Country Concert

Jul 3 2008 - 7:30pm

TelluRide-small_0.jpgOpening the concert this year will be Nashville band, TelluRide. Formed just over two years ago, the group has already played more than 300 concerts on the road. TelluRide has achieved national attention in the CMT video contest Music City Madness 2 with its clip of “Phone Song.” The recording of the band’s debut album is nearly complete, but even without a record, TelluRide’s music has been heard on radio stations. And despite its youth, the group has been invited to open shows for top stars such as Diamond Rio, Joe Nichols, Billy Ray Cyrus, Highway 101, LeAnn Rimes, Jo Dee Messina and even REO Speedwagon, Night Ranger and Men at Work. No other country group has risen this far, this quickly.

PG-small_0.jpgHeadlining the concert this year will be Texas native, and BNA Nashville recording artist, Pat Green. Pat Green commands a position in the music world uniquely his own. He sells out stadiums like the Houston Astrodome and Dallas’ Smirnoff Center as well as the Nokia Theater in New York City as a headliner, yet he also gets the opportunity to tour with major artists like Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban and the Dave Matthews Band.

That dichotomy underscores one point: As hugely popular as Pat Green is, as rabid as his loyal fan base is, there’s still an enormous audience getting their first exposure to his one-of-a-kind music and performances. Hits like Wave On Wave, Way Back Texas, Feels Just Like It Should and Dixie Lullaby assure that Pat Green will have a unique impact on the direction of Country music and his high energy live performances prove that Country music has forever changed.
