Lee Brice Concert Critique

There have been many stars throughout the years in country music. Two of the most iconic are Alan Jackson and George Strait. Alan Jackson hit his peak in the late 90s and early 2000s. He has not been as productive as of 2015, but he is still creating some music. George Strait was most productive in the mid to early 90s and like Alan he is at the end of his career. Country music was dramatically affected by these two and they both did it with class. They always made music that was family friendly and anyone could listen to it.

In Carrie Underwood’s career she broke many records and won many awards. In ‘05 Underwood won a Teen Choice award for best TV Reality/Variety Star- Female. Her song ‘Inside Your Heaven’ reached No. 1 and album ‘Some Hearts’ also reached No. 1 on Billboard Country Albums. Between ‘06 and ‘10 she won 10 Academy of Country Music Awards. In ‘07 she released single ‘Wasted’, she sold 1 million copies and the song received a Gold Certification from The Recording Industry Association of America. She also received a Grammy award for best new artist in ‘07.

1. Martina McBride was able to crank out three top charting records in one year: "Love's the Only House," "I Love You," and "There You Are." There's so much love coming from that woman! She was able to have a huge following relate to her, and hence, made her the number one chick in Country music.

Finally the last performer and in my opinion the best of the night, Ms. Marsha Ambrosius. Marsha Ambrosuis is an R&B singer. According to freedictionary.com R&B is defined as “a style of music developed by African Americans that combines blues and jazz, characterized by a strong backbeat and repeated variations on syncopated instrumental phrases.” As she sang Marsha gave a story as to the songs she performed and related it back to the album’s title whether the song related to lovers or friends and if she though that two people could be lovers and friends. There was no question as to what the song implied or was about during the performance

Tyler Farr's song Redneck Crazy started to play and i screamed my head off.At the time Redneck Crazy was my favorite song by Tyler Farr. After a couple songs he looked at the crowd with a big grin on his face he then explained “ So I have a new song and I like ya’ll so much that I think i’m going to sing it for ya’ll.Nobody has ever heard it but ya’ll. So don’t judge me if it’s not very good.” He sang the song and it was amazing.The lights turned on and he walked off the stage.

Concert realized in Knoxville on Bearden High School auditorium. An Event realized annually during one week at April. In one day of this week, it is the concert day when is featuring the Bearden High school Jazz Band, Clarinet Choir, Concert Band, and Symphonic Band performed at the same day. The Bearden Band is composed by 200 students of school and is a traditional band from Knoxville. My second choice for review was this concert because of all different styles of music were played that night.

Each time I set my embouchure on my mouthpiece, I create a mass-spring system with my lips. They oscillate, providing an air current. As my lips transition through a series of motions and contort to control the tension, I scale through a large range of pitches. I produce multiple series of resonance as my trombone resonates, each one creating a different standing wave from the last. I change the frequency of the vibration of my lips, increasing it in order to reach a higher note. I try to sneak in a G above the staff at pianissimo, but clip. Undeterred, I attempt to play a little louder, providing a velocity of air sufficient enough to allow me to reach it. I masterfully move the slide, manipulating the complex closed pipe so that it will resonate at the frequencies I desire. I make sure to achieve a mix of accuracy and speed in order to play the music at the tempo I want and also be in harmony with the rest of the band. Each note has a deliberate and careful style, crafted to share the emotion I feel with the audience.

On April 26th, 2017, I attended a His Little Feet concert at the Lutheran Church in Sterling Colorado. The concert started at 6 PM on a Wednesday night. We sat in the church pews, there were about 12 on each side in a big room with a high ceiling. The walls where brick and the ceiling came to a point. I noticed there was a big cross behind the stage and a Jesus statue on the left of it. Everyone was dressed casually and there were people of all ages. In the front right pews, it was sectioned off for elementary to middle school aged kids. We sat in the middle left side closer to the wall. Also, as we walked and they handed us a His Little Feet program. The group was consisted of 20 third-world country kids ages 7 through

I remember watching this particular one on TV at the Rose Bowl in 2002. It still has to be one of my favorite performances of this song. Not only does Martina McBride have an amazing voice, but with the band, the flyby, and the fireworks really set the mood for the entire song. You can tell just by watching it how much the song means to her as she put her heart into the entire performance. It isn't as common to see now days with new upcoming artists.

Kitty Wells and Patsy Cline lead the way for Jean Shepard, Skeeter Davis, Dottie West, Connie Smith, Coretta Lynn, Barbara Mandrell, Tammy Wynette, and Dolly Parton raised to the top of the charts. Dolly was the number one though. When she came to the famous life she had ten best top hits of all time. Ya’ll music lovers out there said, “We really couldn’t adore Dolly more.” As Dolly Parton is a songwriter/ performer/ actress. Dolly was proven herself worthy. The number of career milestones in 25 gold, platinum, and multiplatinum awards. Dolly reached that number and even almost got higher. No other country singer could get that far, but Dolly did and even in a short amount of time. Everybody loved dolly, Dolly’s hits are still amazing today. Some of the old music lovers still love listening to her today. I got into her music because my mom was one of the old music lovers. She told me her name when I was little, so I decided to go to my laptop that the whole family shared and look up Dolly Parton on YouTube. I found all sorts of songs but I was little and I was in school working on numbers and letters and other stuff so I clicked on the song, “9 to 5” and I loved it I would sing it everyday after school then my mom told me to find a different song because it got annoying. I went to go find a different song and it was, “Traveling Man”. I loved that one too, I just stayed up and listened to them all. Now i love them all I even watch some of her movies that she acts

Watching the judges including Keith Urban sit and cry at her performance, showed how much this song really spoke to so many people, and got me crying even harder then I was just listening to the song. Kelly has been a huge success since winning the first season of American Idol. She came back to perform this powerful piece on their final show. Even watching Jennifer Lopez’ reaction was hard to see. Everybody was just pulled into this song and you

When you see a band live, you arrive with a certain level of expectation. Live music is about atmosphere, energy and a certain sense of intimacy that comes with seeing a band or artist recreate their art for you on stage. If your expectations are met, you leave not only happy, but with a deeper connection with the band thereafter. I had Crooks at a disadvantage before this show as my expectations had been simmering ever since their debut EP Nevermore captivated me back in 2012. Despite this internal pressure, it took only the first minute of the evening’s opening track to realise that my expectations were about to boil over.

CNN actually shared that Jennifer Holliday let the critics get to her and made the decision to end up backing out of the performance. It was actually announced that she would be performing before Jennifer agreed to the performance. This upset her of course. Holliday's publicist, Bill Carpenter, put out a

The most memorable performer of the evening, for me, was Mateo Davis and his original songs. He is an amazing singer and has quite the talent for songwriting. My favorite part of his songs were the melodies that he created. The whole process of songwriting, to me, is daunting. Being able to hear someone produce a song that means something to them is a joy. Mateo created these songs out of nothing and successfully combined different chords to match the words he was singing and the feeling they created. Although they were times where I had trouble discerning the words he was singing, the overall tone of each song was easy to pick out by listening to the musicality of it. The first song he sang was titled “Two” and he mentioned it was about his
