Still fresh into his

Country On Tour, which kicked off in June, Luke Bryan stopped by the Ball Arena in Denver.

Starting the evening were openers Alana Springsteen, Tyler Braden and Ashley Cooke who amped the crowd up for Bryan to take the stage at 9pm with “Kick the Dust Up.”

Bryan, in a classic every-man look, donned a plain black T-shirt, jeans, and a black baseball cap might be the most fan-friendly singer around; as he high-fived, dolled out numerous autographs, and acknowledged many of the homemade posters that were waved throughout the evening.

The stage featured a walkway with views to satisfy all ticket holders near and far, and Bryan belted out hit after hit during his more than 2-hour set, including, “Huntin’ Fishin’ and Lovin’ Every Day,” “Buy Dirt,” and “Country Girl (Shake It For Me),” while couples in the VIP section made room to two-step.

Bryan’s energy more than matched that of the lively crowd, often times boosting it when he’d acknowledge their handmade signs. For one young birthday girl, Bryan read her poster and brought her on stage where he asked how old she was (10), and proceeded to graciously autograph her sign, likely making her feel like a birthday princess superstar.

At one point, the evening’s openers joined Bryan on stage for a mashup of Aerosmith’s “Sweet Emotion,” Dolly Parton’s “9-5” and Post Malone’s “Sunflower.” And somehow, it worked.

To say that Bryan is a fan of his fans could be an understatement, he’s a class act when it comes to making each person feel seen and heard by him. While cowboy hats, posters, and hands bobbed and waved, Bryan pulled off the impossible, and managed to make the crowded arena feel like a get together in his back yard.

The Country On Tour tour goes through mid-October. Check out upcoming dates here, https://www.lukebryan.com/home and don’t miss this one!
