Concert Update:

So far I have a brief list of concerts I will be attending this year. Most of the summer concerts haven’t been announced yet so this list is far from complete.

May 10th Alan Jackson – Vancouver BC:
My friends and I decided a nice little road trip up to Canada would be a nice change of pace. My wife didn’t want to go because we have a VERY FULL month of May. We made it a “guys weekend” and will be limiting it to 5 people (already have the list) who will be piling in the back of my Bronco with the top off and driving up, piling in a hotel room and having a helluva time. We decided that since I’m married I don’t want to have to take my ring off, and all the other guys except Richy are single, so that leaves Richy to be the “bachelor”. No he’s not really getting married, but if you have the opportunity, you MUST have a bachelor party on guy’s weekend. Look out people, this ones going to be one for the ages. Along with that Alan’s new CD is amazing, and I want to cross him off “my list” of people I haven’t seen and MUST.

July 11th Pat Green – Seattle (showbox):
He used to be a lot more “TX underground” but then got his big break with Wave on Wave and others. I really am hit and miss with this guy. He is an amazing artist and I love TX dirt country, but some of his songs hit me as TX country mixed with Dave Mathews. Nonetheless, this will be amazing and I cannot think of a better way to spend July 11th (Friday) night.

August 16th (Sat) Cash’d Out – Seattle (Tractor Tavern):
I really love this venue, and I really love Johnny Cash. This is a tribute (cover) band to the late and great man in black. If you cannot get excited for this show, then click the “x” on the top right of the screen.

I guess that is really not very angry for a cash picture, but we are having a great time!!!!!

HIT THE X


September 20th David Allan Coe – Napavine (Napavine amphitheatre):
Classic nasty country, and by nasty I mean he gets down right crude. My friends and I had a blast listening to some of his disgusting music in college. These nights usually consisted of a can of dip, Jack Daniels, broken fish tanks, broken faces, broken knuckles, brick wall fights, etc, the list could really go on forever. I really look forward to going to this show with friends new and old, and staying at my mom’s farm on the way. New and old friends are fun and there is nothing more fun that being on my mom’s farm. The two mix perfectly for a really fun time.

Those are all we have planned so far. I would really love to see Jason Aldean, Halfway to Hazard, Kenny, Tim, etc but they are all scheduled for Tuesdays or Wednesday, WHO DOES THAT?! People have to work! I cannot take two days off work to go to a show in southern Washington in the middle of the week. Boo on them. I will really miss seeing Aldean, and Halfway to Hazard.

JUST IN:

Brooks and Dunn, with ZZ top and Rodney Adtkins!

One of the better concerts announced so far. They only have the dates up so far, but tickets go on sale this Sat. April 12th. Learn about it!
