Cam’s “Burning House” Tour Hits Highline Ballroom in NYC

We saw Cam for the first time in 2014 when she opened for Dan + Shay on their first headlining tour at Highline Ballroom in NYC.  Her set was so much fun (one of our favorite openers ever!) and we knew we’d be hearing much more from her in the future.  Since that show, Cam signed with Sony, released her debut album “Untamed,” and had her first #1 single, “Burning House.”    Cam came full circle last week when she came back to Highline Ballroom on her first headlining tour, the “Burning House” Tour.

Cam played every track from “Untamed” during her set.  The enthusiastic crowd sang along from start to finish.  We love that Cam took the time to introduce every track, telling the crowd anecdotes and the inspiration for writing each song.  She has a knack for storytelling, evident in both her songwriting and her on stage banter.  Every story was heartfelt or hilarious, or a little bit of both.  She reminded us of another blonde country star: Dolly Parton!

Cam had one of the coolest sets we had ever seen, turning the stage into a beautiful house in the woods complete with forest creatures and flashing stars.  It got even cooler when a blacklight made it seem to glow in the dark about halfway through the set.

Cam played some new material during the show, including the head-banging “Man Hunt,” which showed that Cam can totally rock.   She closed her set with the hilarious “Fireball Whiskey,” which Cam had actually pitched to the company.   She said they declined since the track “does not promote responsible drinking.”

The night ended with Cam’s breakout single, “Burning House,” which turned into a very loud singalong.  The “Burning House” Tour runs through December.  Click here for tour dates!  Don’t miss your chance to see this rising star.

Dierks Bentley Announces “What The Hell” Tour With Cole Swindell and Jon Pardi

Dierks Bentley just announced he is heading back out on tour in 2017, and he’s bringing Cole Swindell and Jon Pardi with him!  The “What The Hell” Tour kicks off in January at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.   This lineup sounds like a BLAST!  Cole has always praised Dierks as one of his biggest influences, and the two teamed up for one of the best songs on Cole’s new album.  We hope they’ll play “Flatliner” together on tour!

While the full run of dates are yet to be announced, Dierks did reveal the cities the tour will be hitting.  Sadly, there are no dates in the Northeast to which we say “what the hell?”  But since the tour’s official name is the “What The Hell World Tour,” we hope that more dates are to come!  Be sure to visit Dierks.com for all the info.
