He was born in a small country town and lived a happy childhood with his family. His family was always very supportive of his dream to be a singer. Even from the beginning of his career, Luke Bryan has been very successful as a country singer. He has been nominated for many awards and won quite a few as well. Bryan lovingly takes care of his current family of two sons and a wife. Luke Bryan has been a very accomplished artist, even after having to cope with the deaths of his brother and his sister.

His wife Mary Davis-Travis got up on stage and spoke out about everything that Randy has been through over the years. Alan Jackson was there and performed the song On the Other Hand. He also spoke out about touring with Travis years ago saying, "When he sang, the women were screaming and fainting and it was crazy. I loved it. Someone singing real country music and having that effect and selling all those records, it just made me so happy."

Since I was raised in a small, country town in Oklahoma I definitely heard my fair share of country music. For the most part I wasn’t a fan of mainstream country music because it all sounded very similar, in my opinion. I found Blue Grass music or more Folk inspired country music to be more interesting. But when I was offered the opportunity to attend a Jason Aldean concert with a few friends this semester I didn’t want to miss out. I knew what to expect going to a Jason Aldean concert and that was a lot of boots and a lot of pearl snaps, and I was definitely correct. Jason was in Oklahoma on February 5th for his “We Were Here” tour. I had never been to a country music concert before and was looking forward to the new experience.

There’s no better feeling than being at a concert and jamming along to songs that you love while surrounded by people who share the same love for the music. Music concerts are majestic environments where a variety of different people come together in order to share their love of music. A few weeks ago I attended a Zac Brown Band concert for the first time and I was truly inspired by the band’s artistry and skill. The band was fully able to captivate their audience with their soulful tunes and obvious passion for performing. One moment of the concert that particularly stood out to me was when the band performed a cover of The Beatles hit song “Let it Be.” Zac Brown Band was able to stay true to the original song while bringing a whole different level of soul to the music through the addition of a gospel choir. The audience immediately related to the song and came together to sing along to a song by one of the biggest bands in music history. Zac Brown Band was able to successfully deliver such a powerful song as “Let it Be” which was off of The Beatles final studio album.

Houston is known for their variety of concerts from rock, pop, rap, christian, and country but the most popular concerts here are country. Carrie Underwood is known as the “Queen of Country” in the music industry, she is an amazing songwriter and an outstanding vocalist. This past spring, I was able to experience the best performance of my life.The tour was called, “Carrie Underwood: The Storyteller Tour, Stories in the Round.” But being able to go see this show was way harder than I originally anticipated it to be.

The Paynes all gather at Curtis and Ella’s house. The Robertsons all gather at Phil and Miss Kay’s house, not only for dinner but just randomly during the day to converse. It is very common for families, big or small, to gather at the parents’ house. Evidently, this is such a common “Southern” tradition, country singer/song writer, Tim McGraw, thought that many could relate to the idea, so he recorded a song about it that he describes as “nostalgic” and “like a warm blanket.” During the chorus of his recently released song, “Meanwhile Back At Mama’s”, he sings, “Meanwhile back at Mama's, the porch lights on, come on in if you wanna. Supper's on the stove and beer's in the fridge. Red sun sinkin' out low on the ridge. Games on the tube and daddy smoked cigarettes. Whiskey keeps his whistle wet. Funny the things you thought you'd never miss, in a world gone crazy as this.” Here, he describes how his parent’s home was a welcoming, love filled place that seems like heaven to

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

The show began with the song, “Push da Button,” performed by Tiffany White-Welchen, Matthew Carter and Aguel Lual.

During Kenny’s early touring years he played covers of Keith Whitley, Jones, and Haggard’s songs (“Chesney, Kenny.”). Some of Chesney’s favorite venues to play at early on were fairs, festivals, and roomy honky tonks were he could play for more than 2 hours (“Chesney, Kenny.”). Kenny was no different from any other up in coming artist during this time period, which was to play some of his songs and songs the crowd enjoyed listening to.

Many country music artists looked up to Johnny Cash such as, Willie Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. Johnny cash took on the toughest gigs in town. He even played at the prison where he definitely left an imprint. Johnny Cash recorded many of his songs at “Columbia Records”. Kris

You might have heard his name before but there is much more to him than being a regular singer. Luke grew up as a southern boy, began an amazing career, and even kept his family with him through it all. He had a normal life growing up as a child, until a terrible event occurred. He then got up and started his music career. What started as something so small turned into an amazing career. It is impressive that he is always spending time with his family even though he is one of the most famous country singers. Many would love a guy like Luke.

With the ever-evolving sounds of the country music, he wondered at one point, if there was still a place for his purist sound in the industry. One day, while listening to some music, he became entranced by the lyrics of an old Johnny Paycheck song. The last line states “we’ll give our all to music, and we’ll give our life.” He knew instantly that he had to make a comeback, and couldn’t let the music die inside of

I grew up listening to country music since my mother loved it so much. It was her favorite thing to listen to when we would go on long road trips with my father and younger brother throughout the years. Unfortunately, since I listened to it so much, I starting disliking it when I became a teenager. I started believing that country music was only for “older” people. I also thought it was boring and wasn’t the “cool type of music” teenagers are supposed to listen to. I eventually grew out of that stage and started listening to country music again a few years later. The reason I started listening to it again was because of one amazing country artist. My best friend invited me to a Luke Bryan concert in Las Vegas in 2010. At first I was iffy about it since I wasn’t a huge country music fan like her, but then I watched some videos of Luke’s performances and he seemed like a very talented artist. I decided to give it a shot and go. What I thought was going to be an average concert, turned out to be the best concert of my life! Luke put on an amazing performance and touched my heart in so many ways. I pictured
