On March 19th, 2014 Frankie Ballard played the Rodeo Club in San Jose, CA joined by opening act Joel Crouse. Both of these up and coming country artists were fantastic at entertaining the crowd.
The opening act, Joel Crouse, has had a few singles to country radio. He played his first single "If You Want Some" along with his current single "Why God Made Love Songs". In his short five to six song set, he played most of his original songs along with a cover medley. I was pretty impressed by Joel and hope to see him again sometime soon!

We've seen the main act Frankie Ballard a few times within the last year and it was great to see him back in the San Jose area! He performed with a full band and it was interesting for me to see since I've only seen him acoustically before. Frankie just put a new album out so he played a lot of songs off the new album including the title track (which I LOVE) called "Sunshine and Whiskey".
In about the middle of the show, Frankie had a moment where he got distracted by a female fan in the front row that was exposing some cleavage....I would like to call these kind of moments "Frankie Moments" because it seems like at every show he says or does something totally random that is pretty hilarious. Of course he commented on how nice her cleavage was, then proceeded to try to throw a guitar pick and make it in. He unfortunately missed and it ended up in her purse on the stage. I just thought I would share that because I was doubled over in laughter at this point! Too funny Frankie!
Frankie just recently topped the country charts this week with his song "Helluva Life". This was the second time in KRTY history that they could personally give back the condiment bottle he signed about four years ago when he played the rodeo club for the first time. Congrats Frankie!
