Train In Concert - Pat Monahan - Nashville, TN
Sunday August 5th was a wet dreary day in Nashville, TN, but it didn’t stop the SRO 5,000 plus Train fans to attend the Train concert at the uncovered amphitheater, The Woods at Fontanel. The rain stopped before the crowds appeared at the venue and it looked to be a beautiful night for a concert. Unfortunately the weather forecasted a major storm heading for Nashville, which cut the entire night short for all three acts on this bill. However, Brian Hasbrook was on hand to take the concert photos of Train before the venue shut down the show… ENJOY!

I love music – particularly live music. So much so that I would go see just about any band, of any genre, if given the opportunity. So, when my wife’s cousin and journalism student at Lipscomb University, Cory Woodroof, invited me to this weekend’s 3 Doors Down concert at The Woods at Fontanel – I jumped at the chance.

ZZ Top In Concert - Nashville, TN - Dusty Hill and Billy Gibbons
Written by James Downing
When I was 15 years old my dad got me a job riding in an 18 wheeler on a route with a guy and helping him unload boxes at each of his stops in Tennessee and Kentucky. One thing made me excited about this job was that the truck driver had 2 boxes of eight track tapes that he carried with him on his route each day. I could not wait to see what he had in the box. The first morning of the job I asked if I could look at his tapes. When I opened the first box he reached over and pulled out a tape and said something like “Let’s go down to Texas.” I told him I had better call my parents if we were going to Texas because they just thought that we were going to Kentucky. He laughed and said “No man, this is ‘That Little Ole Band From Texas’ ZZ Top, you ever heard them?” I told him no as he pushed the tape into the player and the first song that played was “Just Got Paid” I was a fan after that first song. After that day I listened to the local FM station and heard a lot of songs by ZZ Top and found out they were very popular. I went to several of their shows and loved their music more with each album.
