This year’s Mallard Madness featured three country artists that rocked the Matthew Knight Arena on Friday, May 2, 2014. Singer-songwriter Sarah Davidson and American country singer Cole Swindell opened the show for Lee Brice. The spring country concert was put on by Oregon’s Student Activities and Resource Center for students, but admission was also available for Eugene-Springfield residents. Lee Brice is currently nominated for several American Country Music Awards and is best known for his singles “Hard 2 Love” and “A Woman Like You.”
