MIAMI LAKES, Fla. (www.orangebowl.org) – The Orange Bowl has announced that Platinum selling duo Love and Theft will headline the Bud Light Orange Bowl Game Day Fan Zone Featuring the Xbox One Tailgaming Experience on January 3, 2014.

Artists who have performed at previous Orange Bowl Game Day Fan Zones have included Florida Georgia Line, Jake Owen, Little Big Town, All American Rejects, Smash Mouth, Collective Soul and Kevin Rudolph.

Love and Theft’s self-titled sophomore album is a fluid mix of country melodies and sing-along choruses, all driven by Eric Granderson’s earthy voice and Stephen Baker Liles’s high-altitude tenor.

Their hit #1 single "Angel Eyes," off their self-titled RCA Nashville debut album, was recently certified platinum and their current single "" is currently climbing the country charts. Eric and Stephen recently wrapped their dates on Tim McGraw's headlining tour this summer, and are currently on tour across the country.

For the ninth consecutive year, Miami’s eminent production company, ACT Productions, will be producing the entertainment elements of Pre-Game and Halftime.
