Cole Swindell Played To A Near Sell Out Crowd In Tuscaloosa

It's amazing how country fans are supporting live music lately by helping artists like Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan sell out venues and Cole Swindell fans are no different!

Adam Craig Band opened the show Thursday (04/17) night at The Jupiter with a slew of originals, a few he's had recorded by Jason Aldean ('Church Pew or Bar Stool') and Parmalee ('Close Your Eyes') and even had the crowd singing their latest release 'Little Bit More of You.'

When 10:45pm rolled around, the placed was packed with over 800 anxious fans, drinks in their hands, just waiting for a glimpse of the headliner. When I took to the stage with a co-worker, they erupted! We had a few 95.3 The Bear t-shirts to pass out then got them pumped up with a little "Roll Tide!" After the announcement, I left the stage as Swindell's intro music played, pumping bass through The Jupiter sound system, rattling the walls. When the hit maker stepped onto the stage and out from behind the lights the crowd erupted!

The party was on in T-town as Swindell rocked the crowd with song's he's had recorded by Craig Campbell ('Outta My Head') and Scotty McCreery ('Water Tower Town') among others and of course his latest release 'Hope You Get Lonely Tonight'. It wasn't until the end when he left the stage that the crowd grew even wilder because they knew he had one more song to do.

As the intro music for 'Chillin' It' started, Swindell reappeared wearing an Alabama baseball jersey and gave the crowd exactly what they wanted!
