Recap:
I am always amazed watching people pool into Jackson Street Pier for a “Party at the Pier”performance. There is such excitement in the air. Up first was “Lainey Nation”, the ultimate tribute to country music sensation Lainey Wilson.
Styled in Lainey Wilson's flamboyant attire, “Lainey Nation" lead vocalist (Caitlin} who has performed with Taylor Swift, Shakira, Ringo Starr, Keith Urban, and more, bedazzled the crowd with charm, charisma, & feminine allure. Like Wilson herself, the trademark cowboy hat was very fashionable and complimented her rose colored heart-shaped sunglasses. The silver country belt buckle on her waist perfectly matched her form fitting country bell bottom attire. As she performed her twists, turns, and sultry moves her voluminous curls stretched endlessly and looked celestial as the sun’s golden rays gently laid upon them. She performed many trademark Lainey Wilson songs but the one that stood out to me was "Wildflowers and Wild Horses". After an invigorating set she eloquently stepped aside, and we were introduced to “Wallen Nation” America's premier touring tribute band dedicated to country superstar Morgan Wallen.
Based out of Nashville Tennessee, “Wallen Nation” channels the raw emotion, southern charm, and high-octane energy that have made Morgan Wallen a household name. Strong and youthful, Morgan Wallen’s frontman (Hampton) made quite the impression. His minimalist attire was quite fitting’s as he looked like a 1 to 1 replica of the artist he paid tribute to. His snapback hat was reminiscent of Morgan himself, and his boots gave the impression of a country boy who enjoyed a simple shot of whiskey. His long sleeve button up fit snuggly and complimented his athletic build. Light on his toes, he effortlessly leaped and glided across the stage all the while perfectly maintaining his balance. And just like one of the boys he “dapped up” and shook hands with all of the young men near the stage. He was also nice enough to take a few photos with some fans. He performed many Morgan songs, my favorite being "Whiskey Glasses".
Both Caitlin & Hampton alternated accompanying guitar play while the other would perform. The supporting cast of electric guitarists and the kick drummer all did a phenomenal job of keeping the whole band harmonious, and in sync. A very nice evening when these two “United Nations” came together to put on an awesome show in a small town named “Sandusky”.
