Concerts Galore

I love live music, but residing in the fascinating and culture rich city of Topeka, Kansas, does have its disadvantages. *partially dripping in sarcasm* So, any chance an artist I like plays close, I try to attend. Last week, I fit in three concerts for a mere $10.

First off was Faith Hill and Tim McGraw on their Soul2Soul Tour. Hmmm...unexpectedly boring. The problem could have been that I was so far away that I had to look at the giant screen to discern Faith from her back up singers. But, alas, the seats were free, so we left them early and beat the crowd out of the arena (and before we suffered irreparable nose bleeds).

Secondly was Kelly Clarkson. We were blessed with a gorgeous evening of near perfect temperatures. Her music is fantastic but her stage presence is lacking in entertainment. Good thing this was free too, or I would have been severely disappointed after her 45 minute set ended abruptly and we were forced to head home before the sun set. (Now, if Graham Colton was still opening for her, my opinion of the concert in its entirety would be different. :) )

Last, and most definitely not least was the Locash Cowboys. They ROCK--for merely $10! Their original music could use...well, new writers. BUT, if you want to be purely entertained and find yourself losing track of three hours of your life, go see these Nashville "gentle"men. Cute girls be forewarned...
