Rhonda Towns kicked off the Saturday Riverfront stage shows singing her touching rendition of our National Anthem.
The first artist of the day was Joe Nichols. The crowd had started lining up at 6:00 am to see Nichols performance this morning. Joe's set was packed full of fan favorites, such as "Size Matters" and "What's A Guy Gotta Do."
Next, the Universal South artist performed his current single, "It Ain't No Crime" and "Brokenheartsville" to to the cheering crowd.
Joe wrapped up his set with his upcoming single, "Let's Get Drunk and Fight" and his number #1 single, "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off." Nichols' fans swayed and sang along to all his songs. As Nichols left the stage, many people packed up their belongings heading off to get in line at varies locations in hopes of obtaining an autograph from the country crooner.
