The BB&T Atlanta Open is bringing some country to the courts this year.

To celebrate the kickoff of the annual tennis tournament, country vocal band Home Free will perform from 8:30-10 p.m. Saturday at the BB&T Atlanta Open Stadium Court at Atlantic Station.

The Minnesota quintet, which won NBC’s “The Sing-Off” in 2013, released their most recent album, “Timeless” last fall.

The group has sold more than 350,000 copies of their albums since their 2007 debut, “From the Top.”

Tickets to the concert are $29 for reserved seating and $99 for a VIP meet and greet package; they can be purchased at www.bbtatlantaopen.com.

The ATP World Tour 250 professional men’s tennis tournament opens Saturday and will run through July 29.
