2018-2019 RECAP

After that 2018 concert - the rest was history. I dove head first and wanted to be exposed to all and everything red dirt and country related. I did some major research and digging on some bands - and here’s my list to prove it. All of these were in the Chicago land area. 

2018- 

January: 

Cody Johnson and Jacob Bryant 

April: 

Pat Green 

May: 

William Clark Green 

July: 

Windy City Smokeout 

*A not so fun fact, it was 90 degrees out and after about 7 spiked sweet teas I left early and missed Turnpike Troubadours (highly disappointed in myself)

September: 

Parker McCollum and Randy Rogers 

*Now this concert is what I call my gateway drug into country music, everything about this concert was absolutely amazing. 

October: 

Dirty River Boys

Chris Lane 

November: 

Micky and the Motorcars 

2019- 

February-

Justin Moore and Cody Johnson

Casey Donahew and Josh Abbott 

March- 

Mike and the Moonpies and David Quinn

April-

Koe Wetzel and Kolby Cooper 

*This night was wild, so wild that we all ended up at the strip club until 4am 

June- 

Charley Crockett

William Clark Green and Ross Cooper

July-

Windy City Smokeout 

September- 

Giovanni and the Hired Gun and Koe Wetzel 

October-

Hello! 

Let me start this first post with a disclaimer - I’m not a music expert 

Now that we have that covered. 

I’m just a girl from Chicago who grew up on rap music. In 2018 I got invited to a Cody Johnson concert at Joes Live in Rosemont and of course I didn’t turn it down because hey, I’m here for a good time. Long story short that concert opened my eyes to a whole new world of music that i’ve been missing out on! Since that concert I’ve been to over 20+ concerts and have been obsessed with this genre ever since. 

I made this tumblr to share my concert experiences, nothing fancy but something fun. 

2020 I’m ready for you - let’s roll
