Are you a fan? It seems like you either love her or don't have any idea who she is. A friend and I went to see her tonight. It was less than 1 block from the parking garage to the venue but I stepped outside and called an uber. I cant even and it's not even that cold yet. It was a qood show but it was standing room only and I'm at an age where I much prefer a seat assigned to me. So many people, so close. I'm such a germaphobe. Blech. Anyway, we ended up with a decent view. The backgrounds were messing with my camera, but here are a few if you're a fan too.      |

That's awesome. Her song Follow Your Arrow is my life philosophy.
We're going to a concert Friday night, 4 Canadian acts, can't wait! Paul Brandt, High Valley, Jess Mouskaluke and Hunter Brothers. Staying overnight in the city and flying to Mexico in the morning! Good by snow hello sand!

I hate lettering on cars, but its staying!  |

My daughter saw her years ago when she opened for Katy Perry. I do not know a lot about her but saw her wedding featured in a Martha Stewart wedding magazine and thought it was so pretty... especially her flowers and her husband's unforgettable suit.

I am in the group I can take her or leave her. I do think she is a bright star these days. I do think she is very talented and her sound is very fresh. I saw her a couple of years ago when she opened for George Strait in Vegas. My daughter on the other hand really likes her which is rather surprising. You got some great pics from the show. milocat - I saw High Valley last year when they were out on The Highway tour with Adam Doleac. They were both awesome. I don't know the other three you mention and will have to look them up. Have fun. |

I have heard of her but never actually heard her music. I just asked my echo to play her and I am pleasantly surprised. Thank you for introducing me to some new music.

I love her, however, we saw her when she opened for Little Big Town in Chicago last year. I left disappointed. She had just released her latest album and I didn't know a single song. She only sang 2 "oldies". (I know they tour to promote their latest albums.) Not only that, but she looked bored and like it was the last place she wanted to be. Glad you enjoyed her show!!

She's a great vocalist. Don't listen to her regularly, but always like her when I see her on a show.

I know a few of her songs (probably more but just don't realize it).. she is good. You had a good view!!
I went to Wynonna Judd a million years ago.. (somewhere in my 30s I think..lol) and it was just standing room.. I thought then I would never do that again.. but my spot was about like yours.. It was awesome but standing before and during.. Yuck!!

She was the opening act for George Strait in Vegas a couple years ago. Her performance was great, and she did a couple duets with George during his show. Weirdly though, when she came out to go on stage, she was leading a miniature pony and left it off stage, but still in the arena. Not sure what that was about!

I have heard of her, but I have never heard her music. Glad you had a good time. Same here  She played at the Oregon Jamboree a few years ago, but I missed her. There are so many acts and it’s full on sun, we have to skip some acts  |

I saw her a couple weeks ago and was surprised how many ppl were there. I've seen her with other country acts a lot, but def prefer the smaller venues. Her new album is a little more pop-ish (?) to me, but I still like it. I had to listen a few times for it to grow.
I really think she has one of the best voices around ever. Like the classics, patsy cline or dolly parton. Her live vocals sound exactly like her recordings and she looks like she is barely trying! You know how you see ppl who have to belt it out and really put their diaphragm into it? And also really loved her band and how many instruments they played.
Plus I love her blase attitude and how she really don't give a crap about record labels and such.
Glad you had fun!

I'd never heard of her but I looked her up on youtube and started listening to her song "Follow Your Arrow" I'm sorry-it's country and I don't care for country music at all.
But I wanted to say Steph that the photos you got are fantastic! Did you use the camera in your phone for these or another camera?
My favorite band is Marillion and when they come to the USA (they are British) the closest venue to me is in Washington DC and a tiny venue called the 9:30 Club which I love-because it's small. It's always General Admission which I also love because I can get a good spot by showing up early and standing in line. I don't mind at all standing for those shows because there is so much energy and the fans have to wait 2 years usually to see them-there is usually a very dedicated and great audience. So 2 hours staying in line, a 2 1/2 hour show, a warm up band, it all adds up to a long time of standing.
But I do know what you mean. For a regular band, some band that wasn't my favorite, I'm not sure I would feel this way.

Lucky you! I am a fan. Her song, Follow Your Arrow, is one of my faves and the theme of a modern wall hanging quilt that I made.
I'd post a photo but have never figured out how to do that here.

I had no idea who she was until I listened to some of her songs. I recognized the songs when I heard them, but had never known who the singer was. I do like her voice.

Cool! I’m a fan and I don’t necessarily like newer country. She has a fresh voice. Follow your arrow is on my Spotify playlist...”road trip”, it’s such a great song!

I don't know the other three you mention and will have to look them up. Have fun. Paul Brandt has been around since the 90s but never really broke into the US market I don't think. He is a great humanitarian in Alberta. High Valley is from even further north than me! Mennonite boys. They have gotten onto the US airways. The other 2 acts are fairly new and from Saskatchewan. I have never seen George Strait. I hardly have anyone I'd haven't seen that I'd like to everyone has been either to our small city or the big city 5 hours from here. |

Very cool. I love that suit she’s wearing! I kept going back and forth between loving it and thinking it looked like my grams curtains in the 70s. That actually kind of made me like it more. Her band was wearing all brown suits and when she was introducing them she laughed and said 'I just realized you match your cello tonight" I giggled. I kind of miss the sequins but it's been fun to watch her grow as an artist and mature in her music and style. |

I thought the exact thing after that show. The new album grew on me but it took a minute. The show last night was sold out but it seemed like last year there was hardly anyone there who was excited to see her. I should have talked my way to the stage, I bet i could've. She only did a few old songs and a couple of covers last night. Most of it was more recent.  |

Yuck!! A decent spot was hard to come by. There were SO many people. My friend had a perfect view. I had to look under the armpits on front of me for half the show. I needed stilettos. |

The newest album is definitely pop and waaaaay less country western. Just my phone. The camera has surprised me a few times. I dont even travel with a real camera anymore. It's a Samsung. 930 club brings back memories! I used to cut the managers hair in high school and he used to let me in on the weekends. We had so much fun! |
