Outdoor Concerts Rock in any Genre

I love summer and I love it for many reasons from camping and hiking to cookouts and swimming. However, the main reason I look forward to summer is outdoor concerts. Outdoor concerts rock in any genre from oldies and gospel to rock and country. Each spring I start looking for the fairs and festivals near me that I can attend.

We have attended concerts at fairs and/or festivals to see Chubby Checker twice, Mike Albert ( Elvis impersonator), Tracey Lawrence, Joana Lee White, Bucky Covington twice last summer once this summer with another coming up July 31st and we are also going to see Luke Bryan, Sammy Kershaw and Tracy Byrd this August.

I love the outdoor concert experience. Nothing is more enjoyable then sitting outside in a lawn chair or on a blanket under the setting sun or under the stars and listening to some great music. Of course getting up to dance along is also great fun.

My first concert was Mike Albert. He may be an Elvis impersonator but he is a great talent and the concert was a lot of fun. Our next concert was Chubby Checker, the man who made dancing apart famous with the song The Twist. Chubby is still able to attract a huge crowd and keep them entertained and on their feet.

It is great to be outside in the fresh air and have some leg room and plenty of room to get up and dance if you choose. I also think the acoustics are better outside than in any building.

Last year I started becoming a fan of Country music star Bucky Covington, immediately I started looking for festivals and fairs he might be at. We saw him at the Ross County fair in Chillicothe Ohio, a storm came through and the concert had to be canceled but Bucky the real trooper that he is came into the bleachers and sang acoustic for the fans who weathered the storm to just catch a glimpse of him. Even with getting soaked and hiding in the grandstand through thunder and lightning that experience is one I will always remember as one of my best concert experiences. Weather did not stop devoted fans from waiting around to see if they would get to hear Bucky or at least get a autograph and it did not stop Bucky Covington from making it a point to see to it that the concert goers got to hear him perform as they had hoped for.

We then went to Dayton Ohio and saw Bucky again at the Mountain Days festival. It was a beautiful and sunny day. Mountain Days is held at Eastland Lake Park. The park is beautiful and in the middle of the woods. We got there and there were hay bales set up all around for people to sit on to enjoy the concert or you could bring your own lawn chair. There was cold pop and beer for sale and hot buttered corn on the cob. Nothing says country more than sitting on a hay bale in the woods drinking a beer and eating corn on the cob while listening to some great country/rock music.

This year I have started my concert going already. Of course Bucky Covington was our first concert this year. We went to the Festival of the Bells in Hillsboro Ohio for this concert. It was another perfect day for a outdoor concert being that it was Bucky Covington was a great plus. I cannot wait to enjoy the other outdoor concerts this summer.
