Last weekend, KC got us tickets to attend Coyote Countryfest 2015 at The Orleans Hotel & Casino. It had been awhile since I'd been to a concert type event, so I was excited!
The countryfest started with an opening act from Striking Matches. I'd never heard of them before, but they were really good. Next was Mo Pitney, a young kid from Illinois. I didn't know him either, but we enjoyed his set. I soon discovered that he's the one that sings the song "Country". I had no idea it was him and I LOVE that song!
Following Mo Pitney was Rodney Atkins. I'm horrible with knowing who sings what songs (because the radio never seems to tell you), but I knew most of the songs he sang. I would have to say that he was the best act of the night and definitely stole the whole show. Big & Rich closed the show and to say the least; it was awful. I felt really bad for them because it was all because of the sound. They had the backup music/instruments way too loud so all we could hear was feedback. I couldn't make out many words they were singing and it literally hurt my ears. The arena really cleared out after a couple of songs when we realized they weren't going to do anything about it. We ended up leaving a little early as well and it took a good half an hour for my ears to stop ringing and hear normally again.
Overall, it was a really fun night and I was so happy we went. I love going out and attending events with KC. The above pictures say Clare Dunn (who I don't know) was supposed to be there too, but I don't remember anyone other than the four I mentioned. Not sure if we missed it or if maybe she came after Big & Rich. Anyway, our next big event is The Book of Mormon at the end of this month. I'm so beyond excited for that show!
What kind of events do you like to attend?
