Spartanburg, SC (11/11/22) – What may have been a dreary day outside for many soon turned to a 90’s throwback party inside Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium. With country stars Tracy Lawrence and Clay Walker teaming up for a night of great nostalgic hits you can’t not have a good time. Guest opener Alexandra Kay warmed up the crowd performing many of her originals including the viral TikTok song “That’s What Love Is.” She also showcased her love of 90’s country with a medley that included hit songs from Reba McEntire, Brooks & Dunn, Dolly Parton and more before closing out with “Tall Boys.”
After a set change it was time for the headlining event. From the side stage darkness would emerge Tracy Lawrence and Clay Walker as the crowd would rise to their feet. The duo spent the night song swapping through their expansive list of hit songs. At times the pair would share one another’s songs exchanging vocal duties as the backing band compromising of members from each artists on groups delivered foundation for the two singers. Each artist also had moments alone on stage to deliver sing along moments with the crowd.
Tracy Lawrence provided hits such as “Alibis,” “Good Die Young” and “Texas Tornado.” Clay Walker went on to include “This Woman and This Man,” “Hypnotize The Moon” and “Rumor Has It.” Both artists also introduced the crowd to some of their new music that still features the same brand of country music we are used to from them and not conforming to the current main stream radio sounds. Tracy gave us “Don’t Drink Whiskey” and “Nothing Burns” as Clay gave us “You Look Good.”
The night couldn’t be complete without paying homage to some of the performers who have inspired the two over the years and also some who the world has lost. Clay performed “Amarillo By Morning” from George Strait and Tracy sang “In Color” from Jamey Johnson. The duo would team up for a medley of tunes that included classic songs from the likes of Charlie Daniels, Joe Diffie, Kenny Rogers and Charlie Pride.
As the show ended fans were left wanting more and were informed that the duo would be teaming up for more dates in 2023. Be sure to check each artists sites for updates on upcoming shows.
