Shinedown in Concert
For a rock band that spans almost 2 decades there are a lot of great songs to choose from and only so little time to play them in one night. Shinedown will play you a mix of songs spanning from “Leave a Whisper” to “Attention! Attention!” with a jam packed set of favorites and deep tracks. Old favorites like “45” and the cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man” might grace the stage along side “Save Me” and “Bully”. Are you head bobbing to “Bully” in your head right now? Don’t worry, that’s bound to happen.
For the true Shinedown fans you’ll wish you could put on every album and listen to them through to find those deep tracks you love so much. Maybe you’ll be in for a couple surprises and hear some of those songs that made you fall in love with them in the first place.
Shinedown’s new album has brought in a host of new fans that may not be as familiar with the band as many other fans have been for years. Songs from this hard rocking and upbeat album will have you jumping out of your seat screaming and even swaying along to harmonious melody. Lead singer, Brent Smith, will undoubtedly put on a vocal performance that will leave you inspired. His vocal range and ability is truly amazing, seeing him perform live is almost the only way to believe it. Just like the Crow chasing the Butterfly, find the closest show near you and discover the “Sound of Madness” that only Shinedown has created.
