Love live country music

horseshoeLuck with the concerts lately... not so much. Let's start with the Gary Allan show on March 5 @ the House of Blues in Atlantic City... we were going to get some tickets at the door - SOLD OUT. We heard it was a great show too.
Then... last weekend to go see Eric Church at Prospectors & oh yeah, SOLD OUT. What the heck?!
So this week I was listening to Cat at work and heard "Caller number 7 wins Josh Turner tickets" and I started dialing, and it rang ~ yipee!! It was great to win tickets after my good run of bad luck. I feel lucky, really lucky. Can't wait for the show! Josh Turner has the sexiest voice ever ;)

Speaking of live country music...
  • 4 Wheel Drive is playing at the Brigantine Elks Lodge April 4
  • Adam Gregory is playing Prospectors on April 8, $6 from 6-8pm
  • Cat Country 107.3 is doing something called the Weekly Cat Country Local 10 where local country musicians get radio play Sunday nights starting March 29. Sounds cool...
  • James Otto will be at Prospectors on April 18 - 856-235-1121 for tix
  • Bombshel is playing at Prospectors on May 7th 6-8pm, $6
  • Jamey Johnson's playing Prospectors on May 9th $15 advance, $20 door. Call 856-235-1121 for tix
  • The XTU Show is June 13th & includes Big & Rich, Phil Vassar, James Otto, Kellie Pickler & more ---- The unofficial start to summer :)
  • Kenny Chesney is coming to Philadelphia June 27
  • Toby Keith is with Trace Adkins at the Susquehanna center in Camden on July 25th
  • Keith Urban's coming to the Wachovia Center August 1
  • Brad Paisley is playing with Jimmy Wayne & Dierks Bentley on August 15
  • The Little Rascals, I mean Rascal Flatts are with Darius Rucker September 11.
  • XTU's doing their mega ticket deal again this year which includes The Anniversary Show, Toby, Brad & the Rascals... ooooh!
And for the heck of it, there is a benefit this Saturday at Prospectors called Officer Down. It's a fundraiser where the proceeds benefit the families of deceased and permanently disabled law enforcement officers. $10 in advance, $15 at the door. $2 drafts, 6pm doors open, 3 hour buffet. A night out & a good cause all in one...
