Joel Crouse
Let me tell ya, if you haven’t been lucky enough to
catch this guy in concert then you are missing out on something magical. His
voice is unlike most, and that’s what makes it so special. He has his own sound
that doesn’t compare to anyone, although you can hear his musical influences
within the chords and melodies of his heartfelt tunes. He has a way of
captivating a room with the conviction that he puts into each and every one of
his songs. He is an artist that pulls you in so closely that you forget you’re
at a show and not just listening to him alone.
This was the first time I’ve caught a show that had
the full band, rather than either Joel himself or having Kyle along. The band
added a whole new energy to the set, but I was glad to see Joel also do an
acoustic portion of just him. The new material that he has for his album hits
me right in the sweet spot of feels. One of the songs he sang was something new
that wasn’t performed before when I saw him and I was overwhelmed with the
feelings that came over me while taking it in.
If you are looking for an artist to add to your music
collection, I highly suggest Joel. You will immediately be blown away by the
talent that he has. Trust me; he has all the makings to be a superstar. He’ll
be releasing new music soon so y’all make sure that when it comes out that you
pick it up and inhale the dope vibes that he gives out. And if ya haven’t been
to a show of his yet, keep an eye out if he’s comin’ near you. If you’re attending CMA Fest, he’s scheduled
to perform on Saturday. You will not regret it, I promise. He doesn’t
disappoint, if anything he’ll surpass your expectations completely.
I was so glad to be able to catch the show. Joel is
really a genuine person and someone who lives for the music that he puts out.
Those are the kind of artists who will always top my list, because they put
their full selves into a song and they know how important the support from fans
is. I’m glad to call Joel a friend because he is honestly one of the kindest
souls I’ve met.
