An Evening With Kane Brown

On April 21st my sister-in-law, and I went to see Kane Brown at Billy Bob's Texas. I've lived in Texas for the majority of my life, but I have never been to the stockyards. This was my first experience at an actually country bar. Sure we've have stuff here locally, but they usually mix a little bit of everything. This was strictly country: The World's Largest Honky Tonk. They had a mechanical bull, a decent sized dance floor, two sections of pool tables, a restaurant, and a gift shop. And that was just the front part of the bar. When you passed another section of doors you had finally made your way into the "venue", and each side was lined with a bar. Now, this place is smoke free, and that includes e-cigarettes which I personally thought was awesome. They also had a section that was blocked off for adults who had younger kids with them. If I ever see another artist play there I totally won't mind taking Emery. The entire place was actually really cool.

We walked around the place, and I bought a single beer. It cost me as much as a six pack though. Now, with all of those positives I mentioned before there was bound to be a negative in here somewhere, right? Well, when we asked one of the attendants where the general admission section was, he told us we were already in it. That's right folks, the entire bar was general admission. I felt a little gypped by this because we thought we'd be going a bit lower. All other venues we've been to have had general admission on the actual floor that was sectioned off. This place had us in with everyone else that was just there for pool, and beer. It was also so far from the stage that we basically saw the entire show on a big screen that was hanging in front of us. So, if anyone from the venue or Kane Brown's people ever read this: PLAY A SHOW AT THE SOUTHSIDE BALLROOM NEXT TIME PLEASE?!

Now, once Kane Brown took the stage I just focused on having a good time. He played all of his hits, and he gave everyone a peak of his six pack. Yup, six pack. He interacted with the crowd the entire time, and even though we couldn't hear everything when the crowd started to get rowdy it was still a really fun night. Some of you may know more about this young artist than I do, but I believe he got his start thanks to a really loyal fan base. He started out by posting videos on social media that showcased his ability to play the guitar, and sing. He did a lot of covers back then, and at the show he definitely incorporated some old school country that I absolutely loved! He's grown as an artist, and I think that's really awesome to witness. I only discovered his music by chance so I can't say I've been rooting for him since the beginning. Now that I've heard his own material, and have seen him live I can only imagine that we're going to be seeing a lot more of him in this genre. So, if you're into country music, I definitely suggest you guys check Kane out.

The drive up to the venue was actually shorter than I thought it would be. We did have to drive right through a storm that had some hail, but other than that it was easy to get there. Once it was over, we narrowly missed out on a down pour too. As soon as we closed the car doors we saw a flash of lightening, and the rain just started coming down. It was pretty entertaining to see a bunch of people in high heels, and tiny dresses trying to make a run for their cars. Especially when the parking lot was across the street, and a few blocks in length. All in all, it was a great time. We hit up Whataburger on the way out, and were home way passed my bed time. It was a great night out with one of my favorite human beings though. We were able to get all dolled up, and it was a much appreciated night off. It'll be awhile before I get another one of these in, but that's okay. I'm hoping the next time I'll be able to take the little along. I just know that she'd have a blast.
