Clover County Asheville Concert reviews
Great night at the Bowl :)
The Fray was next up, and although I have never heard a song by them that I didn't like, I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan. They sounded great live, but the majority of the crowd was clearly there for Kelly, which showed in the marked lack of enthusiasm by the audience during their set (most people remained seated). The show started with opener, Carolina Liar, who were a decent opening act but could have done more to engage the crowd. As soon as AC/DC's You Shook Me All Night Long started playing (the song is a sign that Kelly is about to come out), the crowd knew what was happening and stood up to welcome her. By the time their set ended and they announced Kelly Clarkson as the next performer, the crowd immediately perked up. She finally graced the stage and performed a high-energy 16-song set that was never boring. She even brought along guests, John Legend and Jason Farol, to duet with. Having attended a Clover County show before, I expected nothing less than the best from this one -- and I was not disappointed. Almost everyone in the crowd was on their feet and stayed there until the last song. I will most definitely be going to see Kelly perform again in the future. She never fails to put on a great show.
