99.9 Kiss Country (WKIS) is really on to something with their Undercover Concerts. It’s brilliant, really…they give away a few hundred free tickets, invite those lucky fans to an intimate venue, and surprise them with a superstar artist that nobody knows who it is until they actually take stage. On this Tuesday night (February 19th), fans were treated to a great show inside the theater at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale. The place erupted with cheers when Kiss Country’s Kenny Walker and U-Turn Laverne introduced Grand Ole Opry member Josh Turner as the surprise guest!

Turner kicked off the show with “Your Man,” or, as he put it, “The song that made Scotty McCreery famous. After he finished “Your Man” he ran through his list of hits including “All Over Me,” Wouldn’t Be a Man,” “Long Black Train,” “Time is Love,” “Firecracker,” his current single “Find me a Baby,” “Would You Go With Me,” and finally closing it with “Why Don’t We Just Dance.” He packed quite a punch in his 45 minute acoustic set, and took the time to tell some stories, including the fact that he took the idea for the video for “Find Me a Baby” from the TV show Modern Family.

After the show, the guests were invited to move the party over to the casino, where they raffled off a bunch of Josh Turner autographed items, including the grand prize, a signed electric guitar. All-in-all, this was a great night with a fun concert topped off with some really cool prizes for some very lucky fans!
