I was trying to find the perfect words to describe the Aaron Pritchett concert that took place at the Théâtre Beanfield this past Saturday night and the first ones that came to mind were a rip-roaring good time. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun at a show, or when the fans were having such a blast. All of that, by only the second song of the night. That's when Aaron Pritchett was joined on stage by fellow Canadian Country Superstar Cory Marks and Montreal's own King of Country, Matt Lang for their hit single Liquored Up. From that point on, there was no containing the crowd, or everyone on stage. The rip-roaring good time had commenced, and there was nothing that could stop it. This was kind of unique show in that there was no opening act, the stage was equally shared by the trio all night. It was called The Liquored Up Tour and the trio has been tearing up stages across the County. It also provided me an extended stay in the photo pit. Usually, we only get three songs to take out photographs, but on this occasion, management granted me an hour to take my shots which was necessary as Matt Lang only hit the stage after fifth song and I wouldn't have gotten any shots of him. Speaking of which, there will be a couple of extra updates coming up with photographs of Cory Marks and Matt Lang in the near future. Back to Aaron Pritchett, this was my first time seeing him perform, and talk about making a great first impression. Great stage presence, having fun with the fans, and also great stage facials make up just the performance aspect of his show. We haven't even talked about the music yet. Aaron Pritchett opened the show with his hit single Let's Get Rowdy, and the crowd didn't need to be told twice. He followed that up with the previously mentioned Liquored Up with his two guest stars before returning later for a few more songs. Altogether, they trio performed 30 songs, giving the fans in attendance more than their moneys worth. After seeing the set-list, I kind of wish that I had stuck around a bit longer myself. Aaron Prtichett's latest album, The Score, was released back in 2016, but there have been a score of singles that he has released since then, including his most recent, 'Just Wanna Feel It' earlier this year, so perhaps a new album will be coming soon. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/640sec, ISO 8000 at 33mm. The second photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/640sec, ISO 8000 at 33mm and the third photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/400sec, ISO 8000 24mm. Here are several more photographs of Aaron Pritchett, and his liquored up friends, in action.
