect with friends and colleagues, recognize industry leaders and get in on the excitement with a live auction and raffle drawings throughout the evening. The Industry Celebration is free to registered ATA Trade Show attendees.
After stealing the show at last year’s Industry Celebration, MacKenzie returns to the ATA stage in 2027. The Nashville-based singer, songwriter and dynamic guitarist is known for a high-energy blend of country, pop, rock, jazz and blues and a performance style built to get a crowd on its feet. MacKenzie began her musical journey at age 12 under the guidance of country music legend Toby Keith.
Her music has been featured on Showtime, Netflix and Hallmark, and she has opened for artists including Big & Rich, Joe Diffie, Tracy Lawrence, Mark Chesnutt and Trick Pony. A Gibson-sponsored artist and multi-instrumentalist, MacKenzie’s recent releases include “The Director,” “Half The Time” and “If It Ain’t Love.”
Joining MacKenzie is Raitiere, a Grammy-winning songwriter, performer and visual artist from Central Kentucky who brings his own fun, energetic style to the stage. He won a Grammy for writing “I’ll Never Love Again,” performed by Lady Gaga in “A Star Is Born,” and earned a 2023 Grammy nomination for his work on Ashley McBryde’s “Lindeville.”
His extensive songwriting credits include collaborations with Lainey Wilson, Ella Langley, Riley Green, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Ed Sheeran, Midland, Whiskey Myers, Travis Tritt, Ashley Monroe, The Oak Ridge Boys and many others.
