On June 6, Daily’s Place came to live with amazing country vibes. With the lineup featuring Redferrin, ERNEST, and Old Dominion, the atmosphere at Daily’s Place was flooded with a mix of super chill and electrifying energy throughout the night.
Redferrin took the stage first, bringing in an amazing amount of energy. Blending country vocals with trap beats to deliver a unique country-hip-hop sound. His performance of “Jack and Diet Coke” stood out as a personal favorite.
Once Redferrin wrapped up his set, next came Ernest. He quickly grabbed the crowd’s attention when he began performing some of his smash hits like “Flower Shops,” he also surprised the audience by performing a song he helped write for Post Malone, off his F-1 Trillion album, “I Had Some Help (Feat. Morgan Wallen).” When the crowd heard that song, everyone was singing and jamming along with ERNEST as he performed this song for the audience.
By the time both opening artists finished performing, the amphitheater was filled with energy and good vibes. The crowd was on their feet, conversations were unfolding and excitement was filling the air. Fans were warmed up and ready for Old Dominion to take over the stage next.
Suspense began to fill the air as the crowd waited for Old Dominion. When Old Dominion took the stage to finish up the night, they didn’t disappoint. From the second the band walked on stage, the energy levels in the crowd began to quickly ramp up and intensify with excitement. The audience began screaming, whistling and clapping their hands as they were all taken away by the band’s charismatic and electrifying vibes.
Old Dominion delivered a dynamic performance, seamlessly moving through hits from their catalog, including “Break Up with Him” from their 2015 album Meat and Candy, and “Making Good Time,” a new track off their
upcoming album Barbra, due Aug. 22. Their musicianship was tight, their charisma undeniable.
The band’s vibes on the stage were powerful and moving. From the songs they played, to constantly interacting with the crowd. The band wasn’t just here to perform. They were here to create a memorable and interactive experience for the crowd.
What made the show especially memorable was the band’s deep connection with the audience. Lead singer Matthew Ramsey scanned the crowd for song requests, responding to handwritten signs and spontaneous shouts. He challenged the band to perform tracks they hadn’t played in years—or ever—giving the night an unpredictable, intimate feel.
One standout request was “Beer Can in a Truck Bed.” From the moment I heard this song, it made me feel like I was relaxing on a boat on a warm summer day, sunglasses on, and my feet kicked back.
I’ve been to many concerts at Daily’s Place, from rock to hip-hop. But never a country one and it won’t be my last. The overall atmosphere at the venue was laid back and electrifying. From all the songs performed, the crowd came together more and more, creating this huge sense of camaraderie. Whether you’re a seasoned listener of country or curious on what the vibes are like at a country concert, this experience is something you don’t want to miss out on. Whether Old Dominion returns for another show, or a different artist takes the stage, country music nights like this are well worth the experience.
