Kip Moore, Sam Hunt, and Charlie Worsham at the Orpheum Theatre

I was lucky enough to attend the CMT: Up in Smoke tour on November 22nd at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston.  Anyone who was there was treated to a giant dance party with three very talented audience.  

Starting the show off was Sam Hunt who has enjoyed a ton of recent success including the #1 single, "Leave the Light On" after song writing success with Kenny Chesney's "Come Over", Keith Urban's "Cop Car" and Billy Currington's "We Are Tonight".  There's been some controversy over just how "country" he is, there's no mistaking his talent.  He brought the house down and had Orpheum rocking.  

Next up was Charlie Worsham.  I first read about Charlie in a Rolling Stone article about guitars you don't want to miss at CMA Fest.  I downloaded his debut album, "Rubberband" and was blown away.  He didn't disappoint live either.  He had a high energy set and was a great transition from Sam to Kip.  

Last up was the main event.  Kip Moore was one of those acts that had somehow escaped me in my rampant concert going.  Kip's voice is unreal and he's a fantastic entertainer.  He can go back and forth between soulful, sweet love songs (Hey Pretty Girl and Young Love) to party anthems (Something About a Truck) flawlessly.  Boston was definitely luck that country music came to town.
