Studio TD<\/a>. It was part of his\u00a0\u201cComing Soon To A Honky Tonk Near You\u201d tour. Montreal hosts the annual Lasso Festival every August, and Jade Eagleson has been part of that a few times.<\/p>\nOne could almost feel the summer heat coming while he was on stage. Toques, mittens and snow pants? Not on this night. Jeans, vests and cowboy hats were the fashion choice of the fans. They packed the concert hall, definitely arriving in their rodeo finest.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Opening the show was young sensation Sully Burrows. Armed only with his acoustic guitar, Sully took the stage and immediately claimed it as his own. He opened with \u201cSomewhere In A Small Town,\u201d which got a great reaction. The earnestness of\u00a0 \u201cYouth\u201d really pulled in the crowd. Sully Burrows definitely made the most of the short amount of time that he had. He left the crown thirsty for more.<\/p>\n
This tour features several special guest and this night was no different. The second slot on the night belonged to Montreal\u2019s resident Country Queen, Brittany Kennell. My kids know her best as the sometimes national anthem singer for the Montreal Canadiens. When they get older, perhaps they\u2019ll dig through dad\u2019s music collection and discover her albums. They\u2019re all full of great songs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She gave us a mix of both old and new, beginning with her latest single, \u201cLife\u2019s Waiting On Me.\u201d All of the songs got a great reaction from the hometown crowd. Old favourites \u201cEat Drink Remarry\u201d and \u201cBought The T-Shirt\u201d are still great fun to hear live. Guitarist Antoine Loiselle was his usual awesome self, which always adds to the greatness of Brittany\u2019s shows. Brittany Kennell still stood tall. Even when, accidentally, the power to her amps was cut off. Triumphantly strumming her guitar until the technical problems were fixed. It was a great performance indeed.<\/p>\n
Up next was our headliner, Jade Eagleson, who was already all smiles.\u00a0 This was before even the first note was played.\u00a0 The Celine Dion t-shirt he was wearing might have been chosen in order to win over some of the crowd, but it wasn\u2019t necessary. This honky tonk was already hooting and hollering in anticipation of his arrival.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He opened with \u201cComing Soon To A Honky Tonk Near You,\u201d and the fans were all in excitement for this new song. The party continued with \u201cDo It Anyway\u201d from the album of the same name. It won him a CCMA Country Music \u201cAlbum of the Year\u201d award. This one really got the crowd roaring, and I saw a cowboy hat or two waved along to the groove. Opening act Sully Burrows returned to the stage to lend his vocals to \u201cMore Drinkin\u2019 Than Fishin\u2019.\u201d Many of the locals lent their voices to the song as well. This left the Studio TD rockin\u2019 and rollin\u2019 like the Boar\u2019s Nest back in Hazzard County.<\/p>\n
Completing the good time was \u201cWorth The Double,\u201d \u201cRodeo Queen,\u201d and \u201cGet Your Name On It.\u201d After the encore, the damsels and gentlemen made their way to the stables for the horse ride home. This was one of the final shows of the tour, but Jade Eagleson will certainly be back on the road again soon for a grand ole time that you should not miss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
