Gretchen Wilson - August 9, 2008

After the Brandts left on Friday we were feeling a little bored so we decided to head to Wolf Trap which is America's National Park for the Performing Arts. It is a beautiful outdoor theater area which hosts a wide variety of concerts and performances. Check out Wolftrap.com to see what all they have. We happen to arrive on the night Gretchen Wilson was performing. This is one of Cindy's favorite country singers and I must admit this girl can perform! She comes from Pocahontas, IL and sings songs like Red Neck Woman, Here for the Party, Pocahontas, and Homewrecker. We took about a 40 min. Metro ride and then bused for another 15 minutes. It is first come - first serve for finding your place on the "lawn". They do have reserved seating but we heard sitting on the ground and bringing your own lunch and beverage is the way to go. So we picked our spot on the lawn, sat back and enjoyed the evening. The warm up band was a guy by the name of Randy Houser. He is an up and comer in the country music world after only 18 short years writing and performing and currently has a hit single called "Anything Goes"


Just waiting for the fun to begin.
