So Many Amazing Country Artists Performing at the Minnesota State Fair!

Soo I was getting super excited for the State Fair and I somehow managed to find a way to get even more excited when I remembered that there are going to be a ton of amazing artists at this years fair! The question becomes who to choose. I'm leaning towards Toby Keith (a 9.0 on the hottie scale) and Reba.

Okay so I'm a little biased towards the country singers, but here's the full line up to choose from.

George Strait and Reba McEntire on October 21

Hey country fans, I'm the guest writer on the blog today. I'm an intern and will be writing on here occasionally. On Thursday, October 21st, George Strait and Reba McEntire will be performing at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Both are country singing legends that are arguably the most iconic figures for their gender. Strait is referred to as "The King of Country" and McEntire is called "The Queen of Country." Strait has 57 #1 hits as of 2010, breaking a music record and has sold more than 68.5 million records worldwide. McEntire has sold more than 56 million albums worldwide and the 7th best selling artist of all time.

Reba and Kelly 3

So I finally got to go to the Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson concert and it was totally worth the wait! My friend Jamie that I went with was running a little late. I was worried that we would miss part of the show but luckily I had valet parking passes. This is the first time I ever bought valet parking passes and I couldn't imagine going to another concert without one. I was able to pull right up to the Target Center and they took my car and parked it for me. Jamie and I ran inside grabbed a beer and went to our awesome seats. Barbra Jean from the hit show Reba open the concert with a comedy act for about 45 minutes. She was hilarious I found out she was born and raise in Minnesota. She joked around with the audience and talked about why she is proud to be from Minnesota. Kelly and Reba came out on the stage and for 2 hours sang each others songs together and sang a few on there own. They weren't great performers but both of there voices sounded better than they do on the radio or there Cd's so that made up for it. I got to hear every song I love from the two of them and a few great songs that I have never heard. I could go on forever about the concerts but those were just a few of the highlights of my night. I hope they come back to the Target Center or even the Xcel Energy Center so that I can see them again.

Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson 2

My friend Jamie and I are getting so excited for the concert on Friday it's pretty much all we talk about. So, I figured I would stop bugging my co-workers, friends, and family and blog about it. I have looked at Kelly and Reba's website at least once a day since I got my tickets and they talk about what a success the tour is. They have been selling out shows around the country and had to add more dates. I am already looking forward to more country concerts and there isn't much out there on the Target Center schedule. I will keep looking into it and update you on the shows I find. Luckly, there are still Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson tickets available and they are dropping in price a lot if you want to come join in on the fun! In a little more than 24 hours I will stop bugging people about how I get to go to the concert and I can start bugging people about how much fun it was!

Country concerts coming up!

I am so excited! I just bought my Target Center tickets to see Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson. They are performing at the Target Center on October 24th. I saw them perform together on GAC and it was amazing. They sing each others famous songs together and the songs sound better than when they originally sang them. When I heard they were going on tour together it took me about 2 seconds to realize I needed to go. I will make sure to tell all of you out there how awesome the concert was and I will post some pictures. After buying my Reba and Kelly tickets I thought I would do a little research to see who else is coming to the great state of Minnesota and this is what I have come up with so far.... Martina Mcbride at Treasure Island on Oct. 18th, Loretta Lynn at Mystic Lake Showroom on Oct 25th, Chris Cagle at the Myth on Nov. 14th and Gretchen Wilson at the Myth on Dec. 5th. The best place I have found to buy tickets is through a local ticket company in the cities called Ticket King. There website is ticketkingonline.com. That is who I bought my Reba tickets from and they still have plenty left.
