Carrie Underwood Performing at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand!

I found out this morning that Carrie Underwood will be performing at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand this year thanks to my friend/fellow country girl Jamie! Last week I was thinking about how I would LOVE to see Carrie Underwood in concert. I checked her website and was not able to find any Minnesota dates. So, I was so excited this morning when I got the text that Carrie Underwood would be coming to the Minnesota State Fair! I have loved Carrie Underwood since I first saw her on American Idol and have been a huge fan ever since. I love all of her songs but my favorites would have to be: "Jesus, Take the Wheel," "Don't Forget to Remember Me," "Before He Cheats," "All-American Girl," "So Small," "Just a Dream," "Last Name," "I Told You So," "Cowboy Casanova" and "Temporary Home." Carrie Underwood's newest album Play On debuted at #1 on the music charts. Carrie Underwood tickets go on-sale on Saturday May 8th. Carrie Underwood tickets will sell-out very fast so I will keep everyone updated on where you can get tickets and when!....UPDATE!!! Carrie Underwood tickets are now available to be purchased!!!

Zac Brown Band Concert in Minnesota

I was so excited to find out that Zac Brown Band will be coming back to Minnesota! Zac Brown Band will be performing at Mystic Lake on June 20, 2010. I am a huge fan of the Zac Brown Band! The last time I saw them in concert is when they opened for Keith Urban at the Xcel Energy Center. Zac Brown Band are such great performers and have so much energy any time they play live. I am completely in love with their newest single "Highway 20 Ride." Other songs of theirs I am excited to hear are "Chicken Fried," "Whatever It Is," "Toes" and their rendition of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." If you haven't had a chance to see Zac Brown Band in concert yet I highly suggest you get tickets for this concert because you will not be disappointed! There are still Zac Brown Band tickets available but I wouldn't wait to long to get your tickets.

"Highway 20 Ride"
I ride east every other Friday but if i had it my way
The day would not be wasted on this drive
And i want so bad to hold you
Son there's things I haven't told you
Your mom and me couldn't get along

So i'll drive
And I think about my life
And wonder why, That I slowly die inside
Everytime I turn that truck around, right at the Georgia line and i count the days and the miles back home to you on that Highway 20 ride

A day might come and you'll realize that if you could see through my eyes
There was no other way to work it out
And a part of you might hate me
But son please don't mistake me For a man that didnt care at all

And i'll drive
And I'll think about my life
And wonder why, That I slowly die inside
Everytime I turn that truck around, right at the Georgia line and i count the days and the miles back home to you on that Highway 20 ride

So when you drive
And the years go flying by
I hope you smile
If i ever cross your mind
It was a pleasure of my life
And i cherished every time
And my whole world
It begins and ends with you
On that Highway 20 ride....

Toby Keith Coming to Minnesota!

I was searching for country artist that will be performing in Minnesota sometime soon and I was extremely surprised when I saw that Toby Keith will be coming to Minnesota this summer! I have not always been the biggest Toby Keith fan and there was a point in time when I couldn't even stand listening to his music. I got really upset when he started a huge public fight with the Dixie Chicks because they didn't have the same opinion about George Bush. I loved the Dixie Chicks and because of Toby Keith's actions/hatred towards them a lot of people turned against the Dixie Chicks and the pretty much had to disappear for many years. But, in the last few years Toby Keith has won me over with his great music. Some of my favorite Toby Keith songs are: "American Ride," "God Love Her," "She Never Cried in Front of Me," "Love Me if You Can," "Whiskey Girl," "American Soldier" and his newest song "Cryin' for Me (Wayman's Song)." I am very excited that I will finally be able to see Toby Keith perform all of these songs and many more live in concert. The venue or when Toby Keith tickets go on-sale hasn't been released yet but I do know that Toby Keith will be performing in Minnesota on July 16, 2010. Many other Toby Keith tickets are available for purchase right now and I will let you know when Toby Keith tickets will go on-sale for Minnesota!

"Cryin' for Me (Wayman's Song)"
“Sorry you missed me
I’ll get back with you as soon as I can
Thank you and god bless”

Got the news on Friday mornin’
But a tear I couldn’t find
You showed me how I’m supposed to live
And now you showed me how to die
I was lost till Sunday mornin’
I woke up to face my fear
While I’m writing you this goodbye song
I found a tear

I’m gonna miss that smile
I’m gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I’d do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
‘Cause that’s right where you wanna be
I’m not crying 'cause I feel so sorry for you
I’m crying for me

I got up and dialed your number
And your voice came on the line
That old familiar message
I heard a thousand times it just said
Sorry that I missed you
Leave a message and god bless
I know you think I’m crazy
But I had to hear your voice again

I’m gonna miss that smile
I’m gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I’d do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
‘Cause that’s right where you wanna be
I’m not crying 'cause I feel so sorry for you
I’m crying for me

So play your upside-down, left handed
Backwards bass guitar
And I’ll see you on the other side
Superstar

I’m gonna miss that smile
I’m gonna miss you my friend
Even though it hurts the way it ended up
I’d do it all again
So play it sweet in heaven
‘Cause that’s right where you wanna be
I’m not crying 'cause I feel so sorry for you
I’m crying for me

I’m still crying
I’m crying for me
I’m still crying
