The Cadillac Three & Clark Manson
Clark Manson: You may not know his name yet, but this guy has got the talent to make
you remember it. He can roll with the best of them. And I’ve gotta say I’m
pretty glad that my home state gets to claim him as ours. He and his band are
so chill on stage, they don’t hold any punches. You never know what’s going to
come out of their mouths, but it’ll sure give ya a damn good laugh. But they’ll
give ya a good time. The cover songs get the crowd singin’ along, and then
Clark will sing his own music too. Make

The Cadillac Three: Forget it being
all about the south, it’s all about these three guys. The crowd was buzzin’
just waiting for them to come onto the stage, and when they came out…total party mode. It was one of the
highest energy crowds I’ve seen at a concert. The guys sang their current music
and also sang the songs of their first album. The Sunday before the show, on
the 8th, Jaren attended the Grammy’s where the song he had written, Tim McGraw’s Meanwhile Back at Mama’s,
was nominated. TC3 then played their take on the Grammy nominated song. Their
entire set just had you feeling good and jammin’ along all night, and no one
wanted it to end.
The highlight of my night has to be Jaren’s attempt at
performing Sunshine & Whiskey, the song he wrote & recorded by Frankie
Ballard. Let’s just say, it makes for an interesting performance when the
songwriter forgets his own lyrics but the crowd is still singing the song.
Granted, they had never performed
this song.
I dressed pretty comfy for this show. I threw on my
Tribe Kelley tribe tee with a pair of jeans and my Timberland boots, and a coat
since Ohio has been colder than Antarctica (actually a fact) for days.
I’d say I had a pretty good Valentine’s Day seeing as
I spent my night with some rockin’ country singers. It never fails that when
the band gives their full energy to the performance, the crowd will send that
same energy back their way.
