Hey y’all, JenB, host of Red Dirt
Nights here. I recently had the opportunity to attend the Country Deep Tour,
courtesy of AT&T U-verse. The concert was at the Uptown Theater in Kansas
City. I must say, if there’s a country tour to keep a look out for, The Country
Deep Tour featuring Missouri native David Nail is definitely the one to check
out in your town.
When I heard the show was at The
Uptown Theater, I was immediately sold. This is one of my personal favorite
venues in the Kansas City area. The historic turn of the century décor, ornate
woodwork and the brightly colored pillars lining the
lower level are so beautiful. It is a must to catch a show at this theater.
When we arrived we were greeted by
friendly staff at the door. We proceeded to snap a few pictures and spoke with
some of the very personable AT&T reps before entering the concert hall
itself. Upon entering, the show opener, Sam Hunt was preforming his version of
Keith Urban’s “Cop Car,” which I later found out he co-wrote. There was a good
deal of crowd participation, swaying, and cell phones in the air, which really
set the mood for the remainder of the show. He was a very energetic performer
and was definitely easy on the eyes, as well (in case you ladies were
wondering.) This was my 1st time seeing Sam Hunt live, but as an up
and coming artist, I’m sure we’ll be hearing more from him in the months to
come.
Now moving on to the headlining
performer of the evening, David Nail’s entire performance was quite energetic,
passionate and heartfelt. He played a few songs off of his new album “I’m a
Fire” which was released March 3rd. His warm voice and raw emotion
really seemed to shine through on his more popular hits like “Let it Rain,” “Red
Light” and my personal favorite “Whatever She’s Got.” David was really
connected with his home state crowd and made us feel like part of his
performance. Mr. Nail is new age artist
with an old down home country feel and most definitely not a show that any true
country music fan should miss!
Needless to say, we had an
excellent time at the concert. Check the remaining show dates to see if the
AT&T U-verse Country Deep Tour is coming to your town. You won’t be
disappointed. It’s definitely JenB approved.
