Where’s Amy attended the Clint Black concert at the Palladium Aug. 26, where special guest Nashville singer/songwriter Hailey Whitters warmed up the crowd. The audience connected to Whitters’s raspy, soulful voice and was excited to hear she will be returning to Indiana to open for Martina McBride in October. I even bought her CD and fell in love with her original songs. Clint Black blew in later to a thunderous applause as he belted out his own powerful hit songs. He has been heralded as one of country music’s most successful and brightest stars with more than 20 million of his albums sold worldwide. His triple-platinum “Killin’ Time” marked a shift in the industry, with a return to the more traditional sounds of the genre. CMT lists this album as one of the 100 Greatest Albums in Country Music. Palladium fans of all ages loved his contagious energy as they sang, clapped and cheered for the country music legend. He was funny, charming and it’s safe to say he may have won the hearts of every female and or male in the house. Yep, another powerful concert in one of my favorite venues.
