SUNDAY’S HIGHLIGHTS<br />
Girls night out / Russell Dickerson - Pop<br />
He was pouring beer down his band’s throats, most likely getting<br />
drunk on stage. You can just tell by his stage presence that he loves<br />
his life right now. The one thing that surprised me is he had a pop<br />
song called MGNO (My Girl’s Night Out). Everyone in the audience<br />
was jumping and dancing to it, but it really was unexpected, since<br />
this is his debut album and touring, so it seems surprising to release<br />
a pop song as well.<br />
We did more walking around the festival today so stopped by a<br />
Barefoot tent to sample the new wine in cans, which were good! I<br />
was drinking the Red Sangria one the whole time. My friends and I<br />
did the photo booth with real guitars and costumes. Fun time! Lots<br />
of the booths were barbeque food, clothes, games, and a swing ride.<br />
Chris Lane has a song on the radio called “Take Back Home Girl,” but<br />
I didn’t know much about him going into the festival. What a<br />
performer, captured the hearts of every girl in there! He’s about<br />
5’6”, but he was cute and sweet to the girls around the stage,<br />
bringing one girl up to sing “All About You.” I can’t wait for him to<br />
come back to Chicago because I am going!<br />
Cole Swindell has a lot of country hits too, so it was cool seeing him.<br />
I was with my co-workers at this point as well, so it was fun dancing<br />
with them. Not much stood out, but he was a good performer.<br />
The one act everyone was looking forward to was Florida Georgia<br />
Line. Lots of fire, lots of energy, two friends that really made it in<br />
country music. People around me kept yelling for their song “Dirt,”<br />
so when they played it people went crazy.<br />
I think that’s enough country for all of you readers. Hope I filled you<br />
in on the best songs for the summer of country music.<br />
Thanks for another great year LakeShake!!!<br />
