When Jenn, The Rebel Chick, invited me to do a press event for her blog to see Lady Antebellum, I was over the moon excited; only to later find out that Sam Hunt and Hunter Hayes were the opening act! WOW! Could it get any better?! For me, country music is in my bones! It was one of the first types of music I was exposed to as a child. I remember riding around town with my dad and my brother signing Alan Jackson and Garth Brooks songs at that top of our lungs. Long story, short…me and country music, WE GO TOGETHER!
As for the concert, it was the first time I’d seen any of these artists live; and let me start by saying, that none of them let me down! They were all amazing! I dragged the hubby along and even though he’s not into country music in the slightest, when we were leaving, he asked what concert are we were going to next? I smiled and said, “You don’t mean which country concert, do you?” He smiled and said, “yeah, is there anyone coming to town you want to see?” My jaw about dropped to the ground. I just converted my Cuban husband into a country music lover! And, the answer was “HELL YEAH!” There are about five different country artists from here until December I would love to go see. Brad Paisley, Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan are all coming to the Perfect Vodka Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, which is where we saw Lady Antebellum.
I think the main reason why the hubby enjoyed it so much was because the artists included a few familiar cover songs from other bands/artists. Occasionally you see artists do this, but I don’t think he was expecting it from a country band. Lady Antebellum sang, Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeren, Any Man of Mine by Shania Twain and Walk This Way by Aerosmith. And how can you not get excited when you hear those guitar chords in Walk This Way? Hubs was on his feet immediately, singing and dancing.
It was the perfect date night and now that the weather will be cooling off, I think we’ll be getting tickets to a few more shows over the next few months!
