Doug Stone

Great performer. Engaged well with his audience. Luez Theatre was a great venue. Staff was helpful and friendly. I am looking forward to other performances there.

Really enjoyed his concert ! Seen him at the Pyramid in the 90’s I enjoy that concert also but more interaction with the audience since it was just him ! Over the top I thought , loved it

He was excellent. His sound was richer and he seen more energetic than previous shows. I was very happy to be able to see him again.

The show was excellent! Doug sounded great and his new band in wonderful! I love all the laughter these guys have! Highly recommended!

It was a wonderful show Doug Stone & T Graham Brown are very nice artists I got to meet in person take photos with & got there autographs. This is my 2 time at the venue it was packed, but employees are always direct & nice. I purchased parking but when I got there was informed there are no parking! I had park in the construction site near the trash cans own by the school near by had to walk a long way but me & 20 others got our $5 parking fee back.

Absolutely love it !!! He is amazing musician I have always loved his music .He care about his fans ! Can’t wait to see him again !

It was such a great show!! Doug Stone is such a sweet man! He sang Happy Birthday to me after his show!!! He is still an incredible singer!

Doug Stone is always great. If he is anywhere within a few hours of me, I will be there. Now he has his wife, Jade Jack with him, who is aways great! And their little 6 year old daughter, Bristol is now getting on stage with them. They also have added a new addition, Baili, Doug's other daughter. What a talented young lady she is. The entire family is great and I always enjoy them very much. The amphitheater was nice. I'm so glad the rain stopped before the concert. It was a wonderful concert.

Doug Stone/T Graham Brown: 8/20/22 “It was my first time at Innovation Amphitheater, an outdoor venue in Winder GA with tiered seating, each flat grassy row separated from another by stone retaining walls ascending/descending in order. The open air stage featured a pond as a backdrop in the distance, capacity 1,500. It was also my first time seeing Doug Stone and my second time seeing T Graham Brown, the first being just last year. The stage was set for a 90’s and 80’s ‘country at its best’ experience respectively. Doug 66, a neotraditionalist (charting 18 singles within the years of 1990-95) had begun his career at a very early age opening for Loretta Lynn at just 7 years old. T Graham 67, (Bluesy Country) had also enjoyed a large degree of success during the 80’s. Both are Georgia natives making the show all the more notable. The weather with forecasted thunderstorms and lightning to be seen in the distance held out the entire event. T, a supporter of the Kentucky flood relief efforts went on first wearing a blue ‘Come Hell Or High Water’ KY T-shirt designed after his song of the same title, bright red boat shoes with white laces and jet black sunglasses. He carried around a black towel hanging from a pocket by which he continuously wiped the sweat away from his face and bright white head of hair. ‘This would’ve been a number one song back when my hair was brown’ he commented prior to the 1988 ‘Darlene’. T proudly stated (one foot comfortably resting on a monitor up front), ‘I came along at a time where I got to work with the “one name people”, Wille, Waylon, Merle, Kenny & Dolly, Loretta & Conway, George & Tammy. It’s an era that’ll never be repeated.’ ‘We get to do what we want to do, nobody tells us what to do, I get to make the kind of records I want to make!’ The 5 man ’T Graham Band’ was a strong force, highlighted by the ‘Pastor’ Tim Coleman on alto and tenor sax so named because of his pre-show prayers. Graham’s voice is still very strong and the one hour performance featured all the radio hits! T frequently referred to the local GA haunts and even spotted a high school friend in the crowd recalling stories of time past. He had spent the day visiting family at their 7 acre farm in Commerce GA and explained that the lyrics of his song ‘RFD 3509’ were the actual directions to his parents home. After a brief stage turn, Doug and family came for an hour and a half set beginning with two songs sung by his third wife, the attractive and much younger Jade Jack who is also the fiddle player in the band. Jade introduced their one daughter together the six year old Bristol who had been practicing her rendition of ‘Heads Carolina, Tails California’ all week long. The 6 piece ’Stone Age Band’ also featured Doug’s daughter Baili on back-up vocals who sang lead on Dixie Chick’s ‘Cowboy Take Me Away’, it was a strong vocal performance, a highlight of the evening! He called the collaboration his of ‘Family Opry’. Doug addressed the crowd, ‘Thanks y’all to come out tonight and thank God for a no rain’ then slowed the pace down to a more traditional/ballad styled evening of hits. ‘They used to call me “the romantic balladeer” in Nashville so I guess that’s what I is… I love doin’ those ballards.’ He introduced the number one ‘In A Different Light’ as his own personal favorite, while ‘Addicted To The Dollar (that ain’t worth a dime)’ he sent out to Joe Biden. A rousing rendition of ‘Better Off’ In A Pine Box concluded the evening. The two both had stories to tell some new and many of days gone by. Doug overcoming both heart attack and stroke, numerous accidents, multiple divorces, and in addition the challenges of becoming both smoke and alcohol free. However, the most compelling of the evening was Brown’s introduction to ‘Water To Wine’ and his personal battle of overcoming alcohol addiction. My highlight was taking a bit with T after the set about my own sobriety and ventures in the South. We joked about Walhalla SC where I had seen him last, and noted how the so called glam of living the rough life in today’s wave of country music in reality is both deceiving and short lived. I also got stuck driving behind his self-monogramed ‘Hill Billy Iced Tea’’ tour bus from the venue all the way to the highway entrance which was kind of cool. This was one of those shows which would have been a rarity up North. I couldn’t help but become a bit sentimental mid-show when noticing two American flagw flying proud stage left and right. It’s been four years and counting here in South Carolina and I’m still super-excited regarding the multiplicity of venues and genres out this way. Folks, these two don’t just sing about it, they’ve lived it. This is what make seeing artists such as these worth the price of admission when they pass through your neck of the woods.” by DAve (Concerts #690, 691)

