Last night Michelle and I stopped down by Hazel Ruby McQuain Park for the WKKW sponsored event. It's a part of Mountainfest and we just drove down by with a curiosity last night and left very encouraged.
Opening up was what we thought was a DJ playing Music, then as we got closer we realized it was an artist named Alli Gillis and we thought she was electric. Pay close attention to this name or at least remember it. She's a 16 year old girl with a High School band behind her who will just knock your socks off. During the past five years, Alli has opened for Craig Morgan, LeeAnn Womack, Chris Cagle, John Michael Montgomery, Trick Pony, Joe Diffi, Mark Chesnutt, Miranda Lambert, Travis Tritt, Charlie Daniels, Jason Aldean, Blake Sheldon, and Diamond Rio.She also had the honor of performing for the President during the 2004 election. Pretty impressive and not your average High School Student.
Monster Vocals, great stage presence, and really is just full of energy. I'll say she'll be a major headliner someday. You can catch her again today at Mountainfest. Five years from now you can say you've seen her.
The night closed with local recording artists the Davisson Brothers Band closing the show in a fashion that only they can. First time I have seen them in years and you can see why their just rising up on the national scene. A band who loves to play and perform and it shows.
Today Mountainfest will move to Mylan Park. Local favorites and occupiers of my space on my ipod The Hillbilly Gypsies and Floyd Cowger will be performing as well as future holder of space on my iPod Mahlon Kisner. Kansas will be headlining tonight.
Enjoy a great day of music if you can.
