This week we got to go the Country Music Festival in Nashville. It is basically non-stop music all day from Thursday to Sunday. We got to hear just about every top country artist including some of the greats as well. We were able to walk to all the different venues so it was really easy to see everything we wanted.
To make the weekend even more entertaining, Mike's parents were in town with a bunch of their friends so we got to meet up with them for a few meals and show them the neighborhood. They even let us join in a brief tailgate party at their car prior to going to the Saturday night concerts.
It was definitely cool to see so many musicians in one place playing their fans' favorites. Having all of the true fans show up just added to the atmosphere. The weather cooperated too letting us be able to attend all the events we wanted too without getting wet or having to melt under the heat.
A few things that I'm sure we'll laugh about for awhile...
1 . Why does Lenny Kravitz think he can crash a Country Music Festival and pretend that the crowd is singing with him for 40 minutes?
2. As if Zac Brown wasn't cool already, having him singing The Gambler with Kenny Rogers just amplifies it.
3. No matter what Mr. Egger says... He did not stay until Dave Mathews' set was complete. (Note: There was no Dave Mathews ... he apparently imagined this part of the concert.)
4. Dierks Bentley is still just as awesome as when I first heard him in college and finally decided I liked country music.
This festival was such a great time I am already planning to try to attend next year as well!
