Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley was the hottest country music show in St Paul Minnesota. Who saw the concert live? I loved every second of it!

Miranda Lambert is a four-time Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year. Not to mention she is married to Blake Shelton!

But get this- T-Swift ain’t just going to be there for one night, no she is going to be there two straight nights in a row! That’s right, not only is she performing on June 14th but she is coming back the next night on June 15th for another performance! Talk about an encore!

World's Toughest Rodeo and Randy Houser

Its almost that time of year again when the World's Toughest Rodeo will be back in town!!! The World's Toughest Rodeo will be at The Xcel Energy Center on January 29th and January 30th at 7:30pm. I have been to the World's Toughest Rodeo a couple times and it is so much fun! It is so exciting watching all the cowboys ride cause you never know what is going to happen and all the cowboys are so great at what they do! I also love watching the little monkey ride around on the dog cause it is so cute. To give you an idea of how much fun it is, one year I went I had a temp of 104 the entire time and didn't even realize it until I left cause I was having so much fun cheering on all the cowboys. This is a small slice of heaven for any country boy or girl. It will be even better this year because Randy Houser will be playing after the rodeo. I saw Randy Houser about a year ago at The Cabooze and he is an amazing entertainer. I can't wait to hear his song "Boots On" and "Anything Goes" live again. I also like that you only have to pay one price for both World's Toughest Rodeo tickets and Randy Houser tickets instead of having to pay for them separately. If you love cowboys and country music you definitely don't want to miss out on this red neck event.

Taylor Swift Xcel Energy Center Tickets for May 7, 2010

I need some help from the country fans out there. I really really want to get Taylor Swift tickets for May 7 when she comes to the Xcel Energy Center. I can't find anywhere when the Taylor Swift tickets go on-sale for this concert. I was wondering if anyone knows when the tickets go on-sale. Please leave me a comment and let me know. I missed the last Taylor Swift concert when she performed at the Target Center because the concert sold-out in just a few minutes and I don't want to miss it again. Thank you for any new information :)...... thank you for all the help! I did find some Taylor Swift tickets and I am very excited about it. There are still some Taylor Swift tickets available!

Martina McBride and Trace Adkins Xcel Energy Center tickets

I never pictured the day that Martina McBride and Trace Adkins would be in the same concert together. But, Martina McBride and Trace Adkins will both be performing at the Xcel Energy Center on November 21st. Martina McBride has sang some of my favorite songs including "Independence Day," "Safe in the Arms of Love," "Wild Angels," "Valentine," "Concrete Angel" and of course "A Broken Wing." Every trip I go on with the girls we play "A Broken Wing" as loud as we can and sing at the top of our lungs. Trace Adkins has also sang many great songs including "(This Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing," "Ladies Love Country Boys," "You're Gonna Miss This," "I Left Something Turned On at Home" and "Hot Mama." I think this will be an amazing concert because Martina McBride and Trace Adkins are both amazing country artist but so different. Every country fan will have fun at this concert no matter what kind of country is your favorite. Martina McBride and Trace Adkins tickets will be hard to get because they are only performing a half venue at the Xcel Energy Center. Only half of the Xcel Energy Center seats will be available so that makes it a lot tougher to get Martina Mcbride and Trace Adkins tickets. Luckily I bought mine today but everyone that wants to see this concert should be able to get tickets if they buy them soon. I will be up close to the stage singing "A Broken Wing" on the top of my lungs!

Taylor Swift is coming back to Minnesota to play at the Xcel Energy Center

Taylor Swift just had a sold out concert at the Target Center in Minnesota but I just found out she is coming back to perform at the Xcel Energy Center! On Taylor Swifts website it says that she will be coming to the Xcel Energy Center on May 7, 2010. I was so excited to hear this news because I did not get Taylor Swift tickets to her last sold out show. Everyone that did get Taylor Swift tickets for the show at the Target Center said that it was one of the best concerts they have ever been too! I don't know when they will be selling Taylor Swift tickets for the May 7th performance but once I find out I will let everyone know!....... Update: I found Taylor Swift tickets!!!!!

Rascal Flatts concert in Minnesota at the Xcel Energy Center

Rascal Flatts are coming back to Minnesota and I couldn't be more excited! Rascal Flatts is hands down my favorite country group and I am so excited to get the chance to see them for the third time at the Xcel Energy Center on September 19, 2009. I have been a huge fan of Rascal Flatts since their 1st single "Prayin' For Daylight" was released in 2000. One of the first tattoos I ever got was "God Bless The Broken Road" on the back of my leg because that is such an amazing song sang by an even more amazing band. I can't wait to hear all my favorite songs live again like "While You Loved Me", "I'm Moving On", "Melt", "Feels Like Today", "What Hurts the Most", "Love You Out Loud", "Take Me There", "Every Day", "Bob That Head" and of course their newest hit "Here Comes Goodbye." The first time I saw Rascal Flatts was when I sneaked into the Rascal Flatts concert at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand (which I don't recommend) but I just wanted to see them so badly and the Rascal Flatts tickets were sold out. The second time I saw them was at WeFest (I actually paid for these tickets). Both times I saw them they put on the best country concerts I have ever seen. All the members of the band have great energy and make you feel like you are part of the show no matter where you are sitting. I can not wait to see Rascal Flatts again and this time I will make sure to get Xcel Energy Center tickets before they are sold out!