My wife and I had an awesome time!!!! The food was great, and Doug was awesome. The event was for a great cause as well!!!

Awesome show in a beautiful setting! We all enjoyed the evening. So happy to finally get a chance to see one of our favorites.

Love Doug Stone's music, but whether it's from his bouts with COVID or something else, his voice is just not the same ☹️. He does a great job of interacting with the crowd & still does a meet & greet after the show that most artists no longer do.

Doug was GREAT as always! Doug is always a great singer and so thoughtful of his fans. He stays and signs autographs, makes pictures and shakes hands with his fans for as long as they are there. He is such a great persona and I ALWAYS enjoy his shows!

I really enjoyed the Doug Stone concert. It was wonderful to hear the songs that I grew up listening to. I loved them then and I still do.

First time seeing Doug Stone, found out about him from the #JustinMoorePodcast, enjoyed the show, very entertaining. Also first time at the Grand Opera House of the South, very impressed with the venue, very nice and intimate venue

The Doug Stone show at the Wildstein Center for the Performing Arts was GREAT! The excellent facility, and a hits driven setlist made for an entertaining afternoon. Although the atmosphere was considerably different than most concerts due to the midday timeframe and the advanced age of the audience; they were nonetheless appreciative and courteous. If you have the opportunity to see Doug Stone, don't pass it up!

Doug was great as always. The ballroom was a very nice place and everyone seemed to be having a great time. I will go to see Doug anytime I get a chance. He is still exceptional! His wife Jade Jack also performed in this show. She is also terrific. I just love hearing her sing. Great show!

We enjoyed it. Doug was great and can still belt out a tune. He was very gracious and signed autographs. Thanks Doug.

The singing was great as usual by Doug. This is not the first time we have been to see him and if he comes back close enough we will go again but not at putters & gutters. This was billed as a concert not a dance. They also did not advise to bring a chair to set in and all they had were chairs so low to the floor it is hard to get out of. From where we were you could not see Doug because their so call $5000.00 tables were between us and Doug and if that was not bad enough the dance floor was in fro nt of him also. So all we could do is set there and listen and not see. I have all ways though a concert was go set look and listen. If this had been billed as a dance we probably would not have gone even though we both love Dougs songs and his singing. So we did like at least getting to see and getting to meet Doug again. Belive it or not he remembered bot us from an earler REAL concert, not a dance. I only gave this a three because it not being billed as a dance NOT a concert.

He was amazing. He still sounds great an a very outgoing guy..very polite an I'd watch him again anytime he comes close by.
