Carly Pearce

This was a delightful event, and a very special night of entertainment for the whole crowd. Foremost, there was an unexpectedly large pair of high-quality video monitors on each side of the stage, which made every seat a rewarding place from which to enjoy the big concert. Country superstar Carly Pearce was the headliner, and her opening act was the charming and talented Emily Ann Roberts. After Emily's fun, lively set, Carly's virtuoso band surrounded an excitingly illuminated stage and (almost Mesoamerican-looking) pyramid, from whose peak, Carly arose, as her anthemic song "Diamondback" played. So unexpectedly exciting for everyone in the stands! Carly and her band delivered all the hits, and a few album favorites which allowed all the strong, individually-talented musicians to have a moment to shine. Both ladies sang their hearts out; played marvelous rhythm guitar, and were a complete joy. The large audience was thrilled, and full of appreciation for the great night of music being shared. Carly connected with the audience in a special way, and was extremely kind with several young fans who clearly idolized her, and were very anxious to make a personal connection. Carly could not have been sweeter, or more humble in response, and I recognized her character, and her conduct delightfully supported the heart, and sincerity found in so many of her songs. Both ladies are talented, hard-working artists, who deserve our support of their recordings and tours. A memorable night!
