"Country As I Wanna Be"

On July 12th, 2014 Jerrod Niemman was set to play the Stephenson county fair in Freeport, IL. Unfortunately a heavy line of thunderstorms moved into the area preventing him from playing his set that night. However, we did see the opener Chris Cavanaugh and he put on a fantastic show for an opening act! We've seen him quite a few times at the Rodeo Club in San Jose, CA and it was great to see him in another part of the country!

We've always seen Chris acoustically so it was nice to finally see him backed up with drums and a bass player. It added more sound to his show and amped up the audience even more! He played a good mix of his own songs mixed with some covers. I really enjoyed seeing him again and really hope to see more of him in the future! 

And It Goes Like This....

On April 23rd, 2014, Thomas Rhett played to a sold out crowd at the Rodeo Club in San Jose, CA. Tickets sold out for this show in 3 hours the day they went on sale so I knew that Thomas was in for a fantastic show. I went to see him last year at the Rodeo Club before he had his hits to radio like "It Goes Like This" and "Get Me Some Of That". It was really amazing to see the difference in the crowd and the evolution of his music.

Before Thomas took the stage, his opening act Chris Cavanaugh fired up the audience. It was great to see what we could of his set since we headed backstage to meet Thomas. Hope we can see Chris again soon!

Thomas took the stage shortly afterwards and got the audience dancing and singing along to his songs. He started off his set with a song called "All American Middle Class White Boy".

Thomas played a lot of his songs off his debut album that came out last year called "It Goes Like This". Of course the crowd went wild when he played the title track off the album. I also really enjoy a song called "Make Me Wanna" and here is a small video of him singing it here:

Thomas also played a few new songs that I have never heard before. I think he is in the process of making his next album and the new songs he played are called "T-Shirt", "Automatic" (he made sure to let us know that it was not like Miranda Lambert's current single Automatic), and a song called "America". I really enjoyed all three of those songs and his song "America" probably got the best response from the audience of them all. I am really looking forward to seeing what he has in store for his next album! 

Overall it was an amazing show and can't wait to see Thomas again!
