Easton Corbin comes to the Ak-Chin Indian Community for a free concert on Friday, December 9 as part of the Masik Tas Celebration. Country singer Corbin’s self-titled debut album released in 2010, launching two back-to-back No. 1 hits. This made him the first country artist in 17 years to have his first two singles reach No. 1, according to the profile on his website, www.eastoncorbin.com

In 2012, Corbin released another album, All Over the Road, which included two top-5 hits. His third album, About to Get Real, debuted at No. 1 and included a top-5 single, “Baby Be My Love Song.” His new single, “Are You With Me,” is also making an impact on the charts. This song first appeared on his All Over the Road album and was such a special song to Corbin that he carried it over to his next album, hoping it would become a radio single.
