Experiences like last night are the biggest reasons why I love living in Nashville! Of course, these two events were on the same night. (It seems like I always have multiple things I want to go to all on the same night). I went to a benefit concert (only $12) in downtown Nashville last night. This concert was for MS and performers were Lee Brice (he's new but he wrote Garth Brook's most recent single "Memory"), Chuck Wicks, SheDaisy, Chris Cagle and Clay Walker. The concert started at 7:30 and I had a party at 9:30. So I was able to hear the first 3 acts but missed Chris Cagle and Clay Walker. But I saw Clay Walker last year at the Houston rodeo so I was really only disappointed about missing Chris Cagle since I've never seen him live before. Below are some pictures from the event. I got there at 5:20 and the doors opened at 6:00 so I got front row center standing spots. It was AWESOME!!! I swear on my life Chuck Wicks and I had a moment. Our eyes locked for like 10 seconds but it seemed like an eternity. SheDaisy was awesome too!! I was most excited to see them. Kelsi (the red-head) goes to the Old Hickory Ward which meets right before my ward so I've bumped into her a few times. She kept looking down at us and smiling so I'm pretty sure she recognized us. Either that or Lori and I were the only ones singing along and so she smiled. :) I'm going to mention something to her though if I see her at church this Sunday.
The second event was amazing! There's a new up and coming group called The JaneDear Girls. One of the girls from the duo is in my ward. She invited me to come to this party at John Rich's mansion!! (He's from the country duo Big & Rich, if you've heard of them). This week in Nashville is CRS week - which I think stands for Country Radio Stations week. So they had over 200 radio people from around the country here listening to their song. If they like what they hear they will play their songs. She invited a bunch of friends so we could jump around and rock out with her band. It looks good to the radio people if they see normal people enjoying the music. It was so fun!! They didn't allow us to take any pictures so you'll just have to believe me but I ran into Jay from Rascal Flatts. He's the dark haired one. And John Rich was behind his bar the entire night getting drinks for everyone! It was so cool!! I love Nashville!!!!!
Anyway, here are some pictures from the benefit concert. I'm sorry I haven't updated in far too long. My only excuse is that my computer broke so I never download my pictures. I'm at the library now so I'll try to update more often. I love y'all!
SheDaisy - I love them!
Chuck Wicks - such a great performer
