I left Austin, Texas, on Wednesday to head to Nashville. Soon after arriving, buses pulled out around 8 p.m. to head to Florence, South Carolina, where we played a CRAZY sold out show with great energy. What a way to get things goin' again after two weeks off!
Friday night was Knoxville, TN - another sold out show with almost 18,000 people! Not to mention everyone from the country music industry was there, as well. It’s always great to be that close to Nashville....you never know who's going show up! John Rich, Cowboy Troy, & 2 Foot Fred came in to support John's act, the JaneDear Girls. An amazing moment happened when Cowboy Troy grabbed my mic and we made Knoxville a big party! We had all 18,000 people singing "Good Ole Rocky Top." I'd like to thank Mr. Rod Youree, a good DJ buddy of mine from Nashville - Good looking out on that one!
[ The JaneDear Girls started the night off and Eric Church was amazing as always. I introduced Jason Aldean and when his intro started, the place exploded! Even if you're not a huge country fan, you would love this tour. It’s like Megadeath meets George Strait!
We hung out with everyone for a couple hours back on the bus before heading to Columbus, Ohio. This time, I got the arena to chant "O H - I O O H - I O." If you're a fan of Ohio State, you know what I’m talking about!!
The first country drummer, DJ Duo, kicked off at Park Street Saloon in Columbus that night. Rich Redmond (Jason Aldean's drummer) and I started a little project called Groove Country. The aftershow was AMAZING! It was a sold out club with great energy - I can't wait to do it again!
Everyone who is attending the ACM Awards in Vegas can check us out that weekend. I will post the schedule once deposits are paid...LOL! After the ACM Awards Sunday night, EVERYONE is invited party with me (and who knows who else!) at TABU inside the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino!
