106.1 The Twister put together a great event to help raise food for the hungry here in Tulsa. It was a free concert on December 1st by Dylan Scott, Love and Theft, Cam, and Scotty McCreery. All that was required was to donate food for a four pack of tickets. The Bands Against Hunger event proved to be an incredible success with 6000+ items of food donated. The show was at the Riverbend Arena in Inola. Each artist took the stage separately and first on stage was Dylan Scott.
On a fairly cold night what better way is there to get warm then dancing to great music? Scott got the evening rolling with such songs as "Lay It On Me", "Ballcap", "Makin' This Boy Go Crazy", and current chart climbing single "Crazy Over Me". The show was in an acoustic setting, but that did not stop Scott from giving it his all. Effectively making me wonder what he's like when it's a full show. The next to hit the stage was Cam.
After meeting Dylan Scott and Love and Theft I was able to catch Cam singing her current single "Burning House." She is actually going to be touring with Eric Paslay on the winter leg of Brad Paisley's Crushin' It world tour. If her energy level in an acoustic setting of her current chart climber is any indication, I'd try to catch one of those shows. After Cam was the country duo Love and Theft.
As always this duo sounded incredible. Their harmonies are best described as unbelievable. They played older hits like the well known song "Angel Eyes" as well as things from the new album including current single "Whiskey On My Breath." They kept the crowd sing with songs "Runaway" and "Runnin' Outta Air." After dancing to "Lets Get Drunk and Make Friends" the crowd was plenty warmed up and ready for final act Scotty McCreery.
This was my first time seeing Scotty McCreery live and wow! He didn't let the cold bother him and yes you can see his breath in the above photo. It was that cold, but McCreery wouldn't be stopped. He was all over the stage engaging the audience. He captured the audience singing a variety of things from his first single "I Love You This Big" to his newest single "Southern Belle". Not to mention an outstanding cover of George Strait’s Christmas song "Christmas Cookies." You could tell it was Christmas time cause Jack Frost was nipping at our toes, but it was a great cause with great music.
