Zac Brown Band Northrop Auditorium tickets in Minnesota

I saw the Zac Brown Band when they opened for Keith Urban at the Xcel Energy Center a few months ago. The Zac Brown Band is a very fun country group to watch and since opening for Keith Urban they have released more hit singles. Now the Zac Brown band is headlining there own tour called, The Breaking Southern Ground Tour: Zac Brown Band with Special Guests. Zac Brown Band will be making a stop at the Northrup Auditorium in Minnesota on December 5, 2009. The Zac Brown Band has only been around for a little over a year but they have become very popular. The three singles they have released "Chicken Fried," "Whatever It Is" and "Toes" have all reached at least #2 on the country charts. Before becoming famous the Zac Brown Band played live all around the country so they know how to put on a good show. I can't wait to get my Zac Brown Band tickets to see them again. I have never purchased Northrop Auditorium tickets and have not seen a concert there so I am excited to see what this venue is like!

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!!!!!

My Amazing Minnesota Wild Tickets

I know I have mentioned before that my second true love in life, right behind country music, is sports. I didn't mention that my favorite sport by far is hockey. I played hockey all throughout elementary, middle and high school. A lot of my happiest memories were made while play or watching hockey. Since I can remember the North Stars have been my favorite hockey team even though they were sold to Dallas. But, over the past few years the Minnesota Wild hockey team has become my new favorite hockey team. I have fallen in love with the organization and the players specially Mikko Koivu! Yesterday I decided to treat myself to a Minnesota Wild hockey game since it had been a stressful week. Little did I know that I was going to end up with the BEST Minnesota Wild tickets. My Minnesota Wild hockey tickets were right behind the Minnesota Wild penalty box, where I spent a lot of time when I played hockey, and I was so close to a lot of the Minnesota Wild players. If the stupid glass wasn't in the way I would have been able to touch the Wild players I was so close. The Minnesota Wild ended up winning 4-3 in overtime against the Anaheim Ducks. It was an amazing time being that close to the action and it was such an exciting game to watch! If you are ever stressed or just looking for a fun evening I suggest going to a Minnesota Wild game because it was the perfect thing to cheer me up!.....
These are the pictures I took from my seat

Rascal Flatts new single "Why" off of their Unstoppable CD

As I have mentioned multiple times Rascal Flatts is by far my favorite country band. They have sang songs about love, friendship, good times, many types of heartbreak and even about a girl with cancer. I have absolutely loved every song they have released no matter what it is about until I heard their latest single "Why." If you haven't heard it yet "Why" is a slow song about a 17 year old that committed suicide. The main line in the song is "Oh God only knows what went wrong and why you would leave the stage in the middle of a song." I know a lot of people have been affected by suicide including the members of Rascal Flatts because Jay and Gary's Uncle killed himself and Joe Don had a friend in high school that killed himself. But, there is just something about this song that makes me feel really uncomfortable and its a type of song I never expected to hear from Rascal Flatts. The members of Rascal Flatts have said that they have released this song to help people realize that there is other options besides suicide but I just can't see this as a song that should be playing on K102 or other country stations. I might be completely wrong about this one but let me know what you think.

Why lyrics:

You must have been in a place so dark
You couldn't feel the light
Reaching for you through that stormy cloud
Now here we are gathered in our little home town
This cant be the way you meant to draw a crowd

Oh why, thats what Im asking
Was there anything i could have said or done
Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul
God only knows what went wrong and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song

Now in my mind i'll keep you frozen as a 17 year old
Rounding third to score the winning run
You always played with passion no matter what the game
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun

Oh why thats what I keep asking
Was there anything I could have said or done
Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul
Oh God only knows what went wrong and why you would leave the stage in the middle of a song

Now the oak trees a swaying in the early autumn breeze
The golden sun is shining on my face
Tangled thoughts i hear the mocking bird sing this old world really aint that bad a place

Oh I theres no comprehending and who am i to try judge or explain
But I do have one burning question
Who told you life wasnt worth the fight
They were wrong
They lied
Now your gone and we cry
Its just not like you to walk away in the middle of a song
Your beautiful song
Your absolutely beautiful song

Luke Bryan Concert in Minnesota

Luke Bryan is coming to Minnesota on October 14th and will be playing at the Fine Line Music Café. Luke Bryan hasn’t been around very long but I still really like the songs he has released so far. Luke Bryan released his first single in 2007 off of his I’ll Stay Me album. The single “All My Friends Say” was by far one of my favorite country songs of 2007 and 2008. Luke Bryan also released “We Rode in Trucks” and “Country Man” off of that same album. I wasn’t a huge fan of “We Rode in Trucks” but “Country Man” was another one of my favorite songs of the year. I would have to say that my favorite Luke Bryan song is “Do I” which was released earlier this year. I am always a sucker for heartbreaking slow country songs and "Do I" is one of the best I have heard in awhile. Luke Bryan has a great voice and fun songs to sing along with and I can’t wait to hear him live at the Fine Line Music Café. I have learned my lesson about waiting to buy country concert tickets (when I found out I couldn't get a Rascal Flatts ticket) so I am definitely not going to wait to buy my Luke Bryan at the Fine Line Music Cafe tickets.