Country Music News: Gloriana

Over the past few weeks I have fallen in love with a new band named Gloriana. I am addicted to there song that is on the radio called "Wild at Heart." I didn't know much about them so I decided to look them up and this is what I found... The band started with brothers Tom Gossin and Mike Gossin. The brothers moved to Nashville and discovered Rachel Reinert and shortly after that a girl named Cheyenne Kimball came to one of there concert and asked to "jam" with them and she became the 4th member of Gloriana. Gloriana spent months writing songs and playing in front of live audiences before making an album. I haven't heard any of there other songs but if they are as good as "Wild at Heart" I know this CD with be a smash! I can't wait to hear Gloriana when they open for Taylor Swift at the Xcel Energy Center on October 10 along with Kelly Pickler. These Xcel Energy Center tickets haven't gone on sale yet but when they do I will let you know. Please let me know what you think of this new band, Gloriana. :)

Country Concerts in MN: Keith Urban

............................that is me being speechless about the Keith Urban concert at the Xcel Energy Center. He was AMAZING and it was definitely the best concert I have been too! The night started out great because I tricked my friend Jamie earlier in the day and told her we didn't have very good Xcel Energy Center tickets but when we got there I walked her down to our real seats which were 7 rows from the stage. There isn't a whole lot I can say about the Zac Brown Band because I'm not really a huge fan so I didn't really listen to them but they did do a really good job getting the crowd pumped up when they sang "Chicken Fried." Keith Urban put on an amazing show from the second he came up through the floor in a cloud of smoke. Keith Urban sounded better in person then he does on his Cd's or the radio. My favorite song that he sang had to be "Stupid Boy" because I have always loved that song and to see him play the guitar solo in person made me speechless. Keith Urban did a great job at connecting with the audience and even walked across the floor and played a couple songs on the other side of the Xcel so fans that were further away got a chance to see him sing up close. I can't wait until I get a chance to see Keith Urban again because if he is playing anywhere close to Minnesota I would not miss it!

Country Concerts in MN: Exclusive Keith Urban Update

You can't even find this information out on the Keith Urban website but, I found out today when he will becoming to Minnesota. His Escape Together tour will be making a stop at the Xcel Energy Center on May 14th at 7:30. This will be the first time I will see Keith Urban in concert and I can hardly wait and think about how excited I am almost every day :) The only part I am a little sad about is who the opening band is going to be in Minnesota. During his tour he will have amazing opening acts like Taylor Swift, Dierks Bentley, and Lady A. Sadly, when he comes here the opening band is going to be the Zac Brown Band. I do like that band but no where close to as much as I like his other opening acts. As long as I get to see Keith I will be happy! I will update my blog when I figure out how to get tickets :)

Worlds Toughest Cowboy Rodeo

The Worlds Toughest Cowboy Rodeo is coming back to Minnesota and I am so excited to go to the event. Just incase there is one or two of you out there that don't know what the Worlds Toughest Cowboy Rodeo is I will fill you in... Toughest Cowboy is the closest you will get to the real American west. It tests strength, endurance and genuine grit as twelve cowboys compete in three gut-wrenching, roughstock disciplines—bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, and bull riding. These are the only cowboys in the world who dare to ride two broncs and one bull in the same night. It is not for the weak—an iron man competition where only the strongest will endure to be crowned the Toughest Cowboy Champion and walk away with the deed to their own Wyoming Ranch. This is a rodeo event like no other. In addition to the Toughest Cowboy competition, the event features the world’s most-famous cowboy, Whiplash “The Cowboy Monkey”. Whiplash has thrilled fans around the world with his dog-riding cowboy antics. Adding to the night’s entertainment there will wild chuck wagon races and electrifying women’s barrel racing. After the dust settles the party continues with the post-rodeo “Party on the Dirt” concert. This year’s tour includes performances by Nashville’s Music Row 2008 “Breakout Band of the Year” Whiskey Falls and Grammy-nominated songwriter Keith Anderson, who is best know for his hit single “I Still Miss You” and his recent release “Somebody Needs A Hug.” I went to this event two years ago and everything about it is amazing! The cowboys are thrilling to watch, Whiplash is hillarious, and the concert in the dirt is so much fun. It is a huge red neck party that I can't wait to be a part of again. I just purchased my Worlds Toughest Cowboy tickets. The Xcel Energy Center tickets are available for the two nights they will be here which is January 30th and 31st. I hope to see all of you there!
