27 year old Chris Young sounds like he's been performing for decades. Winner of the TV talent show "Nashville" in 2006, Chris Young rocked the rodeo at the Colorado State Fair. His fiesty brand of country and playing all the fan favorites was the perfect formula to fuel the audience who sang along and lifted their beers toward the night sky. Young is a born performer and his smooth, sexy sound was just right for a warm August night.
His set started with the mighty foot stomper "Save Water, Drink Beer" and that song set the tone for a high-octane set. It really got the crowd jammin' to his music. While "Tomorrow" was a quieter more intimate number, his down-home songs “When She's On”, "You", "Who's Gonna Take Me Home", and "The Dashboard" endeared him to the crowd. Chris Young's fourth chart single, "Gettin' You Home (The Black Dress Song)", became his first number 1 single and when he performs it live he has the uncanny ability to make you believe every word. I have to admit that after this show, "Gettin' You Home" gives a whole new appreciation to the little black dress hanging in my closet!

Chris was a very lively person and engaged the audience into the show. He had no problem keeping everyone entertained and wanting more. Telling stories to the crowd seem to excite everyone and there were times I could barely hear over the cheers. He thanked the military as he sung "The Dashboard" and thanked the fans saying the audience is the reason he and his band are on the road. Fans just couldn't get enough of him. He is a true performer - giving the audience their money's worth and what they came for. Chris is a young man who will go far in the country music industry. Young's strong voice is smooth, gritty and very sexy as is he, which makes it easy to see why Taste of Country names Chris Young as one of the 10 sexiest Male country stars of 2012
Everyone should have the pleasure of hearing him.This was a great concert that offered everything the fans could want and more. I strongly suggest that the next time Chris Young rolls through town, you purchase tickets fast because his shows are sure to sell out.
