Up and coming pop country stars Cold Creek County entertained an enthusiastic audience consisting mostly of pretty girls at Average Joes for July 4.
The crowd was in the mood to party so the band were happy to supply the soundtrack of easily digestible radio friendly pop country along the lines of Emerson Drive.
There were plenty of nuggets about living in a small town, drinking, dancing and having a good time with the boys.
They have a new CD coming out soon, so they played the songs from that including the first single “Our Town,” which came mid way through their set, which included plenty of loud guitars, banjitar for extra twang, and, around Our Town, plenty of panty removing power ballads.
Frontman Brandon Scott, in between singing and rapping, serenaded two pretty girls seated centre stage by crooning “I Want to Drink You Up.” Scott played piano on another ballad as his band mates knelt in front of him on stage.
Lead guitarist Trevor Macleod posed and danced and played rocking leads and slide guitar on a couple of songs.
Josh Lester also added a few leads while his brother, bassist Justin Lester sang harmonies and locked in with drummer Doug Oliver.
I missed the opening set by John Paul Smith.
