Plenty of country girls are still willing to shake it at a Luke Bryan show, especially South Florida country girls! The country star brought his trademark brand of bro-country charm to a packed iThink Financial Amphitheatre on Sept. 12th, delivering a high-energy set that had the crowd two-stepping from start to finish. The reigning king of good-time anthems didn't disappoint, serving up a steady stream of radio-friendly hits from his extensive catalog.
Bryan kicked things off with the party-starter "That's My Kind of Night," setting the tone for an evening of unabashed rural revelry. His stage presence remains as affable as ever, with a grin as wide as a Georgia peach orchard and enough aw-shucks stage presence to win over even the most cynical city slicker.
The set list leaned heavily on Bryan's recent album, with new tracks like "Country On" and "Up" fitting seamlessly alongside established crowd-pleasers. While hardly groundbreaking, these songs showcase Bryan's knack for crafting catchy, relatable tunes that resonate with his core fanbase.
Between the obligatory ballads and beer-soaked singalongs, Bryan took a moment to acknowledge the changing landscape of country music. He closed with the ever-popular "Country Girl (Shake It for Me)," and it was clear that this is precisely what his fans came for.
