Concert Review: Drew Baldridge and Joe Nichols

Image found here
This past weekend my dad and I went to see Joe Nichols perform at the Harrington Raceway and Casino. I had seen Nichols perform previously, and he was so good that I wanted to see him again.


His opener was Drew Baldridge. I had never heard of him before, but he was rocking the place! After the show, I'd say half the audience went to his merch table to get a picture with him. I think he's going places! Here are a few of his songs:

Rebound (My personal favorite. I totally agree with him: you should never be someone's second choice or someone's rebound.)


Dance with Ya

Burnt Toast

Guns & Roses (his biggest hit, I think)


Notice the weird wires coming out of his head.
Then it was Joe Nichols' turn. I knew something was wrong as soon as he came on stage. He was wearing earbuds that had enormous wires on them, rather than the high-tech wireless kind. I'm not sure if he lost his regular ones, or they got broken, or what, but it was obvious that these were 1. not what he regularly wore and 2. not working well. He was pushing on his ears the entire show, taking the earbuds out, putting them back in, and all the while not singing strongly because he couldn't hear himself. Between each song he would tell the crowd how much he appreciated us for coming out, like he knew how poorly the night was going and wanted to show us how badly he felt about it. It was just kind of sad...I'm glad I had seen him perform well before, because after this I'm not sure I would pay to see him again.

Even so, he still sang his biggest hits. Here are some of my favorites:

Sunny and 75

Yeah

Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off


Brokenheartsville


Joe, I wish you better luck next time!
