Well there are many reasons I think we love country music so much and we really enjoy a country concert. One reason is that the artists in country music care a lot about giving you the best show possible for your money. They also make them accessible to their fans, unlike many other artists today. Just look at Fan Fair every year. I have been to so many shows before where the country artist went above and beyond just for the sake of the fans. Take this next story…

On Thursday, DARRYL WORLEY was hit in the head by the cover of a road case that struck his mic stand in Miles City, Montana. He was forced to leave the stage after his second song to receive stitches at a nearby emergency room, but promised to return to play for anyone who was left at the venue. Despite severe thunderstorms, which caused the strong winds that blew the road case cover in Darryl’s direction, some 800 fans were still at the venue when he returned a few hours later. Darryl kept his word and played for nearly an hour then signed autographs for the faithful fans.

There are stories like this all the time that just amaze me about the connection between fans and country music singers. Have you ever seen a country star going above and beyond for the fans? Post here to tell your story!
