The ladies from Miss Willie Brown, Kasey & Amanda, got the Jagermeister Country Tour rockin’ with non-stop energy as they ran through their catchy single “Sick of Me,” as well as “Freeland,” which tugged at the heart strings, “Common Crazy,” “Good Fight,” and others.  These songs are available on their EP, which we will be giving away an autographed copy of soon!  These girls are full of sass, spunk, energy, and were the perfect choice to get the night started!

Josh Thompson had just arrived from Biloxi, MS a few hours before taking the stage at Sunset Cove in Boca Raton, and the first thing Josh said to us in the Meet & Greet was “Ya’ll it’s beautiful down here!” Josh took the stage after the ladies from Miss Willie Brown got things going.  Josh kicked off with “Beer on The Table,” which was his debut hit single.  After a few songs, Josh told the crowd “I hope ya’ll are ready to party!”  He really wasn’t kidding, as the only time he slowed things down was when it came time to sing “Sinner.”  He immediately picked things right back up with the song “You Ain’t Seen Country Yet” which if you haven’t heard, you should check it out!  The crowd sang back to Josh almost every song!  Josh performed crowd favorites “Blame it on Waylon,” “Won’t Be Lonely Long, and “Way Out Here.”

To say that Dierks Bentley was awesome would be an understatement!  One fan said “Dierks is rocking the house!  This show is WAY better than the Kenny show a few weeks ago!”  Dierks kept the party going with hit after hit.  When he started to perform “Am I The Only One” the crowd went nuts.  Dierks also performed the song “Up On The Ridge” with most of the crowd singing right back to him.  Dierks kept the party going well after sunset, running through his library of hits.  Dierks tried his best to keep things going by mixing in slower songs like “Settle For a Slow Down” and “Come a Little Closer” with hits like “What Was I Thinkin’,” “How Am I Doin’,” and “Sideways.”

Overall this was a great show!  Completely the party environment, but I truly didn’t expect much less from the Jagermeister Country Tour.  If this tour stops in to your town, I highly recommend seeing it!
