Summer 2019: Brad Paisley Concert

The continuing saga of Erin's free concert tickets.  Y'all my secret talent might be winning concert tickets...

I ended up randomly winning Brad Paisley tickets a few weeks ago and my husband and I had a little Friday night concert date.

It rained earlier but we managed to have a rain free night, it was also not crazy hot since the rain cooled things off earlier.  

Riley Green is a really new so he only played three songs, Chris Lane played next and he was great.  I have been following him for a while since he is a local boy from near where I grew up.  It's neat to see him actually preforming for real.

He just recently got engaged to Lauren Bushnell from the Bachelor franchise, he told a few stories about her and it was really cute.

My favorite part of the whole night just might have been when Chris Lane did a whole old 90's country set and I was living for it!

Brad Paisley was up next and he didn't disappoint.  He is crazy talented and it shows.  My husband knows way more about guitar and playing music so he was really impressed with all his maneuvers and solos.

It was a really funny concert, they all just seemed to be having a good time together.  One girl gave them her phone to take a picture and they all took a selfie.

They didn't let her off easy, they then proceeded to go through her photos and showed everyone that she took a picture of her boots and led to the fact that she had a dirty picture (we will never know).  

They had a military salute which hits a little closer to home now with my brother coming near his deployment date.  I appreciate the support for military personnel and remembering their service. 

We really enjoyed spending our Friday night with Brad, great music and funny commentary.

Front row for the Eli Young Band

My husband's birthday is this month and I surprised him with tickets to see Eli Young!  Before we were married I surprised him with an Eli Young band concert so when I heard they were coming to town I knew we HAD to go!

I have been an Eli Young Band fan since high school and when Kyle and I were dating in college we would listen to Eli Young in the car.  I have really great memories of their songs and it is just good music.

 This venue is standing room so we got there pretty early and y'all we were pretty much front row!  When Mike Eli was reaching out I touched his hand (no big deal..)

They were great, played all the hits and more.  Such a great time seeing a band that Kyle and I both love and share together.

Jesse McCartney Resolution Tour 2019

If you follow me on instagram you already got a peak at my concert experience.  Even though I couldn't tell you three Jesse McCartney songs (I know, I know), I somehow got talked into going to his concert last week.  It was only an hour away, small venue and good ticket price so I said why not.

He definitely put on a good show.  He has a good personality and I enjoyed the music.  It was a concert that was a little different than ones I had been to before, most definitely a "teenage heartthrob" concert.  I had never been around so many screaming girls before, at one point I thought they busted my ears it was so shrill.  Through all the screaming the music was good, he was great and it was a good time.

 Also look how close we were!  Jesse McCartney has a new fan, I just may have added a few songs to my daily playlist.  (Better with you is a new favorite)

Free Country Concert: Lauren Alaina, Dustin Lynch and Cole Swindell

If you have been following for a while you know that I am pretty lucky in the radio ticket winning department.  Last month I happened to be in the car waiting for Kyle when I heard it was time to call and I ended up winning tickets to the Reason to Drink (Another) Tour featuring: Lauren Alaina, Dustin Lynch and Cole Swindell.  

It was still pretty hot and muggy even after dark, as you can probably tell by my hair...this was the only picture we got.

Lauren Alaina was really cute and she is crazy talented!

I was probably most excited for Dustin Lynch and he did not disappoint.  He just seemed like a genuine good guy.  His mom was in the audience and it was really cute.  He even busted out some Drake at one point.

Cole Swindell was really great, he definitely pulled on the heartstrings and sang a song about his dad who passed away.  He connects with his audience and pours his heart out.

Towards the end all three of them came out and sang 90's country and "Meet Me in the Middle".  That section was probably my favorite part.  You can't go wrong with some Garth Brooks and Shania Twain.

Lauren came out in a Roll Tide shirt for her second outfit, I told you she was cute!

Low quality picture but they really seemed like they were so happy to be performing together, they were so cute.  All three seemed so genuine, humble and grateful for where they are and the opportunity they have.  It was a really good concert, they were really talented and we had fun spending our Thursday night with them.

My FREE Taylor Swift Concert!!

So ya'll I love Taylor Swift...I have been a fan of hers since the beginning.  I know all her songs and I have every single one of her CDs.

So I was absolutely floored when I got to go to her Red Tour concert FREE!!

How did this happen you ask, well I won them on the radio.

I have never won anything on the radio before but that morning on the way to work 104.1 WTQR just happened to be giving away Taylor tickets to the 10th caller....which just ended up to me ME!!!

Guys these were pit tickets I was so close to her I could have touched her!!!  These were the best seats I had ever had at a concert!!

This was such an amazing experience and I just wanted to share my super luckiness with you all!
