First Stadium Gig (20,000+)

Sign in to disble this ad
Well yesterday I played my first Stadium gig. Got hired to play a show at Oklahoma State University called Orange Peel. It was Alan Jackson, Bill Engval ( the commedian from blue colar comedy tour ) and The Hero Factor who I performed with. I've gotta say playing infront of 20,000ish is quite a rush. Anyways wanted to post some pics for you guys.

yeah I tossed in the occasional "sassyness" it was a good time. Must say to be honest I never really cared to "make it big". I just want to be able to support my family and make a living with just music. However after that show, it made me rethink my goals slightly heh.

Thanks so much, wish I could take more credit for the creative part but I was just hired to fill in. They are all great guys though so deffinitly check them out. I went on a tour with them a year ago and they are a class act to say the least.