Taylor Swift at the Target Center tickets

Taylor Swift has been everywhere you look lately whether its in the news because of the Kanye West situation, on the American Country Music Awards singing with Brooks and Dunn or on every radio station hearing all of her great songs. Minnesota Taylor Swift fans are extremely lucky because we get the chance to hear her perform live during the height of her fame. Taylor Swift will be coming to the Target Center on October 11th at 7:30 pm. Taylor Swift will be coming with two other great acts Kellie Pickler and Gloriana. Taylor Swift tickets are extremely hard to come by because of her hugely successful albums and because of all the fame she has acquired from both country and pop fans. I have searched the internet and found the best Taylor Swift tickets. It seems that Ticket King has the best Taylor Swift tickets
available. They are pretty expensive but I know there aren't many left and the prices won't be dropping so I am buying tickets right away. All of Taylor Swifts concerts have sold out in less than 5 mins so if you are lucky enough to find tickets I suggest you purchase them right away too.

The Minnesota Golden Gophers football team at the TCF Bank Stadium

My number one true love is and will always be country music! There is nothing else on this earth that can make me happy, sad, excited and many other things with in just a few minutes. But, I figured I could share my second love with everyone which is sports. My dad is a gym teacher and self proclaimed "Minnesota's biggest sports fan" so I grew up watching ESPN every night. I love all of Minnesota's professional teams like the MN Vikings, MN Twins, MN Wild and yes even the MN Thunder. I love watching all those teams but I have always enjoyed watching Minnesota college teams better. With the professional teams you are never quit sure if the players are there because they love the game or because of the money and fame. With college players you can see that they are playing for the love of the game because they give everything they have throughout the whole game. I got a chance to expeirence this live when I went to the Minnesota Gophers vs Air Force football game last weekend. It was the first game the Minnesota Gophers played at the new TCF Bank Stadium and I couldn't imagine a better stadium. The Minnesota Gophers use to play at the Metrodome which is also a nice facility but never seemed like the right venue for a college football team. The TCF Bank stadium has a great college atmosphere. The University of Minnesota Marching band sounded amazing and you could hear them no matter where you sat in the TCF Bank Stadium because every seat is great there. It was also great to finally be able to watch the Minnesota Gopher football team play outside on a beautiful September day. Everything about the TCF Bank stadium is great and I can't wait to go back for another game. The Gophers won thier first game so TCF Bank Stadium tickets will be even harder to get now then they were before. I am planning on purchasing as many Minnesota Gopher football tickets as I can before they are all sold out.

Montgomery Gentry Concert in Minnesota at Treasure Island Casino

Montgomery Gentry has been one of my favorite bands for many years and I will finally get a chance to see them in concert! Montgomery Gentry will be in Minnesota September 18th at the Treasure Island Casino. Montgomery Gentry has come out with many hit singles since they first got together in the early 90's. A few of my favorite Montgomery Gentry songs are "My Town", "Speed", "Hell Yeah", "If You Ever Stop Loving Me", "Gone", "She Don't Tell Me To", "Roll With Me" and their newest singles "One In Every Crowd." I have heard/read nothing but great things about Montgomery Gentry concerts and I can't wait to get the chance to experience one myself. Montgomery Gentry concerts usually sell out pretty fast so I hope I am still able to get Montgomery Gentry tickets since I just found out about the concert!

Rascal Flatts Songs and Rascal Flatts Concert in MN

I was just thinking about how the Rascal Flatts concert is just a few weeks away and it got me thinking about all my favorite Rascal Flatts songs. Of course I love their major hits like "This Everyday Love," "I'm Moving On," "Love You Out Loud," "I Melt," "Feels Like Today," "Skin," "What Hurts the Most," "Me and My Gang," "Take Me There," "Everyday," "Bob That Head" and "Here Comes Goodbye." My favorite Rascal Flatts song is called "She Goes All The Way" which most people have probably never heard. It's another amazing Rascal Flatt ballad that features Jamie Foxx. If you are a huge Rascal Flatts fan I highly suggest you download this song and listen too it. If you are like me you will fall in love with it right away and listen to it over and over again. I don't think they will but I hope Rascal Flatts plays this song in concert. The Rascal Flatts concert is on September 19th at the Xcel Energy Center. There are very few Rascal Flatts tickets left but I know there are still some out there. I can't wait to see them again live in concert and hear all my favorite songs!
