Church Show in Charlotte

Okay this concert was awhile ago but I still wanted to give a little review for those of you wanting to know how it was! I know Kiff gave you a little insight as to what she experienced unfortunately she couldn't stay for the whole show but she enjoyed what she saw. Well I headed to Coyote Joe's in Charlotte after work and met up with the crazy Church Choir people. I sat in the car for a while then headed to the line with my friends Lee and Adam. Lee actually runs a really amazing website ericchurchmusic.com where you can find everything Eric Church related. Check it out sometime! Anyways stood in line for a bit then finally the doors opened I got my spot up front like always so I can get the best shots of the ECB boys!

Fortunately, we were lucky enough to have an amazing opening band by the name of Jonathan Singleton and the Grove. I may have mentioned them in an earlier post but seriously check these guys out they are outstanding. Too bad they aren't touring with Eric anymore they really made the night enjoyable beside Eric of course. Definitely be sure to listen to Storms and Probably Just Time! Jonathan doesn't have a song on his new album I don't like be sure to pick it up when it is released. Here are a few pictures of the band!











































Eric came on after Jonathan and was greeted by his hometown crowd. Eric grew up in a small town by the name of Granite Falls which is near Hickory, NC. At this point the place was packed everyone was screaming and yelling for the hometown boy! He played the good mix of old and new stuff and rocked the house. If you haven't heard Eric's music before do yourself a favor and get either one or both of his cds for yourself and listen to a great songwriter in the making. I have always said that a song sung by the writer themselves shows the true meaning of what is being sung. You see the emotion that goes into the song and you get a glimpse into the life and thoughts of the writer. Songwriting has always been something I was interested in learning more about. I have learned quite a bit through Eric about the entire writing process from beginning to end. After the show, hung out with friends talked to the guys in the band. Headed to the local waffle house listened to the cook yell at the waiters too funny! She was rough! Headed to the hotel to get a few winks of sleep before heading to South Carolina for a record store appearence and show at the Blindhorse for night two of excitement. Before I continue here are a few pictures of Eric and the ECB Boys!

Never Think Thursday Part 2

Well as you know Kiff has been a little bored without me the past week. She has gone off the Twilight deep end!! HAHA jkjkjkjk. Thought I better post something to break things up a bit, but then again who can't get enough of Mr. Pattinson these days:)! You may not have know, but I took an unexpected trip back home. Let's just say it was a very emotional trip. It started out good and went south from there. I hit an ECB show in the great state of Illinois. Wanted to meet up with some old friends, but it didn't pan out. Two of them had to back out of the show one was not expecting me to be there, the other car trouble. I had fun anyways but missed them dearly! I have to admit the "Young and Wild Tour" has really gone full circle. Every show gets better and better. I have to say the show last Friday was definitely one of the top 3 I have been to so far and I have been to a few ;) hahaha! I really enjoy taking pictures and being out on the road listening to great bands and music. It is the one place I can go to forget my problems for a few hours. Without it I would probably go insane. I will post some pictures of the Chicago show soon. I am getting ready to hit my second ECB show with my best bud Kiff tomorrow in Charlotte, so be sure to check out our review which will be up soon after the show. Hers will probably be up first, as I am thinking of hitting the Greenville show on Saturday. Oh by the way hey C, (you know who you are;)) glad to see you found me!

Til Sunday~ Giggles:)

Music Monday- Eric Church Edition

Congrats to Kiff for winning Edward!! HAHA we will have some fun with that soon!!! HAHAHA........ Anyways that another story!
Well I am back from a very long week with the Eric Church Band. Let's just say I have see all sides of the state of North Carolina following these boys. If you haven't gotten Eric's new CD Carolina, you are seriously missing out. It is completely different from his debut album "Sinners Like Me". It is so worth getting this CD. My all time favorite song has to be "Smoke A Little Smoke" which was written by Eric and his guitar players Jeff Hyde and Driver Williams. Two of the nicest people you could ever meet. I love these boys too death! As for my trip this past week, I started in Boone, Eric's Alma Mater, at the small bar called Legends. It was crazy with all the college kids, there was a good turnout for a Monday night. The boys rocked out like always. After the show, I headed home slept a couple hours and went to work. Day 2 of Church was in Winston Salem for the Tuesday CD release party. The crowd was a little more reserved this time around, they seriously could have pick things up a bit for the boys. I know the front row did!! After the show, I again headed home slept a few hours and got up for work. At this point, I have had maybe 8 hours of sleep the past two night. Wednesday after work I headed to the local Best Buy and bought Carolina. I was so proud of what I heard. All this time waiting and I was not disappointed with the result. I was blown away by the CD. The funky sound gives the CD a completely different feel from the first one. I have not taken it out yet. Seriously go out and buy the CD you will not be disappointed. Well after buying the CD, I headed to Kiff's place for a little Rock Band and ended up getting home around midnight. A few hours of sleep and off to work again. Here we go again, off to Raleigh for a Walmart signing and show at the The Lincoln Theater. The signing was quick, Eric sang two song acoustic and then started signing. I quickly told Eric I love the new CD and jetted off to the show. Got to the venue just before the big crowds came and luckily ended up second row. Let's just say the show was one of the most amazing I have seen so far and let's just say ;) I have been to quite a few over the last three years. The boys were just on that night. I hated for the show to be over. After the show, I hung out with friends and then headed home for a couple hours sleep. Got up late for work yikes! Headed out with all my gear for another day of Church. After work headed to Asheville, the show was good and the crowd was really into it. Every show in NC was sold out and filled to the brim with eager Eric Church Fans wanting an amazing show. Now I need to rest up for round two starting on the 14th. This lifestyle ain't killed me yet! I wouldn't miss this ride for anything!!! Check out this clip of my favorite song if you are interested!!


Til next time,
