Happy Birthday Martina McBride

Country hit maker Martina McBride celebrates her birthday today.

A couple of years ago I had the honor of reviewing her show at Wolf Trap. You can relive it here in my review.

The first video was "Independence Day" followed by "Concrete Angel." Below is from the concert I reviewed.

Here is one more hit to wrap this blog up..

Happy Birthday Martina McBride! Thanks for stopping in stay tuned for a new post!

Martina McBride

I go to a lot of concerts. I love it when a show is better than you expect and that is what happened last week when I caught Martina McBride in concert. I wrote a pretty in depth review(wordy) here. She sounded great and David Nail was a solid opening act.

Here is a taste, a bit of a recap of the evening...

I was surprised to see Carolyn Dawn Johnson  performing in Martina's band. That was a treat. The talented singer/songwriter added her backing vocals and guitar to the performance.

Who Carolyn Dawn Johnson is..

Here is a taste of David Nail as well. He is an artist to keep an ear open too in the future.

It was a cool show. I didn't write much in May but I am writing more this month and July is getting booked pretty full. So, I will be sharing some of my concert and theatre adventures here so stay tuned!
