Review: THOMAS RHETT: 'SOUND TRACK TO LIFE TOUR' at Acrisure Amphitheater

Review: LINDSEY STIRLING’S DUALITY TOUR at Acrisure Amphitheater
We were fortunate to attend the second-to-last stop on Lindsey Stirling’s Duality Tour, after her most recent album of the same name. This concert came at the right time for me personally, as I had gotten some rough news earlier in the day, that was very unexpected, and had debated attending the s…
Photo Review: Mary Kutter and Junior Brown, Special Guest for Hank Williams, Jr.

Review: DARIUS RUCKER'S SONGS OF SUMMER TOUR at Acrisure Amphitheater
I was fortunate enough to see and work a show when Darius first reintroduced himself as a Country artist at a small acoustic concert.
